R. Madrid sign Illarramendi for £34m

     Real Madrid have signed Real Sociedad and Spanish youngster Asier Illarramendi on a six year contract for £34 million.

     The 23 year-old, who was the backbone of Spain's winning U-21 Euro 2013 squad, passed a medical at the Bernanbau today. 

     The new-Xabi Alonso is Carlo Ancelloti's fourth signing this summer with Malaga's Isco, Bayer Leverksuen's Dani Carvajal and Sao Paulo's Casemiro being added to the Spanish giants' squad. 

Illarramendi says that moving to Real wasn't easy as Sociedad has given him so much.
