Real had to pay the Clause plus some extra money to Real Sociedad in order to get this playermaker who has said he didnt want to leave, but as a person who watches la liga regulary i gotta say he is worth the price...

Real Sociedad will use the money plus some money from their already existing budget from before to get some new playrs im sure, they have good economy so why wouldnt they, They have had a solid well worked together team this year but a few new signing may fit in the group. Lets just hope not their other star Inigo Martinez (CB) doesnt leave...

Real themselves publicly declared it to be 30 Million, not 38...

But anyways, the Spanish FA has some retarded laws (buyout clauses, TV rights, handball rules), but I don't mind dishing out 30+ million for Illara as long as he stays with us for a long time and brings us a lot of success. :)
Then he'll be worth every penny, like Ramos, Ronaldo, and Ozil.
