Not entirely unproven. He was part of the Spain squad that won the Under-21 this summer and was a regular for Sociedad as they finished 4th. Still a ton of money, though. Sounds like they had to pay his buyout clause to get him.

Buyout plus taxes, though it sounds like Real can claim bak the taxes.

Interested to see where he fits, they don't have a shortage of midfielders now
