Carlos Vela has agreed to join Real Sociedad on a 3 year deal from Arsenal FC by AH
The Mexican striker will link up with his team mates in the coming days as he returns to the Spanish club that he spent last season on loan to.
The fee is set at £4.2 million with a £1.5 million add-on fee based of performance related actions. Arsenal also included two clauses in Vela’s permanent transfer to Real Sociedad. A 30% sell on fee was included in the deal, whilst Arsenal also have the option to re-sign Vela in the next two years for £5.5 million.
Vela had his best season yet, last season as he scored 12 goals in 35 appearances. He is well-known for his goals at Arsenal too scoring various ‘cheeky chips’ and if Vela proves to be successful in Spain again next season, it wouldn’t be surprising to see Arsenal exercise the right to re-sign him for the cut price of £5.5 million.
Arsenal.com confirmed “Arsenal Football Club has announced that striker Carlos Vela is in San Sebastian this evening for final discussions about a permanent move to Spanish La Liga side Real Sociedad, the 23-year old Mexican international spent the whole of 2011/12 on loan with the Spanish club and enjoyed a successful campaign in La Liga, scoring 12 times in 35 appearances.”
Carlos Vela joined Arsenal in 2005 and went on to play 62 matches for Arsenal, scoring 11 goals.
It’s a shame to lose another promising player that sadly didn’t live up to the expectations. But it shows a sign of intent that we want to move on and have money available for other players to join us.
I’m also happy that Arsenal have inserted a clause that we receive a percentage for any sale that does happen, as I think he will greatly improve over the coming seasons.
