Alexander Isak renews his contract with Real Sociedad until 2026. The great news that all the fans of the txuri-urdin team were waiting for is now a reality. It has been made to beg more than desired, because the proposal was on the table of the Swedish player since the end of last season and it seemed that he agreed; but his participation in the Eurocup has been terminated and his new contract has been signed, with which he substantially improves his record and raises the amount of his termination clause, as AS announced https://as.com/futbol/2021/05/19/primer ... 99912.html. It goes from 70 million to 90 million euros, already without the risk that Borussia Dortmund could buy it back for only 30 million. Alexander Isak signed his new contract with Real on Thursday afternoon in the Swedish town of Stockholm, in the presence of the president of the San Sebastian club, Jokin Aperribay, and the director of Football, Roberto Olabe.

The real club has announced this long-awaited news with a brief press release published on social networks with which it responded to a previous message published minutes before with a photo of the Swedish group ABBA accompanied by the words "Mamma mía" in reference to the famous song from Isak's country group and the big announcement they were preparing.

Real Sociedad and Alexander Isak have reached an agreement to renew their contract. The new relationship lasts until June 30, 2026. The attacker, accompanied by the president, Jokin Aperribay, and the Director of Soccer, Roberto Olabe, has signed his new contract this afternoon in Stockholm.

Real Sociedad said, minutes later. In this way, Real reassures its fans, because the name of Alexander Isak did not stop ringing among the great European clubs to sign him this summer. But with the increase in the clause, placing it in the barrier of 90 'big ones', in some way that risk is also eliminated, although it must also be taken into account that, if Isak accepts the offer of renewal of the Real Sociedad, it is also because he has no intention of accepting any of proposals that may come to him from Premier League clubs such as Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal.

In this way, La Real shields its great star a little more, because it must be remembered that his contract ends in 2024, so there was still room for him to continue in San Sebastián. But this is how he assures him a little more, placing his salary at the level of the importance he has acquired in the San Sebastian club and raising his clause a little, to levels that are more difficult to assume by more economically powerful clubs in the current context of crisis in which football lives due to the coronavirus pandemic.



Alexander Isak has been happy after signing his renewal with Real Sociedad.

I am very happy to continue at Real. It is a great club, I feel very loved and I really want to continue enjoying with the team,

he said in a statement to the club's official media.

Later, he left a message on the social networks of the Donostiarra club.

Fans, I'm anxious of seeing you in the stadium, we are going to see each other soon and I am looking forward to continuing to play for you,

Isak pointed out in perfect Spanish.

The 'Swedish pearl' is one of the new idols of the fans of the Reale Arena, in whose stands a song is already being sung in his honor. After playing the European Championship with the Swedish national team, eliminated in the round of 16, Isak will have a few days of vacation and will join the Zubieta discipline on July 26, with the preseason under the command of Imanol Alguacil already advanced.
