Illarramendi rejects Man City offer

Manchester City have failed with a bumper offer for Spain Under-21 star Asier Illarramendi.The Real Sociedad midfielder wants to move to Real Madrid and turned down a bigger contract offer from City to commit to the Spanish giants, says Punto Pelota.

City offered €30 million to Real Sociedad for Illarramendi, including the option for him to spend the coming season on loan at San Sebastian. Their contract offer was worth five times the 23 year old's current salary, but he has turned it down to commit to Real Madrid.

According to Marca, Illarramendi will wear Kaka’s No 8 shirt once his expected move to Real Madrid is finalised.The Real Sociedad midfielder wore the same number shirt at Anoeta last term and is expected to don the jersey vacated by Brazilian international Kaka, who is understood to be surplus to requirements at the Santiago Bernabeu by new boss Carlo Ancelotti.
