This is a defining moment in the Royal's career, where he will have the opportunity to prove and reaffirm his full potential, which we have always known to be extraordinary. Potential and power are different concepts, and today I can affirm that the Royal brings them both together in a unique way. He is prepared, complete, and ready to give 100% to the club, where he can play his great football and show his full ability. We start a new cycle, marked by a solid family and professional trajectory, which includes passes through major clubs. But we believe this is the biggest and most important moment in the Royal career so far. There are no limits or obstacles for those with a limitless and unconformed mind. The Royal knows this is the time to showcase all of its high-level, selection-worthy potential. We follow together, with confidence and determination, so that he achieves the success he deserves."
