Framing
Short, factual transfer reports. CNA leads with the signing and Carvajal's career record; Anadolu leads with the contract length and adds the pay-cut and La Liga regulation context.
Emphasis
CNA stresses his trophies, caps and a possible January return against Real Madrid. Anadolu stresses the contract date, reported salary drop and the delay.
Leaves out or plays down
CNA does not give the end date or mention salary or the regulatory delay. Anadolu leaves out his appearance count, Leverkusen spell and Getafe's league position.
