Kieran Tierney open to staying in LaLiga: Arsenal return in doubt | OneFootball

Kieran Tierney has spoken about his future following his loan at Real Sociedad from Arsenal. He mentioned how keen he is to stay in LaLiga beyond the end of this season when his loan deal expires.

As per El Desmarque, the full-back doesn’t see himself back at Arsenal and wishes to continue in LaLiga. Real Sociedad, despite lacking the option to buy, don’t rule out competing for his signing. Tierney openly declares his affection for Real: “I love being here; I’ve been very lucky to be here.”

With four matches remaining in the LaLiga season, Real Sociedad are aiming to secure their presence in Europe for the fifth consecutive season. Their growth as a club continues after a memorable year, highlighted by their Champions League round of 16 appearance against PSG.

As the season concludes, attention shifts to planning for the next campaign. Key among the considerations is the left-back position, with Kieran Tierney’s future still uncertain. Real Sociedad don’t possess a buy option for the Arsenal loanee but could head into the transfer market in an attempt to secure his place at the club next season.

Tierney’s future has sparked recent discussions. Uncertain about returning to Arsenal, especially given the stiff competition in his position, he contemplates seeking a new destination.

In an interview with The Athletic, he hinted at his readiness for change, acknowledging the unpredictability of a football career: “If I go back and it’s the same as before then I’m not silly, I know the chances are I’ll be leaving.” Tierney expressed his fondness for LaLiga and his willingness to adapt to new environments, hinting at a possible future in Spain. The next few months will be crucial in determining the next chapter in Kieran Tierney’s football journey.
