🤔 Real Sociedad: Summer shake-up or sticking with the same? | OneFootball

The summer transfer market is set to mark a turning point for Real Sociedad, a club that must bounce back after a disastrous year.

With the likely sale of Martín Zubimendi to Arsenal for a figure close to €60 million, the txuri-urdin club faces a strategic dilemma: should they bet on their youth academy or strengthen the team with key signings?

According to Cadena SER, the internal debate revolves around maintaining the Zubieta DNA by promoting talents like Jon Gorrotxategi, or investing in an experienced midfielder to cover the possible departure of Zubimendi.

The biggest burden of the latest Imanol-era Real was the lack of goals, and that adds a sense of urgency to the planning. Will there be a new number nine?

On the other hand, Bayern Munich’s interest in Takefusa Kubo has set off alarm bells at Anoeta, although his release clause (€60 million) makes his departure difficult.

Real Sociedad could have unprecedented liquidity this summer, but according to AS, they still trust in the development of players like Luka Sucic and Arsen Zakharyan.

What will the summer bring at Anoeta?
