Transfer news – Carlos Soler joins Real Sociedad for €8 million | OneFootball

Carlos Soler, a 28-year-old midfielder who joined Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2022 from Valencia with a contract running until 2027, was unable to impress on the pitch and was loaned to West Ham for the 2024-2025 season. He has returned to Paris, with a solution for his future needing to be found. That solution should be with Real Sociedad. According to Matteo Moretto, the transfer is estimated at 8 million euros, with bonuses and a percentage on a future resale. The former Spanish international will quickly undergo his medical before signing his contract.

With this transfer, Paris Saint-Germain is above all continuing the major clean-up started since last summer. After having long accumulated players on the fringes of the project, the club is now working to streamline its squad, reducing the wage bill and parting ways with players deemed non-essential. The example of Carlos Soler, who arrived for nearly 18 million euros but never found his place in Paris, illustrates this shift.

PSG now prefers to accept measured financial losses rather than keep players lacking playing time. This more rational strategy not only frees up space for young talents and key signings, but also simplifies Luis Enrique’s sporting management. By including smart clauses like the 50% on a resale, Paris shows that it is seeking to balance its short-term needs with its future prospects.
