Real Sociedad has already found a replacement for the departure of Martin Zubimendi. The Basque club has completed the signing of Yangel Herrera, a Venezuelan midfielder who joins from Girona after several weeks of intense negotiations.

The move was made in response to the urgent need to strengthen the midfield, an area weakened after Zubimendi's departure to Arsenal at the beginning of August. The agreement has been reached for a figure close to 15 million euros, according to sources close to the operation. A significant amount, but manageable for a club that needed to fill a strategic gap in its squad. Initially, there was speculation about the possibility of including Umar Sadiq in the exchange, but the Nigerian forward declined to join the Catalan team, so the transfer was completed solely with a cash payment.

Real Sociedad completes the signing of Yangel Herrera

With this signing, Real Sociedad ensures muscle, physical prowess, and attacking presence in the opposition's area. Yangel Herrera established himself at Girona as one of the top midfielders of the past season, playing a key role in the historic performance of the team led by Míchel. His ability to cover ground, recover balls, and contribute to the build-up play make him a top-tier reinforcement for Sergio Francisco's squad.

The sports management, led by Roberto Olabe, acted swiftly to respond to Zubimendi's departure. The Venezuelan arrives not just as a mere replacement but as a player capable of offering new tactical options in the white and blue team's setup. In San Sebastián, they trust that his adaptation will be quick, as he is well acquainted with the Spanish League from his spells at Granada, Espanyol, and Girona.

Moreover, this transfer confirms Real Sociedad's ambition to remain in the upper echelons of the EA Sports League and compete confidently in the upcoming edition of the Europa League. In a market where reinforcing the midfield is increasingly costly, securing the signature of an established player like Herrera represents a show of authority.

The Venezuelan, 27 years old, will sign a contract until 2029 and has already undergone a medical examination at Zubieta. The txuri-urdin fans will welcome him with open arms, aware that his arrival could be crucial in maintaining balance in midfield. With his international experience with the Vinotinto, he will also bring hierarchy and character to a squad that is keen on not losing competitiveness.

The deal also clarifies the immediate future of Umar Sadiq, who will remain at Anoeta at least until the next transfer window. Although there were doubts about his continuity, Sergio Francisco believes he can still regain his best form.

Real Sociedad secures a strategic signing that will allow them to face a demanding season with confidence. Yangel Herrera lands in Donostia with the mission of filling the gap left by Zubimendi and establishing himself as the new engine in the white and blue midfield.
