Carlos Soler, a luxury addition for Real Sociedad
After leaving Valencia in 2022, Soler played 63 matches in France, scoring 8 goals and providing 8 assists for the Parisian team. Subsequently, he had a loan spell in England, playing 33 games for West Ham, contributing with a goal and an assist.
Although he didn't establish himself as a regular starter in Paris, his midfield versatility and ability to reach the box make him a quality reinforcement for the txuri-urdin project.
In Donostia, they trust that the former Valencia player will regain the form he showed at Mestalla, where he emerged as an offensive leader and earned a call-up to the Spanish national team.

Yangel Herrera, Real Sociedad's other major target
The addition of Carlos Soler won't be the only new face. The club is also working to finalize the arrival of Yangel Herrera from Girona. The 27-year-old Venezuelan midfielder has a personal agreement with the Guipuzcoan club, with the deal estimated at around 15 million euros.
Despite an injury that will keep him out for six to eight weeks, Real Sociedad's interest remains strong. It has been leaked that Yangel himself requested his departure from Girona to Donostia, convinced that it is the right move for his career.

The signing of Carlos Soler and negotiations for Yangel Herrera come in a busy summer for the txuri-urdin sports management. In addition to arrivals, the Basque club is managing departures: Sadiq Umar is keen on returning to Valencia, while Javi López seems destined for Oviedo, and Hamari Traoré could be heading to Paris CF.
Real Sociedad kicked off the season with two draws against Valencia and Espanyol, results that highlight the need to strengthen the midfield after Martin Zubimendi's departure to Arsenal.
The arrival of Carlos Soler brings creativity and goals from midfield, while Yangel Herrera will provide defensive balance and physical presence. Both fit into Sergio Francisco's vision of a dynamic midfield with multiple options.
