Real Sociedad has initiated contacts to incorporate Axel Witsel as reinforcement for the upcoming season. The txuri-urdin club, in need of shoring up its defense after Aguerd's departure and with limited resources due to being out of European competitions, sees the former Atlético de Madrid player as an interesting cost-free opportunity. As revealed by journalist Sacha Tavolieri, the veteran Belgian footballer would be willing to continue his career in La Liga, which would facilitate his arrival in San Sebastián.

The transfer market has been calm at Anoeta, despite the million-dollar departure of Martín Zubimendi to Arsenal. The sporting direction has not yet made any signings and prioritizes low economic impact signings. Witsel, who ended his contract with Atlético in June, fits that profile: experience, versatility, and no transfer cost.

Axel Witsel, in the sights of Real Sociedad

At 36 years old, the Liege-born player can play both as a center-back and midfielder, something that appeals to Real in a context where sporting and financial resources are more limited than in previous seasons. During his last stage as a colchonero, his presence was intermittent, participating in just over twenty matches, but his knowledge of the league and his status as a free agent make him remain an attractive option.

Discussions with his camp have already begun, and everything indicates that the interest is mutual. Witsel wants to stay in Spain, and Real Sociedad represents a competitive opportunity to stay on the radar of high-level football. If no major obstacles arise, the Belgian international could soon be wearing white and blue.
