The summer transfer market in Basque football could experience one of its most intense episodes with the future of Aimar Oroz at the center of the debate. The talented attacking midfielder from Osasuna has attracted the interest of two giants in the region: Athletic Club and Real Sociedad. Both clubs have set their sights on one of the reds' gems, aware that his signing would not only strengthen their squads but also send a strong message to their rival.
Aimar Oroz, target of Real Sociedad and Athletic Club
For months, the San Mamés team seemed to have the upper hand in the race to secure the services of the young Navarrese player. His profile fits perfectly into Athletic's model, and the relationship between both entities has been smooth in other dealings. However, Real Sociedad's strong entry has completely changed the scenario. Imanol Alguacil's team not only values his footballing potential but also the significance of snatching such a coveted target from their historic adversary.
At Osasuna, they already assume that Oroz's departure is a matter of time. With a valid contract but tempting sporting proposals on the table, the Navarrese club sees his transfer as an opportunity to generate significant income, although they do not want to rush. Aimar, for his part, remains focused on finishing the season while his environment analyzes which project will allow him to continue developing as a footballer.
The reality is that both in Bilbao and San Sebastián, they believe that these types of deals can mark a before and after. Oroz, at just 23 years old, has established himself as one of the most promising talents in LaLiga, and his choice could fuel the rivalry between two of the most emblematic clubs in Spanish football for years to come.
