Real Sociedad is already moving decisively in the transfer market, and everything indicates that their first signing for the 2025/26 season is close to being finalized. Although the Basque club has not yet announced any official arrivals, the steps taken in recent hours point to Brazilian Igor Julio as the leading candidate to become the first reinforcement of the new project led by Erik Bretos in the sporting direction.

The first signing for Real is about to happen

The Basque team is looking to strengthen their defense, and unable to retain Nayef Aguerd (wanted by other clubs and financially unfeasible for the txuri-urdin), all attention has turned to Igor Julio, the current player at Brighton. As reported by the newspaper AS, the former Fiorentina player has had little continuity this season in the Premier League, arousing in him the desire to find a destination where he can reclaim a spotlight. Real Sociedad offers him precisely that: an important role and stability that he currently lacks in England.

Negotiations have already begun, and there is full agreement with the player. His circle clearly indicates a preference for playing at Anoeta, which facilitates the process. The English club would not oppose a loan deal, and although his market value is around 20 million euros, a loan arrangement would ease his arrival. If the deal is sealed, Igor Julio would be a solid bet to strengthen the Basque team's defense.
