The sporting direction of Real Sociedad does not waste time. With the next season in sight, the Guipuzcoan club is already working intensely to strengthen its squad with three key additions. Following the recent appointment of Sergio Francisco as the new coach of the first team and Erik Bretos as the sporting director, the txuri urdin machinery has been set in motion to face a summer that is expected to be active in terms of departures.
A defender of hierarchy is needed:
The first objective is to shore up the defense. The departure of Nayef Aguerd will leave a difficult gap to fill with just the youth of Jon Martín, despite his promising potential. Aritz Elustondo, Igor Zubeldia and Jon Pacheco will continue, but the club deems it essential to add a reliable center back to raise the defensive level after an inconsistent season in that sector.
A midfielder to make up for Zubimendi:
The second reinforcement will come in the midfield. Martín Zubimendi will head to Arsenal, and although there are alternatives within the club such as Urko González de Zárate or Pablo Marín, Real is not ruling out bringing in an experienced midfielder who can assume responsibilities from the start.
Searching for a winger with dribbling skills and quality:
Finally, the attack will also undergo changes. Sheraldo Becker has not performed as expected, and his departure seems imminent. Therefore, they are looking for a winger who can bring dribbling and goals, especially if more exits are confirmed, such as the possible sale of Take Kubo.
