Watch out Real Sociedad! Girona set an insane price for Yangel Herrera

Real Sociedad is interested in signing Yangel Herrera to strengthen their midfield, but they face a significant problem: The price set by Girona for his transfer is 30 million euros.

At 27 years old, Herrera has established himself as one of the key players in Míchel's system. Last season, he played 34 official matches, scoring 4 goals and providing 3 assists, reflecting his importance in midfield.

Furthermore, his contract runs until June 2027, with a release clause matching Girona's asking price for his departure. The club is in a state of "tense calm," as reported by close sources, as losing their midfield engine would be a significant blow just days before the transfer window closes, as reported by El Desmarque.

Real Sociedad seeks replacement for Zubimendi

The departure of Martín Zubimendi to Arsenal has left a gap in Real Sociedad that coach Sergio Francisco aims to fill with a reliable midfielder. While players like Jon Gorrotxategi and Urko González de Zárate have returned from loan spells, the club is looking for a player with more international experience.

In this context, Herrera fits perfectly. Erik Bretos, the sporting director, has him on his priority list, but Girona's asking price poses a challenge for any immediate move. It's worth noting that the most expensive signing in the history of the Guipuzcoan club is the 20 million euros invested in Sadiq Umar, making Herrera's 30 million a record amount.

Girona does not appear to be in a hurry to sell. The imminent departure of Miguel Gutiérrez to Napoli will address economic needs, reinforcing their firm stance regarding the Venezuelan midfielder.

Real Sociedad still has two weeks to finalize their squad. So far, they have only added Duje Caleta-Car in defense and Gonçalo Guedes in attack, moves that do not address the midfield needs.

Yangel Herrera to Real Sociedad: A complex signing

Signing Yangel Herrera would be a bold sporting move for the Basque club, but it also presents a financial challenge. Investing 30 million in a single player would mean breaking their transfer policy and taking on significant financial risk.

Míchel himself, Girona's coach, has emphasized the importance of the Venezuelan several times, describing him as a player who provides balance, attacking threat, and leadership on the field. Losing him at this stage would require restructuring the entire midfield of the Catalan team.

For now, Real Sociedad maintains their interest, but it seems that only a significant sale in these days would allow for the signing. One thing is clear, Yangel Herrera has become one of the most sought-after names in the final days of the transfer market.
