A complicated situation
Real Sociedad are facing one of the most challenging and complicated summers they have experienced in a long time. The Basque club could lose some of their key figures, who are considering the possibility of leaving to continue competing in the Champions League. Although they have managed to play in this competition this season, they will not be able to do so next season. Coach Imanol Alguacil assumes it will be impossible to retain all the important players, but expects only one significant departure.
Players in danger
The problem is that there are many candidates to leave, and among the players who are already on the verge of leaving Donosti are Mikel Merino, Martín Zubimendi and Takefusa Kubo, who are already in talks with other teams. Another player who also has several options to leave is Robin Le Normand, who has become one of the best defenders in La Liga. His excellent performance has attracted the attention of the Spanish Football Federation, which has expedited the process of nationalization so that he can play with the Spanish national team.
The interest of Atlético de Madrid
The French defender has been linked with several teams, but Atlético de Madrid seems to be the club most interested in signing him. Manager Diego Pablo Simeone wants to strengthen the defense and Le Normand is one of the names high on his list.
The interest of the Premier League
The Premier League is also interested in signing Le Normand. Clubs such as Newcastle United, Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur and Brighton & Hove Albion are closely monitoring the 27-year-old’s situation.
The future of the Royal Society
Imanol Alguacil is already thinking about possible replacements for the players who could leave. It will be a complicated summer for the Basque club, but they are ready to face the challenges that come their way.
