The movements in the transfer market continue and Real Sociedad are determined to strengthen their left-back. Although Arsenal’s Kieran Tierney was the target for several weeks, the injury to Jurrien Timber has changed the Txuri-Urdin side’s plans and now a new name is at the center of their conversations: Sergio Reguilón.
Dutch defender Timber’s recent injury had an indirect impact on Real Sociedad’s plans. The indefinite pause in Arsenal’s ‘exit operation’ has prompted a reassessment of Kieran Tierney’s situation at the English club. What initially seemed like a safe way out could now become a permanent solution.
Real Sociedad are pushing for the signing of their left-back
Faced with this scenario, Real Sociedad have changed course and turned their attention to Sergio Reguilón. Although this name was already ringing out in the txuri-urdin team at the end of July, it is gaining new momentum amid the current circumstances. Negotiations with Arsenal over Tierney, which appeared to be heading towards an agreement, have been put on hold.
Relevo have reported that Real Sociedad are considering the possibility of loaning out Sergio Reguilón. The Madrid winger is in a position Tottenham don’t have him in, which could open the door for a new spell. However, one question remains about the London team’s plans: will they opt to loan him out again or will they try to negotiate his sale as his contract expires in 2025?
Real Sociedad are looking into the market for solutions to strengthen their squad ahead of the season. Unexpected changes, such as Timber’s injury and the hiatus in Arsenal’s exit operation, have resulted in a reversal in the Basque side’s plans. Signing Sergio Reguilón could be an interesting alternative and the next movements in the market will show if this option finally becomes a reality.
