The txuri-urdin team manages alternatives to the Brazilian midfielder
Rafinha is one of the many candidates who manages the Real society to strengthen your squad. In his favor, he says that he already knows what it’s like to play under the orders of the Sheriff, since he was at the club since the winter market. Now looking to get hold of the footballer in property, although there are several factors that make the operation difficult. And it is that his high salary and the claims of PSG are practically unattainable for Real Sociedad.
In this situation, Real Sociedad has begun to look for alternatives in the transfer market. Now, after the latest market movements, we have found out who is one of the players that sports management likes the most of the San Sebastian complex. A footballer who, between counts in his favor with his experience in the Santander League, as he passed through the ranks of Atlético de Madrid.
The alternative to Rafinha that Real Sociedad likes
This footballer is none other than Lucas Torreira, a Uruguayan footballer who has played this last season in the ranks of Fiorentina. In the Italian team he has returned to perform at a good level, but to his own surprise they will not exercise the purchase option that was stipulated in his loan contract. That is why the player will return to Arsenal, where he does not count for Arteta.
The Spanish coach is clear that the Uruguayan footballer has no place in the squad, since he is not a footballer with the characteristics that he likes. That is why this summer they will work to find a new outlet for it. But this time they will seek to get rid of him permanently, because they do not want to give him up again, because they want to obtain something in exchange for the transfer of him.
The factor that plays in favor of Real Sociedad
As we have learned, the 26-year-old footballer has a contract with Arsenal until June 2023. In this way, he will enter the last year of his contract and they know that it is the last opportunity to sell him before he leaves for free next summer. That is why the interested clubs will be able to negotiate downwards with the Gunners, who have decided to transfer Lucas Torreira.
For his part, Lucas Torreira would not look badly on returning to the Santander League despite the fact that he hardly had any chances at Atlético de Madrid. At Real Sociedad he would be the perfect complement for players with a very good touch on the ball like Zubimendi or Mikel Merino, so he is an option that is on the table. But at the moment there is no concrete offer from Real Sociedad.
