Real Sociedad, one of the emblematic clubs of the Spanish League, is considering the possibility of re-signing Carlos Vela, an old acquaintance of Txuri Urdin fans. The 34-year-old Mexican striker is currently without a team after ending his relationship with Los Angeles FC in the MLS, and his desire to return to San Sebastián is evident.
Carlos Vela left an indelible mark on Real Sociedad during his first spell at the club between 2011 and 2018. During this time he became one of the team's best scorers and was a reference in attack. His ability to unbalance opposing defenses and score spectacular goals earned him the affection of Basque fans.

Now Vela is keen to wear the Real Sociedad shirt again and has publicly expressed his desire for negotiations to reach a successful conclusion. The Mexican player believes he still has a lot to give in top-level football and sees Real Sociedad as the perfect opportunity to show it.
The aim is to strengthen the attack
Real Sociedad's interest in Carlos Vela is based on the experience and quality the player can bring to the team. Despite his age, Vela retains his ability to balance and his instinct for goals. His return to the club could strengthen the Basques' attack and give them an additional option in the fight for European places.
