The Norwegian attacker has stood out this season scoring 8 goals in 15 Santander League games, but his future as a txuri-urdin looks very complicated at the moment
After a disappointing first season, Imanol Alguacil once again trusted a striker who aims to be a world star. We are talking about Sorlothwho after a year in the shadow of Isak in the Real society, you have found your site. He has done so, in part, thanks to the withdrawal of Umar Sadiq, who suffered a significant knee injury a few days after arriving in San Sebastián.
The loss of the Nigerian attacker has been perfectly taken advantage of by the Norwegian footballer, who has become one of the top scorers in the Santander League. However, his future in the team is not guaranteed, as he is on loan without a purchase option. That’s why the Real society has begun to scour the market for other cheaper strikers than Sorloth.
Sorloth, increasingly far from Real Sociedad
As the season progresses and his level does not drop, the future of Sorloth and the San Sebastian team is further away. The footballer continues to be owned by RB Leipzig and no purchase option was included in his loan agreement. Something that was a mistake on the part of Real Sociedad, which did not expect an explosion at this level.
His current market value is 10 million euros, but with a contract until 2025, the German team will ask for a higher amount for his transfer. Especially considering that just two and a half years ago they paid 20 million euros for his transfer. In this way, the operation could be around an approximate figure of 15 million.
The African wonder followed by Real Sociedad
Being clear that they will not reach such an amount after having made a important financial outlay by Umar Sadiq Last summer, the San Sebastian team was searching the market in search of a striker with similar characteristics. And they have been interested in another African player who is sweeping the Belgian league.
Like Sorloth, the striker who is following the Real society He also stands out for his physique. We are talking about Paul Onuachu, who is over 2 meters tall. This year, in the ranks of KRC Genk, he has scored 16 goals in 19 games, so many teams are following his steps. Among them the txuri-urdin team, which is determined to make an offer of 15 million euros next summer for a player whose contract ends in 2024.
