Transfer targets15 Jan 2029

Adu Ares due for a Real Sociedad medical

Everything agreed with Eibar, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Market15 Jan 2029

Real Sociedad sign Morten Hjulmand for $22.5M

The paperwork is done: Morten Hjulmand joins from Atlético Madrid in a deal worth $22.5M. Now comes the harder part.

Market15 Jan 2029

Real Sociedad sell Mikel Oyarzábal for $35.1M

Mikel Oyarzábal has left for Real Madrid in a $35.1M deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Market15 Jan 2029

The scouts were sure about Aurélien Tchouaméni, and Real Sociedad believed them

Recruitment departments spend most of their lives being politely ignored. Not this time: 52 per cent confidence on the report, a signature on the contract, and Aurélien Tchouaméni through the door at Real Sociedad.

Squad15 Jan 2029

A move Morten Hjulmand would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Morten Hjulmand is living that version at Real Sociedad, and it tends to show in the first month.

Match13 Jan 2029

The run at home goes on for Real Sociedad

13 matches unbeaten here. Every visiting manager is asked about it in the week before, which is precisely why it keeps going.

Business is business: Iñaki Rupérez goes

Betis paid $5.2M and Real Sociedad took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.

Squad15 Jan 2029

Aurélien Tchouaméni in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Real Sociedad this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Too dear: Real Sociedad walk away from Alejandro Iturbe

$1.2M was the most the club would pay and Elche were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

Market21 Aug 2028

Terms done: Yangel Herrera is going

Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Alcorcón waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Real Sociedad is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

Transfer targets21 Aug 2028

Real Sociedad bid $43.2M for Dani Lorenzo

The offer went to Málaga this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Market21 Aug 2028

Real Sociedad turn down Olympique de Marseille for Mikel Oyarzábal

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

The dugout21 Aug 2028

Beñat Turrientes: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Real Sociedad have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Player ratings21 Aug 2028

Beñat Turrientes goes up and wins it — 7.92

A defender on the scoresheet, which happens rarely enough that everybody in the ground remembers who took the corner. 1 for him, and a mark of 7.92 for the rest of it.

Boardroom21 Aug 2028

Real Sociedad go back to the board over Dani Lorenzo

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $46.0M — a club that wants Dani Lorenzo enough to be asked twice.

Boardroom21 Aug 2028

Jorge Vidal signs on for the long haul

Real Sociedad moved before anybody else could: a new deal for Jorge Vidal, agreed quietly and announced loudly. Boards extend managers for many reasons; the good one is the one this looks like.

Transfer targets21 Aug 2028

Real Sociedad make their move for Juan Carlos

$76.0K on the table at Girona. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Boardroom21 Aug 2028

5 academy graduates step up at Real Sociedad

Senior shirt numbers handed to boys the coaches have known since they were twelve. Most will not make it and all of them have already done the hard part.
