Real Sociedad face pivotal week of transfer moves | OneFootball

According to AS, Real Sociedad enter a decisive week in the transfer market, closing in on Nayef Aguerd while weighing offers for Javi López.

Talks with Olympique de Marsella focus on the final structure, specifically whether a loan will carry an obligatory or conditional option to buy. That remains the last hurdle before the Moroccan defender has a medical and starts work under Pellegrino Matarazzo.

On exits, the left back has concrete interest from Feyenoord and Sporting de Portugal, so a departure could come in the next few days after a pre-season that has not convinced the coach. Javi López joined in summer 2024 from Deportivo Alavés for 6.5 million.

A new loan is also on the table for Mikel Goti, who is seeking regular minutes and has no shortage of suitors.

Jon Balda is another candidate for a temporary move, though a decision may take a few more days. With the window open until 31 August, the club prefer not to rush the choice of destination.

On the pitch, Mikel Oyarzabal returns to training at Zubieta from Monday after the World Cup, ready to lead the attack in the final phase of preparation.

Gonçalo Guedes will also rejoin the group this week after a personal procedure. He is set to be available to Matarazzo for Saturday’s friendly against Xabi Alonso’s Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, the final summer test in London before La Liga begins.
