Arsenal News: Real Sociedad is making moves this summer. Their primary focus? Manchester United midfielder, Donny van de Beek and Arsenal’s defender, Kieran Tierney. As the UEFA Champions League 2023-24 season looms, Los Txuri-Urdin is in full gear, strengthening its squad.
Already, the Spanish club has made notable additions. Andre Silva and Hamari Traore are the newest faces at Anoeta Stadium. Silva arrived on a season-long loan while Traore sealed his move on a free transfer.
Now, more changes are on the horizon. Recent reports from Todofichajes reveal Sociedad’s keen interest in Van de Beek. The Dutch midfielder is eyed as a fitting replacement for the recently retired David Silva.

Real Sociedad Eyeing Moves for Manchester United player Van de Beek and Arsenal player Tierney
Van de Beek’s journey at Manchester United hasn’t been smooth. Injuries plagued his tenure at Old Trafford. Last season, he played in a mere 10 matches, sidelined for a whopping 47 games. The promising midfielder’s contract with the Red Devils runs until June 2025. However, a new chapter at Real Sociedad might be the fresh start he needs.
But, there’s a hiccup. Manchester United’s £40 million valuation for the Dutchman poses a challenge. Real Sociedad is now exploring a loan-to-buy deal, targeting a permanent move in 2024.

On the other hand, Tierney’s situation at Arsenal draws Sociedad’s attention. Imanol Alguacil, Sociedad’s head coach, is keen to capitalize on Tierney’s reduced role at the Emirates. Last season, the Scotsman played second fiddle to Oleksandr Zinchenko. Out of 36 appearances, he started only 15 times, amassing just 1458 minutes on the field.

Real Sociedad sees potential in Tierney. The club is contemplating a season-long loan for the Arsenal left-back. With three years left on his Arsenal contract, a temporary move might be in Tierney’s best interest. His experience and versatility would undeniably strengthen Sociedad’s backline. At Sociedad, he’d not only challenge Aihen Munoz for the left-back spot but also offer an option as a centre-back.
