Aston Villa and Emery target a Real Sociedad player

Unai Emery has reportedly asked Aston Villa to pursue a Real Sociedad player this summer, according to a Spanish outlet (1). The identity of the target has not been disclosed, but any approach from Villa would test la Real's resolve during a window already shaped by significant turnover. With Orri Óskarsson potentially heading for a €40 million exit and the squad still adjusting under Pellegrino Matarazzo, losing another key figure would deepen the sense of transition at Anoeta. For now, the report adds an unwelcome layer of uncertainty as the club prepares for pre-season.
