Five Champions League-grade signings done
Real Sociedad have closed five signings at Champions League level, setting up what looks like a genuinely exciting season ahead (1). Details on the names are still under wraps, but the club has moved early and decisively in the window. With a women's side that just secured a European qualifying spot after beating Atlético Madrid 2–0, the whole club feels like it's pushing upward.
Óskarsson could go for €40M
Orri Óskarsson, your revelation striker this season, has a potential exit door opening at €40 million (2). He was one of the bright spots in a mixed campaign, praised for his clinical finishing in his debut year. Losing him would sting, but that fee would also give Sporting Director Erik Bretos serious ammunition in a market where he already has five new faces lined up. No formal bid yet, just strong interest.
Jon Martín: Spain debut, big clubs circling
Jon Martín has officially put himself on the map. The 19-year-old defender made his Spain debut this season and has top clubs tracking him (3). Aritz Elustondo, Igor Zubeldia, and Duje Caleta-Car all played roles alongside him at points, but Martín's emergence changes the conversation. With 27 players locked in through 2029 or beyond, the club has a core to build around, and Martín is right at its center.
