Venezuelan full-back Jon Aramburu has emerged as a serious scouting target for several Premier League giants. Liverpool and Manchester City are the latest clubs to conduct detailed checks on the Real Sociedad defender, whose defensive reliability and versatility are highly rated.
Aramburu, a 24-year-old Venezuela international, has established himself as one of La Liga's most promising full-backs. His ability to play on both the right and left flank, combined with a defensive solidity that sees him described as "very much a defender first", has drawn attention. Scout reports highlight his proficiency in one-on-one situations and his composure in supporting attacks when required.
Growing Premier League attention
A number of English clubs have increased their monitoring of the player this year. Alongside Liverpool and City, Tottenham, Newcastle United, Everton and Fulham all looked at Aramburu during the summer window. According to TeamTalk, the feedback that has reached Liverpool on the defender has been termed "hugely positive". While Liverpool assess the right-back market, the reigning champions have also carried out their own checks on the player.
Aramburu's release clause, understood to be around £50 million, sets the entry point for any serious move. With a contract running until 2030, Real Sociedad hold significant leverage in any potential negotiation. This scenario means that if a club does decide to act, the battle may centre more on timing, the player's projected role, and the sporting project than on haggling over the fee.
Real Sociedad's current standing
This external interest comes as Real Sociedad sit 8th in La Liga, with 10 points from their opening seven games. The team, fresh from a 2-3 away win at Valencia, now prepare to host Deportivo La Coruna at Anoeta on October 11th.
Aramburu's path shows a steady development. His profile as a young, athletic defender proven in Spanish football aligns with what Premier League clubs seek. The present situation is one of strong awareness. The market is beginning to stir around the full-back, whose next outing will be against Deportivo in a direct clash for European positions.
