Real Sociedad evaluates strengthening full-backs with more offensive profiles Real Sociedad is considering the possibility of bringing in new full-backs for the next season, with a focus on players who can contribute more in attack. Coach Imanol Matarazzo has expressed his desire to have wing-backs who are more involved in offensive play, which could lead to both incoming and outgoing moves in this position. ## What full-backs does Real Sociedad currently have? Currently, the team has seven players who can play in the wide positions: Sergio Gómez, Aramburu, Iñaki Rupérez, Álvaro Odriozola, Jon Martín, Astiazaran, and Carrera. Gómez and Aramburu were the most used starters last season, but Matarazzo is looking to improve their offensive contribution. Rupérez, after a season lost to injury, has impressed in the preseason with his ability to reach the opponent's area. However, his main area for improvement remains defense. Odriozola, meanwhile, is recovering from a serious knee injury and is not expected to return until the end of the year. ## Why is Real Sociedad looking for more offensive full-backs? The importance of full-backs in modern football has grown, especially for teams that face opponents who defend deep. A clear example was Pedro Porro's role in the last World Cup, where his two goals were decisive. Real Sociedad, which frequently finds itself in this situation, is looking for full-backs who can make a difference in attack. ## What could happen in the transfer market? Although the club's priority remains the search for a left-footed center-back and a striker, moves in the full-back positions are not ruled out. The sporting director is evaluating options for both right and left full-backs, which could involve some players leaving to balance the squad.
