Real Sociedad want to reinforce their squad with Nicolas de la Cruz, an attacking midfielder who is in the final stretch of his contract with River Plate. However, the price of the player could be a problem.
Real Sociedad are continuing to plan for next season. After the renewal of David Silva, there are still many names in the club's offices, and one of them is Nicolas de la Cruz. The Uruguayan's contract expires in December and he could move on after five years at River Plate.
This was reported by 'TNT Sports', which pointed out the interest of the Spaniards in the midfielder. However, there are several factors that could condition the young player's arrival at the Spanish club.
Firstly, the price. The arrival of De la Cruz could cost between 12 and 15 million euros, a high amount that would be difficult for the club to assume. Furthermore, Real already have several players who occupy the centre of the pitch.
However, the aforementioned media outlet said that his agent is already in talks with the Argentinian club, but we will have to wait and see how the transfer market evolves. It should be remembered that another objective of the club is to execute Rafinha's buyout clause, a fact that would take the player away from River.
