ANDhe Athletic lives pending the result of the next elections in June, but that does not mean that some steps are not being taken in terms of planning for the next season. Among these movements, in the Basque club they are aware of the need to reinforce the position of the right back, and among the best positioned to occupy that demarcation appears the name of the Full-back for Real Sociedad B, Álex Sola.
During this season Marcelino has had to decide on the veteran of Oscar De Marcos to occupy that area. Neither Inigo Lekue neither ander cloak they have managed to consolidate themselves in a position in which the Asturian coach has had to improvise with a 33-year-old player. De Marcos has fully complied but the club is aware that it is urgent to reinforce that position with a footballer with greater projection for the immediate future.
Two goals in the last two games
And that is where the name of Álex Sola appears. The winger has become a fundamental piece of Xabi Alonso’s team and one of the main reasons for seeing how Sanse has regained hope of salvation with the last two victories against amorebieta Y Valladolid. And it is that the youth squad has scored in both games, the last with the collaboration of El Yamiq, and has offered a decisive contribution.
Absent during the first half of the season due to a meniscus injury, the defender is completing a high-level end of the season and that has activated the radar of several First teams, although Athletic seems to have taken the lead due to the possibility of a transfer .
Difficult landing in the first team
Alone, whose relationship with Real Sociedad lasts until 2024has a 50 million clause of euros. Obviously, a hypothetical transfer would be for a much lower figure, but Real are considering making money with the youth squad given that Imanol has that position well covered in the first team with Zaldua and Gorosabel.
