Real Sociedad have on Monday closed a late-window deal for a member of the midfield ranks at La Liga rivals Girona.
The player in question? Yangel Herrera.
The name of midfielder Yangel had emerged as an altogether prominent one in the media chatter surrounding Real Sociedad over the last couple of weeks.
This came after word was forthcoming that, amid a search for reinforcements in the middle of the park, the brass at Anoeta had set their sights firmly on the signature of the 27-year-old.
Talks, in turn, had long been kicked into gear with Girona over the terms of a deal.
And as alluded to above, just hours out from the transfer deadline, such endeavours have borne fruit for La Real.
As per a statement across Sociedad’s website and social media platforms:
‘Real Sociedad and Girona FC have reached an agreement for the transfer of Yangel Herrera to the blue and white club. The Gipuzkoa club has also reached an agreement with the Venezuelan footballer until the end of the 2029-2030 season.’
