Real Sociedad will be PSG’s opponent in the round of 16 of the Champions League. An unprecedented shock, but above all, a draw that is a priori more than affordable for Luis Enrique’s team, which drew the least experienced team at this level among those in the first hat. Especially since at the moment, the Basque team is going through an obvious zone of turbulence and is struggling to string together good results. Will it be the same in February? We’ll know soon…
In the meantime, the daily A.S. reveals a bit of surprising information. Indeed, Real Sociedad has just parted ways with Mohamed Ali-Cho, who returned to France to relaunch with OGC Nice. The club from northern Spain therefore began looking for a replacement. The Basques should also have a relatively substantial budget to replace the French hope, who was not really in coach Imanol Alguacil’s plans.
A return to La Liga to get back on track?
According to the Spanish newspaper, the San Sebastian club is thinking, for example, of former Parisian Pablo Sarabia (Wolves), Andreas Skov-Olsen (Bruges), Pablo Fornals (West Ham)… but also Marco Asensio! The former Real Madrid player, who arrived in Paris free of any contract, would be in the sights of the Basque club. He was thus proposed to the La Liga team, which therefore plans to go on the attack for the 27-year-old attacking midfielder.
A strange information at first glance but which can make sense, insofar as Asensio is now seen as a replacement for Luis Enrique since his return from injury which kept him away from the field for more than two months. Since his return against Newcastle on November 28, he has played 7 matches, only starting in one of them, against Revel in the Cup this weekend. A difficult situation for a player who aspires in particular to play Euro 2024 with his selection. Of course, PSG will have the last word in this matter, the player being under contract until 2026. To be continued…
