Real Sociedad has set its sights on recruiting Malian international midfielder Lassana Coulibaly. Reports suggest that the Spanish club, vying for a spot in the prestigious UEFA Champions League, is actively exploring the prospect of adding Coulibaly to their roster.
The La Liga side has been grappling with the absence of several pivotal players due to injuries, including Farnādez, Tierney, Oyarabal, Becker, Martin, Ahein Munõz, and other critical acquisitions.
Real Sociedad perceives Lassana Coulibaly as a potential solution to fill the void left by these unfortunate setbacks.
While Coulibaly is currently under contract with the Italian club Salernitana until June 30, 2026, Real Sociedad is reportedly open to initiating discussions with the talented midfielder, a former standout at the Korofina Sports Association (ASKO).
During the recently concluded AFCON 2023, Lassana Coulibaly played a pivotal role in the tactical system devised by Mali’s national coach, Éric Sékou Chelle.
His departure from the competition left a noticeable gap in Salernitana’s lineup.
Negotiations for Coulibaly’s transfer may present a viable opportunity for Real Sociedad, and if successful, the Malian midfielder, also known as “Flani,” could potentially reunite with compatriot Hamari Traoré.
Traoré, the captain of the Eagles of Mali, joined Real Sociedad earlier in the current season from Stade Rennais.
While Real Sociedad pursues this potential acquisition, it’s worth noting that other European clubs have reportedly expressed interest in Lassana Coulibaly.
The Gunners, led by Spanish coach Mikel Arteta, are among the clubs mentioned in the mix, indicating a competitive market for the talented midfielder’s services.
The unfolding transfer saga promises intrigue and potential changes for both Coulibaly and Real Sociedad.
