Alexander Isak's time as a Real Sociedad player is now over. The Basque club accepted a huge offer from Newcastle, making the striker the most expensive sale in theirhistory, far and away the second most expensive one.
Once this deal has been confirmed, the objective is now focused on finding a striker capable of filling the void left by the Swede. It will not be easy, as his influence in attack was crucial.
"The club is ready, the board knows what the market situation is, we also have to see what the salary limit is to be able to bring in players and how we can face the next week. There will be one or more signings depending on whether, structurally, we are convinced that the solutions we bring in will contribute to the future of Real", said Jokin Aperribay, the Basque club president.
Ayoze Perez has been one of the latest names to emerge. The Tenerife striker is not enjoying too much playing time at Leicester, and would welcome a return to Spain.
The fact that his contract with the Foxes expires in 2023 could facilitate the deal. The aforementioned media has not mentioned the amount, although this would not be a problem for Real Sociedad, who now have an economic margin rarely seen in their history.
