Real Sociedad closes the signing of Take Kubo's replacement

Real Sociedad

Real Sociedad is finalizing the signing of Wesley Gassova Ribeiro to strengthen their attack following Take Kubo's injury. The club has chosen the Brazilian winger as an immediate solution, aiming for him to contribute from the outset. The move involves a loan with a purchase option.

The operation being prepared by Real Sociedad is structured as a loan with a purchase option, with the goal of having the player adapt and immediately contribute to the team from San Sebastián. Wesley Gassova, a 20-year-old player, right-footed and powerful, can play on both wings. In recent months, his performance has declined, but the player wanted to leave and make the leap to Europe.

Profile and context of the operation

Wesley Gassova belongs to Al-Nassr FC, Cristiano Ronaldo's team, which paid 18 million euros to Corinthians in August 2024. The plan is to secure the winger's arrival through a loan with a purchase option. If the adaptation is positive at Real Sociedad and Kubo's departure is confirmed after the World Cup, the idea is to complete the purchase in the summer. In other words, it is a future investment with immediate performance.
