Aperribay makes bid for Oscarsson

One of the problems that remains for Real Sociedad with the market closing is the departure of Carlos Fernandez and the arrival of a striker. He is also looking for a central defender, but the option of Hummels has disappeared. The chosen one at the top is Icelander Orri Oscarsson. In fact, President Aperribay went in the company of football director Olabe to Copenhagen, where Oscarsson lives and plays, will put forward an offer of around 20 million. After three days in Denmark, the expedition from San Sebastian returned to Biarritz to attend a management dinner with the leader of Alava, Fernandez de Troconis.

Aperribay is making these efforts first-hand, as he did in England to close the door on Mikel Merino’s departure to Arsenal. The club are banking on the Icelander, who is just 19 years old and a sought-after player who is also on City’s radar. In any case, if this operation is not completed, Alvaro Rodriguez will be in the bedroom of the Churi-Urdín club. The Castilla striker, who has already made his debut in the main team, has a contract until 2027, although the Madrid team is ready to listen to offers. The amount under consideration is around 10 million euros.

Oscarsson scored 23 goals in 61 games for Copenhagen and played in the Champions League and Conference League. He turns 20 tomorrow and will be an Icelandic international. If his signing is confirmed, he will become the second player to come from the “land of ice and fire” after Finnbogason, who failed to live up to expectations. Oscarsson travels with Copenhagen today as they face Kilmarnock in Ireland, where they hold a 2-0 lead in the Conference League qualifying round.
