Real Sociedad will demand €40 million to sell 27-year-old centre-back Robin Le Normand, a target for Real Madrid and Manchester United.
According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Robin Le Normand is gaining popularity in the market. Manchester United and Real Madrid are keen on signing the 27-year-old centre-back. Meanwhile, Real Sociedad will demand around €40 million to part ways with the in-demand defender.
Robin Le Normand has come leaps and bounds since joining Real Sociedad from Brest in July 2019. The Pabu native spent his formative years in the nation of his birth but rose in prominence after moving to Spain. Since then, he has established himself as one of the best defenders in La Liga.
The 27-year-old had to bide his time before establishing a foothold on the international stage, with Spain handing him his break. Meanwhile, Le Normand has turned out nearly 200 times thus far for La Real, chipping in with five goals and six assists. Meanwhile, the player’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of many high-profile clubs.
Reports this year have linked the Real Sociedad centre-back with many Premier League bigwigs, with Manchester United recently joining the race to sign him. As for interest from Spain, Robin Le Norman has captured the attention of La Liga heavyweights Real Madrid.
Manchester United might part ways with Raphael Varane next year amid uncertainties surrounding the Frenchman’s future. In addition, Victor Lindelof might also depart from Old Trafford next year. So, it behoves Manchester United to invest in a centre-back, with Le Normand emerging as a target.
As for Real Madrid, Los Blancos will likely delve into the market for a centre-back next year. David Alaba and Antonio Rudiger are on the wrong side of 30. Meanwhile, Nacho is in the final year of his contract and might leave next year. Le Normand is thus a viable target for Real Madrid. Meanwhile, the report claims that Real Sociedad will demand around €40 million to sell him.
