Real Madrid Expresses Interest in Acquiring the Captain of a Rival Team

Real Madrid Eyes Versatile Star Mikel Oyarzabal to Bolster Squad Depth

Real Madrid fans are acutely aware of the importance of squad depth, given past seasons’ struggles due to injuries and fatigue. The club’s fantastic start to the current campaign has reinforced the need to strengthen the squad to avoid a similar scenario in the future.

One area that requires bolstering is the forward positions, and it appears that Real Madrid has set their sights on a versatile Spanish international to address this issue.

According to reports from Defensa Central (via The Hard Tackle), Real Madrid is keen on signing Mikel Oyarzabal, the current captain of Real Sociedad. Oyarzabal, at 26 years old, is one of La Liga’s standout players and a Spanish international, making him an attractive target for Los Blancos.

Oyarzabal’s versatility adds to his appeal, as he can excel on both flanks and as a center-forward. Real Madrid’s lack of depth in all three positions could make Oyarzabal a valuable addition, essentially equating to three signings in one.

While acquiring the Real Sociedad captain won’t be an easy task, as he recently extended his contract until the summer of 2028, Real Madrid is seemingly committed to pursuing this talented player to reinforce their squad depth.
