Carlos Soler Set to Join Real Sociedad From PSG

Carlos Soler is returning to LaLiga. Real Sociedad and Paris Saint-Germain are finalizing a deal for the Spanish midfielder. It’s an initial loan, with Real Sociedad covering most of Soler’s salary. They have an option to make the transfer permanent in 2026. A report confirmed that Carlos Soler is close to joining Real Sociedad from Paris Saint-Germain.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Real Sociedad have agreed to sign Carlos Soler from PSG after long talks. The 28-year-old, who was on loan at West Ham last season, struggled to get playing time in Paris and made only 10 league appearances with no goals or assists. According to reports, PSG does not see Carlos Soler in their future plans, which facilitated this move. Soler will join Real Sociedad on loan, with the Spanish club paying most of his wages until 2026. The deal includes a buy option. Both sides think there’s a strong chance the transfer will become permanent.

WHY THIS MOVE MATTERS

Soler’s transfer comes at an important time for both teams. Real Sociedad finished eleventh in LaLiga last season but aims to break into the top four this year and add depth for domestic and international challenges. They want to strengthen their midfield with experienced players after missing out on European qualification on goal difference. Soler’s creativity and passing made him a standout at Valencia before moving to PSG in 2022. At West Ham last season, he played 27 Premier League games, scored twice, and assisted three times before returning to France. His skills and top-flight experience could help Sociedad catch up with the teams fighting for European spots, and with better starts than La Real’s two draws in two matches so far this season.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR SOLER AND REAL SOCIEDAD?

Real Sociedad’s next match is against Real Oviedo in LaLiga. It’s an important game between two lower half teams separated by just two points. Fans hope Soler can adapt quickly and add creativity. If he plays well, Real Sociedad will likely trigger the buy option in 2026, securing him for the long term. Meanwhile, PSG continues reshaping its midfield as they do not see Soler in their future plans.
