Chelsea and Manchester United have been monitoring Real Sociedad's 24-year-old Spanish winger Ander Barrenetxea this season. Both clubs view him as suitable for their projects for the upcoming year and would not have any economic difficulties in funding a significant transfer. Barrenetxea, who joined Real Sociedad in July 2019, has a contract that runs until 2030. Real Sociedad has a recent history of completing major sales to the Premier League, having established connections with English clubs.
