Real Sociedad has communicated that 23-year-old Spanish right-back Iñaki Rupérez will immediately join Sanse and will wear the number 22. Iñaki Rupérez was expected to be part of the first team last season but did not participate due to a knee injury, except for a few minutes in the last league match against Espanyol. The club has decided that the best way for him to return to his previous performance level is by getting more playing time, which he will achieve by joining Ansotegi's squad. His contract expires in June 2029 and his market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €200k.
