Real Sociedad probes Pino as LaLiga return looms this summer

Yeremy Pino, the 23‑year‑old Canary winger contracted with Crystal Palace until 2030, is openly considering a move back to LaLiga after his first Premier League season, and Real Sociedad have already approached the English club to discuss his situation officially.

Real Sociedad makes the enquiry

Real Sociedad have asked Crystal Palace about the situation of Yeremy Pino, confirming that after his first course in England he does not close the door to a return to Spain. The sondeo arrives while Erik Bretos is still working to complete the attack of Pellegrino Matarazzo, a week before the Liga starts.

Pino fits a wider recruitment plan

The interest in Pino adds to the open management of an offer to Germán Valera, the Elche CF winger to whom Real have already presented a formal proposal. Bretos has marked a winger of guarantees as a pending piece for the four competitions this season, and Pino could slot on either flank, a flexibility valued by Zubieta.

Pino, born in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria 23 years ago, is a right‑footed winger able to play on the left wing, as an attacking midfielder or even as a centre‑forward. His versatility would give depth to a front line where Take Kubo and Ander Barrenetxea share the right side and Gonçalo Guedes remains limited by his physical recovery on the left.

He became undisputed at Villarreal after breaking into the first team in 2021, holding his place until his move to Crystal Palace in the summer of 2025 for about 30 million euros. He signed until June 2030, wears the number 10 at Selhurst Park, won the Conference League in his first season and represented Spain up to lifting the World Cup 2026.

A change of environment depends on Crystal Palace’s willingness to listen to offers and the economic margin Real reserves after closing the Valera operation. For now, the query opens another route for a Txuri Urdin attack that needs reinforcement before the market closes on 1 September.

The original Periodista Deportivo report, dated 15 August 2026 at 16:30, includes the header words Compartir and Periodista Deportivo, and even mentions El Premier League in England (Inglaterra) and Spain (España) as the broader context of Pino’s career.
