Oyarzabal shines at World Cup, remains Real Sociedad’s heart

Spain’s forward Mikel Oyarzabal netted four goals at the World Cup, placing him just behind Messi, Mbappé, Haaland and Kane in the tournament’s scoring list. His breakout performance has attracted interest from Europe’s top clubs, many ready to meet his release clause.

Despite the lucrative offers, the Real Sociedad prodigy chose to remain loyal to the Txuriurdin colors and continue leading the project. Coach Luis de la Fuente praised Oyarzabal’s impact on the squad’s morale.
