Caleta-Car becomes Real Sociedad's first signing of summer
Madrid, Aug 2 (UNI) Real Sociedad has made its first signing ahead of the new La Liga season with the arrival of Croatian defender Duje Caleta-Car. The 28-year-old arrives in San Sebastian on a season's loan from Olympique Lyon, with Real Sociedad having the option to make the move permanent at the end of the season. Caleta-Car will help cover for the loss of Moroccan international Nayef Aguerd, who returned to West Ham after his loan deal expired at the end of last season. Apart from returning loanees, such as Umar Sadiq and Jon Karrikaburu, Caleta-Car is the first player to arrive at Real Sociedad after a summer which also saw coach Imanol Alguacil leave the club after six and a half seasons in charge, while Spain international midfielder Martin Zubimendi joined Arsenal in a big-money transfer. Former B-team coach Sergio Francisco was named as Imanol's successor before the end of last season, while the club is still looking to sign a midfielder and a forward before starting the new La Liga season away to Valencia on August 16.
