Many outlets from the Spanish press have been covering Barcelona’s attempt to sign Willian José from Real Sociedad.
Following Ousmane Dembele’s injury, the Catalan side are waiting for permission from La Liga to replace him with a striker.
El Desmarque is one of the outlets bringing updates, and they say the mood at Real Sociedad is still a little tense due to the Brazilian’s wish to move to Tottenham Hotspur in January.
The club’s board is grew ‘tired’ of Willian José’s attitude since the failed transfer, and won’t let him leave for a cheap price.
However, it’s also said Willian José knows the impact of his pressing for the Tottenham move, and has ‘changed his attitude’. He’s been forgiven by fans and is now calm, waiting for what may happen in the future.
Real Sociedad manager Imanol Aguacil has told the board he can’t lose the striker before the end of the season, but there’s every chance Real Sociedad could sell him to Barcelona anyway.
