The Royal Society does not forget Bryan Gil. The Tottenham winger from Barbato is an old wish of Roberto Olabe, Director of Football for the San Sebastian club, who was pleasantly surprised by his loan to Eibar after closely monitoring him in previous seasons, and last summer he was already interested in his situation. But then Tottenham put a lot of money on the table to undertake his signing and took over their services tafter paying 25 million euros plus Erik Lamela. Unaffordable figures for Real, which Later, in January of this year, he requested his transfer until the end of the season. But Bryan Gil opted for the Valencia option, thinking that he would play more. Six months later, the Cádiz-born player is still on the Txuri-urdin club’s agenda, which needs to be reinforced with a winger after Januzaj’s departure, Mikel Oyarzabal’s injury and the unknown of how Ander Barrenetxea will be facing next year after his operation.
The reality is that he is a player very much to the liking of the technical secretary of Real Sociedad. A winger who has been closely monitored and with whom a lot of contact has been maintained, so Bryan Gil knows very well the intentions of the San Sebastian club and the high esteem that their qualities are held. The Barbatian, in addition, was able to see how life is in this area, because he played six months on loan at Eibar, he did it at a very good level and he was very comfortable from a personal point of view. Real Sociedad was very close to getting his loan this past winter market. He needed a winger to complete the list of wide players due to Barrenetxea’s injury, without Mijael Oyarzabal having yet been seriously injured. The agreement with Tottenham was total, and also with the representative of the Andalusian player. But Bryan Gil playing prevailed before the sporting level that a team could offer him, and He understood that the Valencia option was more attractive, because he saw that in Real he was going to have much more competition. In the end, with Bordalás he had many minutes, but for example in the Copa del Rey final he did not start.
Six months later the tables have changed radically in the relationship between Bryan Gil and Real Sociedad. The player, who has always been attracted by the possibility of wearing Txuri-Urdin, welcomes this possibility due to the sporting level it offers him, with the participation of Real in the Europa League, and Roberto Olabe’s insistence makes him see that they really love him and that he can be an important player, Bearing in mind that Imanol Alguacil does not give minutes to anyone no matter how much technical quality you have… and if they tell Januzaj. Bryan Gil is now concentrated with the U-21 team, where he coincides with four ‘colts’ from Zubieta such as Pacheco, Olasagasti, Karrikaburu and Turrientes, whom he will surely have ‘interrogated’ for what can be found if this operation goes forward.
Afterwards, he will have vacations and will return to London, where he is scheduled to start the preseason with Tottenham. From there, The London team will begin to make decisions about their future, which all points to another loan because Antonio Conte is still on the bench. The San Sebastian club has already maintained contacts with Tottenham, whose response has been that they will have to wait until the summer progresses to make a final decision with Bryan Gil. So it’s time to wait, insist and bet on this option if you really want it. Barbate will also have to decide, because it also has other proposals on the table. His idea, if nothing changes at Tottenham, is to go back out. The formula will be another story.
