Wesley’s Spanish Detour: Al Nassr Star Heads to Real Sociedad on Loan
31 January 2026
Loan to Real Sociedad
The Brazilian Wesley, formerly of Al Nassr, appeared in Real Sociedad's kit after finalizing the move.
Background and Buyout
Al Nassr announced on Saturday that he will be loaned to Real Sociedad until the end of the season, with an option for the Spanish club to sign him permanently.
The Saudi club wished the Brazilian good luck in his upcoming stint with the Spanish side.
Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano posted a photo of Wesley with his agents at Real Sociedad's stadium, alongside the shirt bearing his name and the number 22.
Earlier reports had revealed that Wesley would join Real Sociedad on loan until the end of the season, with a buyout clause set at 12 million euros.
Wesley joined Al Nassr from Corinthians in summer 2024, going on to feature in 40 matches for the club, scoring five goals and providing five assists.
The loan runs until the end of the season, with potential for a permanent move if performances justify it.
Real Sociedad will now assess how best to integrate him as they chase domestic and European ambitions.
For Wesley, the move marks a fresh challenge and a chance to showcase his talents on La Liga's stage.
Punchline 1: Aim small, shoot big—this loan is a season-long sniper scope for glory.
Punchline 2: If he shines in San Sebastián, Real Sociedad might sign him; if not, at least the rent on those jersey numbers was paid in euros.
