Robin Le Normand why does he want to play for

The French defender of Real Sociedad would be close to obtaining Spanish nationality which would direct him to the selection of La Roja.

Robin Le Normand continues to perform with his club Real Sociedad. An indisputable starter, he is a pivotal player for the Spanish club with which he started his fifth season. His performances could have opened the doors to the French team that he wishes to represent one day. In 2021, in an interview with Eurosport, he confessed that “it would be a pride to be part of it. I work hard for that”, he then admitted.

Since then there has been Football World Cup in Qatar in 2022 and Robin Le Normand expected to be called up. “My non-convocation for the 2022 World Cup? It was hard. Especially after the injury of Presnel Kimpembe. Obviously you think about it because I was coming out of a season where I had done things well”, he explained in February 2023. The player always keeps “the selection as a goal”. But Robin Le Normand will not be able to carry -never be the tricolor jersey. He could, however, put on the Roja jersey. He would be on the verge of obtaining Spanish nationality. “For my part, all the papers are done”, he explained in a interview at Movistar+. “Where was I trained? Where did I realize my childhood dream? It’s here, in Spain”, he tried to justify himself.

Born in Brittany in Pabu on November 11, 1996, the Frenchman started football in the West of France. The native of Bréhand in the Côtes-d’Armor started at Evron Football Club. He continued his career at Lamballe FC before being recruited by Stade Brestois at the age of 15. He evolved in each category to finally obtain a professional contract with Brest. Eric Olhats, a Spanish recruiter, had spotted him and presented him with the idea of ​​joining Real Sociedad in 2016. First in the B team, the player was finally aligned with the first team during the 2018-2019 season. He established himself as a central defender and he participates in the success of his team every weekend.

The Le Normand siblings could one day face each other if Real Sociedad face Guingamp. Robin is the eldest and his little brother Theo is therefore playing at Guingamp.

The native of Pabu would have at Real Sociedad according to Foot Mercato a salary of approximately €71,000 per month.
