Brais Méndez, one of the most outstanding talents of Real Sociedad, was on the radar of West Ham as a possible reinforcement in this winter transfer market. The English club had identified the Galician midfielder as a key piece to strengthen their midfield, especially under the recommendation of the now former coach Julen Lopetegui. However, the plans of the London team have taken an unexpected turn following the recent dismissal of the Spanish coach.

Brais Méndez will not leave Real Sociedad

Lopetegui's departure has altered the priorities of West Ham's executives, who have chosen to rethink their transfer market strategy. Although Brais Méndez was a top choice, the latest information indicates that the English club has ultimately ruled out his signing. Real Sociedad, on the other hand, had been reluctant to lose one of their key players midway through the season, and this change of direction could bring them relief.

The Galician midfielder, who is in great form, has been decisive in Real Sociedad's strong performance this season. His ability to make a difference in the midfield, combined with his vision and goal-scoring prowess, has made him a sought-after player in the European scene. Despite initial interest from teams like West Ham, all signs point to Méndez remaining a crucial player for coach Imanol Alguacil.

In London, the club is working to chart a new course after Lopetegui's exit, while in San Sebastián, they celebrate the continuity of a player who is proving to be essential for the team's goals. Brais Méndez, meanwhile, remains focused on maintaining his high level of competitiveness and establishing himself as one of Real Sociedad's key figures.
