It has been clear for weeks that Sheraldo Becke will almost certainly leave Union Berlin in 2024. It was questionable whether the Köpenick team would collect a transfer fee for their most valuable player whose contract was expiring in the winter or whether it would result in a free exit in the summer. From Spain you can now read about progressing negotiations about a winter transfer.
After FC Villarreal initially tried to get the 28-year-old attacker, Real Sociedad now seems to have taken pole position. The daily newspaper “ASAccording to him, there is even an agreement with the player about a move in January and the contract has been negotiated. The transfer fee therefore amounts to around 5 million euros. Also the club-affiliated newspaper “Noticias de Gipuzkoa” as well as the “Mundo Sports“ reported an impending agreement.

At “La Real”, Becker is to succeed talented Mohamed-Ali Cho (19), who left the sixth-placed LaLiga last week for OGC Nice. According to reports, the decision in favor of Sociedad and against Villarreal has to do with the fact that the “Yellow Submarine” had primarily insisted on a free transfer in the summer.
Union Berlin receives a transfer fee for Becker: among the most expensive and valuable departures
For Union, the immediate departure of Becker, who was no longer in the squad under new coach Nenad Bjelica, means important income. The capital club has only received a transfer fee of more than 5 million euros six times, most recently in January 2023 for Julian Ryerson (26; BVB). At the time of his departure, only Taiwo Awoniyi (26; Nottingham) was more valuable than the Suriname national player in the summer of 2022 (statistics).

After 140 games with 50 goals, Becker is one of the most loyal players in the current squad. Only captain Christopher Trimmel (36) and substitute keeper Jakob Busk (30) were in the Köpenick squad alongside the attacker in all five Bundesliga seasons. With his market value of 12 million euros, he is one of the most valuable Bundesliga professionals with a contract expiring in 2024.
