The Spanish international has been incredibly reliable for Real Sociedad, and rumors suggest that Manchester United are planning a move to sign him.
TEAMTalk has reported exclusively that scouts from both Manchester United and Liverpool have been enthused with Normand’s play and are looking to add him to their defensive rosters.
The 26-year-old’s current deal with Sociedad has a release clause worth £43.6m (50m euros) and expires in 2026.
He made 31 starts in goal for the Txuri-Urdin last season in the Spanish La Liga, and his 15 shutouts were a big reason they qualified for the Champions League.
He was called up to the national team after a good season in the league, and he made his debut in June’s UEFA Nations League competition.
The La Furia Roja, with Robin Le Normand’s help, advanced to the final and won the game. At this point, he has made six appearances as a regular starter for the national team.

The defender has been brilliant in his first Champions League season so far, helping Sociedad to a 1-0 win over Benfica just two days ago.
Despite Erik ten Hag’s major concerns at the back, primarily owing to ongoing ιnjury problems, Liverpool has not strengthened their defense in some time and instead prioritized strengthening the middle of the field this summer.
Should Manchester United use their January option to buy Robin Le Normand for £43.6 million?

While Harry Maguire scored the game-winning goal in the second half, goalkeeper Andre Onana prevented further embarrassment by saving a penalty kιck from Jordan Larsson, a forward for Copenhagen.
