Real Sociedad to take Diego Reyes on loan from Porto

Real Sociedad have secured an agreement in principle to take 22-year-old Mexico centre back Diego Reyes on loan from Porto for the 2015-16 season pending a medical, the La Liga club said on Tuesday.

"The deal, which does not include a purchase option, depends on the signing of the player's contract and the necessary medical tests once he has ended his participation at the Gold Cup," Sociedad said on their website.

Coached by former Manchester United and Everton manager David Moyes, San SebastiÁn-based Sociedad finished 12th in La Liga last term but the Basque club are looking to strengthen their squad to help them make a push for a berth in European competition next term.
