Scouting Report & Player Insights
Ander Barrenetxea is a left-footed Real Sociedad winger and academy product who likes to attack from the right and cut inside onto his favoured foot to shoot or combine. Quick, low-slung, and direct in one-on-one situations, he offers a genuine dribbling threat but has had his progress slowed by a stop-start injury record. Still a regular option in La Real's attack, he remains a homegrown talent the club has long viewed as a key part of their wide options.
Came through the Real Sociedad youth academy and made his first-team debut as a teenager.
Has represented Spain at various youth international levels.
