Paris and Real Sociedad do not have as their only point in common a double confrontation in the Champions League, the second round of which takes place this Tuesday March 5.
There are obviously players who have played for both clubs (Lionel Potillon, Boukary Dramé or Mikel Arteta) and even more so a young member of the Basque training center born in the French capital.
Born in Paris, Hugo Fernandez-Muret, 16, played in recent years with the Sociedad youth teams, of which he was captain.
Followed by several French formations including Lyon, which has taken some information, the young Franco-Spanish defender, capable of playing on the right and left in the axis, will leave the Basque Country to join Valencia.
Followed by the French and Spanish federations
On the east coast of the peninsula, he will commit for three years plus two other easily accessible options.
Or a 5 year contract.
Real Sociedad tried to retain the boy who wanted to settle in a club which offered him the possibility of continuing his studies in an international school and having a sporting project which seemed clearer to him.

Hugo Fernandez-Muret is also followed by the French and Spanish federations, his two countries of origin, in order to potentially be called up to the youth selection.
He has also received a pre-summons notice from La Roja and is being observed by the FFF which has obtained some information in recent months.
