(Reuters) - Croatia midfielder Luka Sucic has joined Real Sociedad on a six-year deal from Austrian top-flight club RB Salzburg, the LaLiga club said on Friday.

Sucic won the Austrian Bundesliga three times during his four years at Salzburg, scoring 12 goals in his 82 league appearances. The 21-year-old made his international debut in 2021 and has played 10 matches for Croatia.

"Sucic arrived in San Sebastian yesterday and will join his new teammates for training at Zubieta this morning," Real Sociedad said in a statement.

Real Sociedad will begin their LaLiga campaign on Aug. 18 at home against Rayo Vallecano.
