Spanish centre-back Aritz Elustondo will leave Real Sociedad after Erik Bretos, the club's director of football, informed him on May 5th that his contract would not be renewed. The 32-year-old's contract expires on June 30th. This prevents the fulfillment of a wish he had previously expressed to MARCA to be a player for only one club. He will be leaving San Sebastián for the first time since he joined the club in January 2016. Neighboring clubs Osasuna and Deportivo Alavés have been mentioned as potential destinations, along with the possibility of him joining another LaLiga team or moving abroad. The defender has one cap for Spain's U21 team. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €1.80m.
