Real Sociedad will trigger the €18m release clause of Sevilla midfielder Pablo Sarabia this summer, according to a report in Marca.
The 26-year-old has netted 22 goals in 101 appearances for the Andalusian club since joining from Getafe in a €1m deal back in 2016.
Marca say La Real president Jokin Aperribay is said to be aware of growing interest in the midfielder and wants to complete the operation as soon as possible.
Carlos Vela, Sergio Canales and Xabi Prieto have all left the Basque club this summer, leaving them short in attacking position and Sarabia’s invention could provide a much-needed boost.
