The Real society I was hoping at this point in the season to have made further progress in the negotiations for Jon Guridi and Adnan Januzaj. But the truth is that conversations go slower than desired, although that does not mean that they are going through some kind of difficulty. Really, there is no problem and in the San Sebastian club they are moderately optimistic in which an agreement is reached, especially with the first one. Both end their contract in 2022 and there is still time until the end of this season to reach an agreement to extend their contracts, as is the desire of the Real society.
In recent days they have wanted to link the disappearance of Guridi's line-ups with a possible problem in their renewal, slipping that the Azpeitiarra could have been refusing to renew, a totally false extreme, because neither of the two situations have any kind of connection. Guridi has not played more regularly in the last month due to a strictly technical issue, a decision of Imanol Sheriff, who has opted for other types of footballers. And in parallel, its renewal has been discussed with its agents, the group IDUB, advancing in the different points more slowly than expected in the Real. But they understand that it is not about anything that has no solution and they hope to be able to close a deal before the end of this season. There is moderate optimism. It has also been speculated that Guridi's possible refusal to renew was because he could have a proposal from Athletic, an extreme also totally false, because neither the Azpeitiarra has said that he does not want to extend his contract, nor has there been any contact from his environment with people related to the rojiblanco club.
More complex seems the extension of contract of Adnan Januzaj, although it is not ruled out at all. La Real wants the Belgian to continue wearing the txuri-urdin shirt and their idea is to improve his contract somewhat to try to convince you. But his agent for the moment is begging, he prefers to wait a little, buying time that It can also bring you closer to other possibilities far from Donostia. Although at Real, as Roberto Olabe said in his day, they believe that the Belgian player wants to renew and play more years in the San Sebastian club. It is not a simple negotiation, but they are also optimistic.
The other player with whom the renewal is negotiated is Monreal, which is one of the three most urgent, because his contract ends at the end of this campaign. The talks are on the right track and neither side doubts that an agreement will be reached that does not seem far off, although perhaps that is why there is no rush to close it. There is tranquility and they prefer to focus on other more important aspects, such as the Cup final in a month. In fact, in La Real they can postpone these issues until after the match on April 3 and request such questions after the big match in La Cartuja.
