He is the great hope for the future at Real and at Anoeta they want to pamper him accordingly. The name of Jon Karrikaburu (Elizondo, 2002) begins to sound strongly as a future for Athletic, as a hook for the candidacies for presidential elections that currently have no date. Some voices already declare themselves in favor of paying the 60 million euros of his termination clause -the Real, logically, would ask for it in full, down to the last penny- to take over his services for next season. In this sense, as MD has learned, at Real there is a certain expectation for what may happen and they do not rule out the offensive, although they remain calm, and the player is very calm and very happy in the San Sebastian squad, thinking only of txuri urdin: first in the Sanse promotion, but with the clear desire to belong to the first team next season.
At Anoeta, they understand that Jon Karrikaburu He is well tied with his contract until 2026, signed last summer in the face of the interest of Athletic and Barcelona, and his termination clause of 60 million euros. It is a link with a growing salary, which will experience a large increase as soon as he becomes part of the txuri urdin first team.
At the moment, there is no decision made in this regard nor is the footballer aware of what they plan to do with him because there are many variables. The European classification of Real and the category in which the subsidiary finishes will be decisive. Nobody expects an answer before the end of the First and Second league at the end of May.

His season is not going unnoticed by anyone. Since he began scoring goals in the Third Division two years ago, the Baztandarra has dropped goals from his pockets in all categories until the Second Division, in which he has scored the not inconsiderable figure of 10 goals despite his pubic problems. At the moment, he has not made his debut in the First Division with Real, but he has made his debut in the Europa League, in which he played the last minutes of the match at Anoeta against Monaco.
Imanol, be careful with him
That the Real trusts and bets on him is evidence, although Imanol he prefers to continue to be careful with him. He is not one of the usual ‘colts’ in first team training -like ander martin O Alone recently or before Lobete and Turrientes-. That prudence of the coach with him at 19 years old could collide with a certain impatience of someone who is trained to knock down the door with goals, which is what he has always done in the lower categories.
La Real does not have plenty of troops now in attack due to injuries –Barrenetxea, Oyarzabal-, although the presence of two rams as Isaac and Sorloth and the need you have for him Xabi Alonso in the subsidiary at the moment they stop the jump of Karrikaburu.
Forgotten injury and returns OK from the U-21 team
Jon Karrikaburu The season began with many doubts and discomforts due to a pubic problem that made him stop for a while and closed the door to the first team at various times. However, Elizondo’s player has completely forgotten about that injury and now he is again offering the best of his repertoire, necessary for Sanse to continue dreaming of permanence. Karrikaburu He is already training with Sanse after returning in perfect condition to review the U-21 team, with whom he played 45 minutes in the 8-0 against Lithuania. He forced the fifth yellow against Mirandés, aware that he could not play in Ibiza and will be the spearhead of the subsidiary against Alcorcón.
10 ‘txitxarros’, one from Abreu and two from Bueno
Jon Karrikaburu He has scored 10 goals so far this season, decisive for Sanse to retain options to maintain the category in Second. That ten ‘txitxarros’ have contributed to adding 17 of the 31 points (54%) that the subsidiary has. At the moment, he is already among the best filmmakers in the silver category in the modern history of La Real. Cerium reached 20 goals in Second, Prieto and Agirretxe they added 15, Okay12 and Abreu 11. These last ones, the charrúas, did it in a single season. Okayin the promotion campaign, 2009/10, and Abreu, in the previous one, but since January, 2008/09. The best figure in the same course was signed by Ceriumwith 16 goals in 2007/08.
He has nine games left to ‘alley‘ to match or beat these scorers.
