head on the Real

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.

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.

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.

That ten ‘txitxarros’ have contributed to adding 17 of the 31 points (54%) that the subsidiary has.
