Real Sociedad Ends Three Stages in Zubieta: Dadie, Arana and Gorosabel Say Goodbye

Sanse says goodbye to three youth players after a season of permanence and an uncertain future for other talents.

The atmosphere in Zubieta, the Real Sociedad youth team, is tinged with farewell. The txuri urdin entity has officially announced the losses that will affect Sanse for the next campaign. There will be three footballers who will not continue wearing the blue and white jersey: Alberto Dadie, Egoitz Arana and Jakes Gorosabel. This figure, notably reduced, reflects the club's commitment to the continuity of the talent forged at home, as well as the meritorious salvation of the reserve team in the Second Division.

The departure of Alberto Dadie marks the end of a long and significant 12-year period in Zubieta. The young man from Gipuzkoa fulfilled the desire of every realistic youth squad: to make his debut with the first team. His first appearances were in the Copa del Rey, and he even had the opportunity to play in a derby, both under the leadership of Imanol Alguacil. After a loan at Mirandés, he returned with a new perspective, adapted to the role of full-back, and became a fundamental piece for Ansotegi in the fight for permanence. At almost 24 years old, Dadie embarks on a new professional adventure, a well-deserved reward for his performance this season. Rumors place him close to Cádiz.

The case of Egoitz Arana It is noteworthy and, to some extent, expected. The information coming from Asturias pointed to a possible signing for Sporting. The goalkeeper, also born in 2002, had left Real three years ago, with hardly any opportunities at San Fernando. However, Olasagasti's injury led to his return to the realistic club a year later. His role was to be Sanse's substitute and collaborate in training and call-ups for the first team. His return turned out to be providential, establishing himself as a hero in the promotion when Fraga could not be there. After renewing for the Second Division, Arana demonstrated a high level when required. Now, with sporting maturity, he seeks his own path, strengthened by valuable experience. He leaves his place, in addition to Folgado, to a returning Olasagasti.

The main novelty in this announcement is the departure of Jakes Gorosabel. The San Sebastian forward, Gorka's brother, came to Real after standing out in the ranks of Antiguoko Juvenil. Unfortunately, injuries cut short his progression. Carrera overtook him in the hierarchy and Gorosabel did not find a place in Sanse. He has alternated his participation in the C team, where he has had an excellent scoring campaign, with his debut in the Second Division with Sanse. He has added calls and some minutes, but after three seasons, his journey at Real ends. The club has expressed its gratitude for his efforts and has wished him the best in his future projects.

Kita and Agote, in the Limbo of Negotiations

This official statement on the casualties suggests that Real Sociedad is immersed in negotiations to ensure the continuity of other players. It is the case of Kazunari Kitawhose assignment ends but has not been included in the casualty list. There is a purchase option estimated at approximately 2 million euros, and Japanese sources assure that it will be executed. Likewise, the situation of Unax Agote It's in the air. His contract ends and he will no longer be sub23. However, given the possibility of promotion or a possible loan for Balda, the permanence of Sanse and the lack of profiles on the left back beyond Pello Arana, who has already made his debut, his relationship with Real could be extended for one more season, adding important minutes. His teammates already chanted “Agote stay” in the last game, a sign of the esteem they have for him. The player will be thinking about it.
