The midfielder of the Spanish championship, who finished in fifteenth place last season, from San Sebastian informed the main team goalkeeper, the Dutchman Sander Westerveld, that he is for sale and gave the player the opportunity to choose the club where he would like to play next year.
"The club said that it would be best for me to start looking for another club," said the team's goalkeeper to the "Real Sociedad" website.
"I understand the situation that has arisen, but I am certainly not indignant. On the contrary, I am very concerned because I want to play," Westerveld said.
It is believed that the club wants to sell the player not because of his playing ability, but because of the poor economic situation of the club. In addition, since the goalkeeper's contract expires next year, "Real Sociedad" is inclined to make some profit from the player's transfer, as next year the player could leave the club without any compensation.
The Dutchman arrived in San Sebastian in the middle of the 2001-02 season from the "Liverpool" club. A great performance by the goalkeeper in the 2002-03 season helped the club to finish in second place in the championship, only losing the title to the footballers of "Real" in the last round.
