Real Sociedad are in talks for Real Madrid for Takefusa Kubo.
The Japan international spent last season on-loan with Getafe and Real Mallorca and must be on the move again due to his non-EU status.
Mundo Deportivo says Real Sociedad have opened talks with Real Madrid about a €10m deal for Kubo.
La Real are pushing for a permanent deal, while Real Madrid would prefer a loan arrangement.
Kubo back at Valdebebas for preseason training but could be left out of the US tour squad as La Real push for an agreement.
