But Imanol says: "He is, above all, a great player, a player with a lot of talent, very young, who is improving a lot and who still has a lot of room for improvement.
"Let's hope he continues to progress, because that is good for Take, but also for me and for the Royal Sociedad.
"Take is with us here. I hope to have all of them. The players are in a great club, which we have been doing phenomenally for five years, entering Europe, last year in the Champions League, and the players know which club they are in."
