Real Sociedad are reportedly close to signing Queens Park Rangers midfielder Esteban Granero on a permanent deal.
The 27-year-old spent last season on loan at the La Liga club, but made just seven appearances after suffering a knee injury.
Granero, who is contracted to the Hoops until 2016, was left out of the side for QPR's pre-season friendly defeat to Red Bull Leipzig on Saturday.
According to Sky Sports News, Granero has now returned to Spain to finalise a permanent switch to Sociedad.
Granero moved to QPR from Real Madrid for £9m in 2012.
