Aritz Elustondo will no longer be a blue white player at the end of the season
Royal captains Aritz Elustondo and Mikel Oyarzabal, with the last King's Cup won.
Aritz Elustondo will no longer be a White Blue player at the end of this season, according to the Royal Society in a statement. The club has informed the player that it will not renew the contract that binds both sides.
Aritz Elustondo debuted in December 2014 at a Copa match in Oviedo, where from that date until today he has played 310 official games in the 11 seasons he has been part of the first team.
"As an example on and off the field, Aritz has been one of those indispensable players on any team," the Royal stressed. "He has been a footballer with constant performance and always ready to play for all the coaches who have passed through the White Blue bench in the last decade," she added.
There are four games left ahead, two of them in Anoeta, and the whole Blue White family hopes to fire Elustondo "as he deserves." "One of the great ones is leaving. Thank you for everything, Aritz."
