Granero returns to Real Sociedad Esteban Granero will be a Real Sociedad player up to 30th June 2018, after the Basque side concluded a deal with Queens Park Rangers, who did not use Madrid-born midfielder Granero in the friendly game they played in Leipzig, Germany, on Saturday.Granero could be a new face in the squad when Real Sociedad return to their academy training ground at Zubieta,
expected to be on Monday at 5 p.m. with a view to turning out 100 per cent in the first leg of the Europa League qualifying round game against Scottish Premier side Aberdeen,
on Thursday at 20:30. It all depends on whether he has time to get back to London from Leipzig, where the friendly was played, and then on to San Sebastian.

when
club president Jokin Aperribay travelled to London to seal the deal at the insistence of manager Jagoba Arrasate
There had been some discussion over a couple of days
between the Real Sociedad management and London-based QPR, over the fee, but
in the end it was settled at around ?4 million.The agreement runs until 2018, after the player made some adjustments to his requirements to fit in with Real Sociedad,
who also made an effort to adjust their demands to put the finishing touches to their 2014-15 squad with the signing of the Spaniard.
