Newcastle midfielder Mikel Merino is set to leave the club this summer.
The highly talented player will return to Spain with Real Sociedad. The La Liga outfit have triggered his release clause of £10million.
According to the Chronicle, the player has already packed his bags and said his goodbyes.
The Magpies were not keen on selling him this summer but they are forced to part with him because of the release clause.
Merino should prove to be a quality signing for Sociedad for the reported £10million. The Spaniard is a prodigious young talent who could develop into a future star for them.
