According to sources, Abreu did not appear at the airport in Mendoza as River Plate prepared for their summer pre-season training in preparation for the Clausura tournament. Now River Plate officials are looking to block this impending move to Spain if Abreu does not bring them back a significant amount of money that the club spent to bring him to Argentina twice.
The ecomically strapped Sociedad are among one of the lowest scoring sides in the Spanish second division and coach Juan Manuel Lillo asked for Abreu since he was familiar with the Uruguayan international during his days with Mexican side Dorados de Sinaloa.
Real Sociedad are currently in seventh place in second division, but are only five points away from the top spot being held by Salamanca. They are making every effort to have a second-half push that would have them return to first division after being in second for two years. Sociedad was in first division for 40 years before being relegated back in 2007.
