Sabin made his official debut with the first team on 6 August 2015, coming on as a second-half substitute for Javier Eraso in a 0–0 away draw against Inter Baku PIK for the campaign's UEFA Europa League. After the departure of Guillermo, he was finally granted a place in the main squad, being assigned #25.

Sabin started in the 4–0 home routing of FC Barcelona for the Supercopa de España on 14 August 2015 as a left winger, providing the assist for Aritz Aduriz's second goal. He scored his first professional goal on 20 August, netting the first in a 2–3 Europa League playoff round loss at MŠK Žilina.

Sabin scored his first goal in the Spanish top flight on 23 September 2015, in a 1–2 home defeat against Real Madrid.
