Does the bottom of the pots have holes and you can see a large amount of roots in the holes?

I think its root bound. Those things get pretty big.

How will you free him? Maybe break the pot around it?

Plenty of plants are happy to be root bound as long as they’re getting the nutrients they need. Bonsai trees for example are generally root bound. They just won’t be getting it from soil is all, since there really isn’t any. It won’t get bigger, but doesn’t mean it’s not happy.
So there’s really no need to do anything unless you want it to grow, in which case a larger pot is the answer.
