🤨 Waiting game: Agirrezabala starts pre-season with Athletic

Julen Agirrezabala has begun preseason with Athletic Club in Lezama, while Valencia CF continues to work on closing his incorporation on a loan basis. The 24-year-old goalkeeper is part of Ernesto Valverde's dynamic team while the details of an operation that has been in the works for weeks are being finalized. The agreement between the clubs includes a loan with a purchase option, but it has not been formalized yet due to pending details such as the amount of that option or the salary conditions. From Mestalla, confidence is maintained that the negotiation will reach a successful conclusion, as Agirrezabala is a priority to strengthen the goal of the team led by Carlos Corberán. Advertisement In Bilbao, however, they are counting on the goalkeeper until there is official confirmation, and Valverde himself has not publicly ruled out his continuation. The situation should be resolved in the coming days, once Valencia advances in its sports planning with the new CEO, Ron Gourlay, already in charge of key operations.

🚨 Defence bolstered: Athletic sign Unai Egiluz until 2028

Athletic Club has confirmed today, Wednesday, the renewal of Unai Egiluz, central defender from Durango, who extends his contract until June 2028 after completing a standout season on loan at CD Mirandés. Egiluz, 23, redeemed himself with a solid performance in the Hypermotion League, where he was an undisputed starter and accumulated over 2,300 minutes, standing out in the final stretch of the season and leading the defense in the promotion phase to the First Division. Advertisement His versatility and security have been valued by the club, which is betting on his sporting projection and adaptation to Ernesto Valverde's style, although future decisions will depend on other possible arrivals that could reinforce the defense. With this renewal, Athletic secures one of Lezama's talents and reinforces the idea of incorporating homegrown players into the first team, while keeping the door open to possible loans if they are considered necessary for their sporting growth.

🚨 Javi Lerga named new Athletic Club Femenino manager

Athletic Club has officially announced the appointment of Javi Lerga as the new head coach of the women's first team for the 2025-26 season. The 45-year-old coach from Navarre has signed for one season. Lerga arrives at Lezama following a distinguished career with the Royal Spanish Football Federation, where he was the national Under-19 coach and won the European Championship with that category. Additionally, he has been part of the coaching staff of the senior women's national team in top-level competitions, such as the 2023 World Cup and the Paris 2024 Olympics, working alongside Montse Tomé. Advertisement His experience in youth football and his methodological profile have been key for Athletic to bet on him in this new phase. Accompanying him to Bilbao is Rubén Berrogui, who will serve as the assistant coach after his time with the Osasuna Femenino coaching staff. Lerga will take over a team that has completed two remarkable seasons under the direction of David Aznar, with a fifth and a fourth place in the Liga F, coming close to European qualification. His challenge will be to consolidate the team among the best in the category and take a further step in the pursuit of more ambitious goals.
