Ander Capa now has a new destination after his last two unsuccessful seasons at Athletic. The defender from Portugalete yesterday made official his signing for Levante for this campaign with the option of one more depending on how events currently unfold. The right-back dropped a step in the category level to bolster a Granota team that on his debut drew 1-1 against recently promoted Amorebieta in Lezama.
The lions who for one reason or another stopped belonging to the Athletic discipline at the end of the last season are gradually finding a place. Only Iñigo Martínez remains at a First League club, although he has yet to make his Barça debut or at the level of friendly commitments due to problems caused by plantar fasciitis which is dragging him down on one foot.
Another former lion also remains in the top category, although in another country. Oier Zarraga made his debut in an official match against Udinese. The midfielder from Getxo completed the Cup match between his new team and Catanzaro. The former rojiblanco, wearing the number 6 shirt on his back, provided the assist in the game that made it 4-1 definitive. His league debut could come this Sunday in the clash between his current squad and Juve.
Nico Serrano also found a place in a Primera club from another country, although in his case it was a transfer. The prolific left-handed striker from Navarre renewed with Athletic for two more seasons before leaving for Zwolle, a team recently promoted to the Eredivisie. His league debut in the Netherlands championship ended in a home defeat.

Vencedor also left this summer on loan to Eibar. The midfielder from Bilbao was lined up by Joseba Etxeberria as soon as he was in the armorer’s locker room, but his league debut ended in a defeat by a landslide against Racing at El Sardinero. Iñigo Vicente, just renewed for the Cantabrian team, opened the scoring with a goal from a lack of handkerchiefs.
Balenziaga, meanwhile, dropped two ranks after leaving Athletic. The veteran left-back signed for Dépor. The club from A Coruña will try again for the third time in a row to jump into what is now known as LaLiga Hypermotion.
Ander Iru, for his part, will also be a member of a First RFEF club this new season. Igorre’s goalkeeper will defend the goal of SD Logroñés.
