Ruiz de Galarreta and a little more at Athletic

Athletic summer market closes blind with no major news. Despite the rumors, speculation and even news that appeared around the rojiblanco club in the past hours, the truth is that Valverde has almost the same number of players coming from competing against Real Madrid, Osasuna and Betis at the beginning of the season except Si Martón, who on Thursday afternoon he left on loan to Mirandés. The Guillamón thing, on the one hand, and the Nolaskoain thing, on the other, finally ended up in borage water.

Jon Uriarte’s board of directors lowers the blinds in this first market of the season without spending any euros on transfers. Ruiz de Galarreta, who is free in Mallorca, is the main reinforcement coming from outside the Bilbao club. Others, such as Unai Gómez, Imanol and Beñat Prados, are already at home, although the latter two, yes, have returned from their respective assignments in Eibar and Mirandés. The same can be said for the now injured Nolaskoain, who ended up at Eibar last season.

The chapter of casualties, from such a point of view, is higher in Athletic than the one for signing up. Iñigo Martínez (Barça), Capa (Levante), Balenziaga (Dépor), Vencedor (Eibar), Zarraga (Udinese) and Morcillo (Amorebieta) are missing from Valverde’s squad. Martón too, although last season he did not belong to the rojiblanca discipline, as he was in Real’s subsidiary squad.

In his first year in office at the head of the seat of Ibaigane; Uriarte included Ander Herrera in the Athletic first team, who then went to Bilbao on loan from PSG and this course was already listed as signed, Capa signed for another year and Guruzeta regained for the goal after his remaining season at Amorebieta. Valverde made Adu Ares and Paredes debut as lions. Ander Iru, for his part, is the third team goalkeeper for all purposes except contractual ones, as he continues to have a subsidiary file despite being one of the members of the first team.

Nothing new on the horizon

The number of casualties, in the manner and manner of what happened this summer, gave last summer even formed eleven. Peru Nolaskoain was the last loanee to Eibar. Before him, both Córdoba (Fortuna Sittard) and Ezkieta (Karera) broke away from the Ibaigane entity. The same thing happened, with different nuances, later to Iñigo Vicente (Racing). Imanol, for his part, joined Eibar on loan. Unai Nuñez has signed a unique contract with Celta, a contract the Galician club implemented this summer. Petxa, the way it happened this summer, was part of the preseason in Lezama to leave later for Eder Sarbia’s Andorra. Artola finished that summer in Burgos and he signed for Alcorcón and Beñat Prados and Nico Serrano, for their part, left a year earlier for Mirandés.

The loan chapter so far this season includes the aforementioned Serrano (Zwolle), Artola (Alcorcón). Martón (Mirandés), Morcillo (Amorebieta) and Vencedor (Eibar).
