Lots of Athletic noise and… how many peanuts?

Throughout the week that ends today, there are several names that have been heard in the Athletic orbit. One in particular as a possible boost for next season, there are even those who take it for granted. Others, however, are likely from other clubs for the future. In Ibaigane, as usual since Jon Uriarte became president, silence reigns.

The first and big name that has appeared in recent days, although it has existed for a long time before, is that of Álvaro Djaló. The Sporting de Braga winger, who was born in Madrid to Guinean parents and has a past in the youth ranks of San Miguel, Basauri, and Begoña, has been named Athletic’s new signing for next season. His termination clause is 20 million and he has no shortage of offers.

While awaiting events, doubts and some certainties arose in this regard. Will the current club leaders be willing to pay so much money for a player whose position is now well covered in the first team and has puppies behind him who are struggling hard in the same area? His arrival by millionaire investment is due to the departure of some wanted lions, like Nico Williams? And it continues.

Football cases and things

Djaló, yes, recently acknowledged in a television interview that his dream, and also that of his family, is to play for Barça.

At the other door, at the exit, this week they put the little Williams, which Arsenal, as they say, is very serious about. He is not the only young lion to appear in relation to the orbit of another big club in recent days. Beñat Prados, for example, is said to be interested in Real Madrid.

Football is like that. We will have to wait for the events, but about Athletic there are several things at this stage of the game: neither their coach Valverde nor their captain Muniain, for example, did not sign a contract on June 30.
