A few hours before the concentration of the Spanish team for the Euro Cup in Germany and even the wedding of Iñaki Williams, Athletic once again surprised everyone and everything with news that no one expected at this point of the season. Dani Vivian has extended his contract as a red-and-white player for six more seasons, an event that extends his relationship with the Bilbao entity until June 30, 2032. That’s it.
Jon Uriarte has taken a decisive step forward when it comes to securing Athletic’s rearguard. In just one week, the contract extensions of Unai Simón, Julen Agirrezabala and Vivian herself have been registered. Times before, the renewals of De Marcos, Paredes, Yuri… The plan was good and everything was more developed in the Bilbao club. Things are what they are.
Not available for discouragement
Ibai Gómez, who will serve as coach of the Dominican Republic at the Paris Olympic Games and later return to Bilbao to oversee the historic bench at the Arenas, knows Vivian well. He made him a player during his time as coach of Santutxu Juvenile C, a team the boy then joined at the request of himself and his family after his cadet phase in Ariznabarra. “He’s like a sponge because he absorbs everything,” his former lion said at the time.
Basconia, Bilbao Athletic, loaned Mirandés, where he was named captain by his own teammates, and returned to Lezama to jump into Athletic’s first team. Vivian opened space for himself both in the red and white defense and in De la Fuente’s calls. All worked hard. In performance at the foot of the field.
Yesterday, shortly before leaving for Madrid to try to earn a place in the Spain team that faces Germany, he extended his contract as a lion. There must be a reason.
