From the lions club they are still aware of the future of the merengue side
The Athletic Club wants to sign Álvaro odriozola who is one of the great discards of Real Madrid. The right-hander does not count for Carlo Ancelotti despite the fact that both Lucas Vázquez and Dani Carvajal are injured and he has chosen to give Brazilian youth Vinicius Tobias options.
Let’s remember that odriozola has always been the goal of Athletic and they have followed him since his best days at Real Sociedad. They have even been close to hiring him after he has shown a lot of maturity and quality at Fiorentina, but he decided to bet on an opportunity at the Bernabéu. He went wrong this play since he has not had the minutes he expected.
Athletic wants the signing of Odriozola and puts pressure on Real Madrid from the side
In this way, the lions have begun to make a whole strategy so that the right-back can finally reach San Mamés. It has been learned that the player has told the board of directors of the meringues that he wants to fulfill his contract, which runs until 2024.
For Real Madrid, it is key to get out of a discard that, although it has not had many minutes, has a lot of billing. The fact that Odriozola wants to continue in Chamartín does not distance him from Athletic, on the contrary, it would gradually ensure his arrival in Bilbao. This taking into account that he could arrive first on a loan at the end of the market and then free when his link ends.
The right-hander knows that he will not have opportunities but he puts pressure on the whites to want to fulfill his contract
In that order of ideas, the pressure that the winger has generated is such that he knows that he will not play much with the white club with the arrival of Tobias, but that in the end they will let him go even on loan. Everything would be quite beneficial for those of Ernesto Valverde in the medium and long term.
We will have to wait for what can happen with this movement. At the moment, Odriozola is reluctant to leave Madrid, but everything indicates that it would be a plan to reach Athletic. It could be at the end of the winter market or already thinking about the future in the summer when the season ends.
