Álex Berenguer still doesn’t agree with Athletic’s contract extension and looks to Sevilla FC
The decision on Berenguer’s continuity is a sensitive issue in Bilbao. The red and white winger had several approaches to continue at Athletic. However, nothing has been finalized yet. It is possible that the footballer wants to change clubs. Sevilla FC has shown great interest in him for some time. Therefore it is a possibility for the future.
The priority of the Sevilla team is to strengthen the offensive line for next season with experienced players of this category. Álex Berenguer has been on Sevilla FC’s agenda for a long time. The Andalusians want to take advantage of the player’s indecision. Who hasn’t decided to stay at a club where they’re not a regular player? Because at Athletic Club it is very difficult to start in the eleven every Sunday.
Berenguer sees things more complicated with Djaló and looks at Sevilla FC
On the other hand, there is the arrival of Djaló in the Basque discipline. The Athletic Club has decided to trust an up-and-coming player who is causing a stir in San Mamés. Berenguer would see fewer minutes next year. They would have more competition for the position. For this reason, he intends to move to Sevilla FC. In the Sevilla club his position would be much more established than in the Basque discipline.
The arrival of Djaló is very exciting for the community of San Mamés. He is a player with a lot of skills and a very good relationship with the goal. The reality is that they hope it will be a future flagship project in Bilbao. A similar case to that of Nico Williams. Valverde’s style of play requires high-speed wingers who provide a lot of dynamite in the attacking area.
The Basque club has expanded its offer for the footballer
As far as we can see, Berenguer’s case has more to do with the lack of protocols than with economic aspects. The extreme prioritizes a project where he is more important than his salary. The Athletic Club itself has offered him a higher amount on several occasions. However, the player’s reaction was always negative to reach an agreement.
Álex’s priority remains to get more minutes. If it can’t be in Bilbao, then in another club. However, he will not go to Sevilla FC at a loss of money. His transfer would come with a salary increase in addition to a further role at Nervión. Which would suit the footballer’s preferences.
