From the environment of the lions they hope to add some quality signings to guide the ‘Txingurri’ project
ernesto valverde He is already working on the following season with Athletic, where he will be more demanding than in the previous one. And it is that the San Mamés club needs to improve its numbers from last year since they have been left in debt despite having top-level players. Therefore, some key players are expected to arrive.
Let’s remember that Valverde has lost someone at Athletic, as is Iñigo Martínez. Likewise, a series of exits are coming that must be replaced as soon as possible. From there, negotiations began that could end with two first-rate incorporations. This could satisfy the ‘Txingurri’ at once.
From Athletic they are preparing two top-level signings to boost Valverde’s squad
In this way, it has been possible to establish that there are two players in the portfolio who can promote the project that is coming for the lions. Although they are quite ambitious, they are quite real operations since there are conditions that may arise for their arrival at San Mamés. We are talking about Aymeric Laporte and César Azpilicueta.
In that order of ideas, from Athletic they want to get a couple of top performance defenders for Valverde. The defense was one of the aspects that had low points and that is where the high priority should be given. In the case of the Chelsea footballer, he wants a change of scenery as soon as possible and welcomes coming to the rojiblanco club.
Laporte continues in the orbit of the lions and in the summer market he could return to San Mamés
As for Aymeric Laporte, there has been interest for a long time, since he was a player who went through the youth categories of the Bilbao team. He has lost total prominence at Manchester City, so he is considering changing his destination as soon as possible. Undoubtedly, and if it were to happen, it would be two bombs that cause expectation in the fans.
We will have to wait then for what can happen with this pair of movements. For now, Valverde will remain aware of the sports management, where he awaits top signings for Athletic in 2024. They will have to compete for Azpilicueta with clubs of the caliber of Inter Milan and Bayern Munich, although both have not made solid offers.
