The sports management knows that big clubs follow one of their most outstanding players
Currently, almost no big European club makes their transfers without consulting Big Data. But this tool is not always positive for the clubs, as it can also happen that other teams are interested in their players. Just what has happened now with the Athleticwho is already aware that the big European clubs closely follow one of their players most prominent.
It is a player who has shone under the orders of Marcelino, who has made him one of the best defenders in the Santander League. The young footballer has managed to prevail over players like Yeray or Unai Núñez, who this season have been relegated to a secondary role. That is why has sneaked into the radar of the best teams in Europea.
Big Data puts Athletic in a problem
As we know, this footballer is none other than Dani Vivian, who this season has established himself as Iñigo Martínez’s companion at the center of the defense. His level has been extraordinary throughout the course, establishing himself as one of the best defenders in the league at only 22 years old. Something that has served to draw the attention of the big clubs, who see him as one of the great defenders of the present and future.
On the other hand, his season at Athletic has been so good that his market value has multiplied. Just two years ago, the value of Dani Vivian was located at 200,000 euros. But now, after a loan at CD Mirandés and after returning to Athletic, his value has multiplied. He is now estimated at 12 million euros, an amount that he will continue to raise if he continues to show this high level.
Athletic will not sell Vivian this summer
However, and despite the fact that there are many great European teams that want the player, the club has not the slightest intention of parting with one of its pillars. A pillar to which they are well tied, since last February he signed a contract extension that will keep him in the team until 2026. However, there is a great mystery regarding his termination clause.
Athletic did not make this clause public, so it is feared that there is an agreement so that the player can go to a big club for less than expected. Be that as it may, this summer he will not move from Bilbao and will work under Ernesto Valverde, who has a real problem with the center of defence. And it is that he has four starters for two positions, which will bring him great headaches.
