🚨 Defence bolstered: Athletic sign Unai Egiluz until 2028 | OneFootball

Athletic Club has confirmed today, Wednesday, the renewal of Unai Egiluz, central defender from Durango, who extends his contract until June 2028 after completing a standout season on loan at CD Mirandés.

Egiluz, 23, redeemed himself with a solid performance in the Hypermotion League, where he was an undisputed starter and accumulated over 2,300 minutes, standing out in the final stretch of the season and leading the defense in the promotion phase to the First Division.

His versatility and security have been valued by the club, which is betting on his sporting projection and adaptation to Ernesto Valverde's style, although future decisions will depend on other possible arrivals that could reinforce the defense.

With this renewal, Athletic secures one of Lezama's talents and reinforces the idea of incorporating homegrown players into the first team, while keeping the door open to possible loans if they are considered necessary for their sporting growth.
