Athletic Club star signs new seven-year contract | OneFootball

A leading member of the midfield ranks at La Liga outfit Athletic Club has on Thursday put pen to paper on fresh terms with the club.

The player in question? Beñat Prados.

Prados, for his part, is fresh off something of a breakout campaign in Bilbao.

After impressing across a loan stint with Mirandés in 2022/23, the 23-year-old was at last afforded a chance to prove himself back with his parent club.

And Prados, all told, went on to manage precisely that.

The deep-lying midfielder racked up 33 appearances across all competitions, a haul including 16 La Liga starts.

Expected to play an increasingly prominent role over the seasons ahead, it should in turn come as little surprise to hear of the San Mamés brass this week moving to tie Prados down for the long-term.

As per an official statement across the club’s website and social media platforms:

‘Athletic Club midfielder Beñat Prados has put pen to paper on a new deal which will keep him in Bilbao until 30 June 2031.’
