Athletic Club goes all in for a €28M signing in January

Ernesto Valverde's team continues to look for market opportunities to strengthen their squad.

Athletic Club is going all out for a €28M signing in January.

The Athletic Club has not lost sight of Aimar Oroz and is planning a new approach for the midfielder in the upcoming winter transfer market, as reported by El Desmarque. Following a failed attempt in the summer, where they were looking to replace Iker Muniain and strengthen the squad alongside Oihan Sancet, the club's sports management reaffirms their interest in the young talent from Osasuna. Despite Oroz recently extending his contract until 2029, his youth makes him a viable target for the future.

Athletic had made several offers that never met Oroz's €28 million release clause before his renewal. However, the insistence of the Bilbao club suggests they are willing to continue seeking opportunities to secure his services. Braulio Vázquez, Osasuna's sporting director, mentioned that if Aimar continues to progress, he might seek a team competing for European titles, which could further complicate his signing.

Aimar Oroz remains on Athletic Club's radar

The revival of Athletic's interest is evident in the close monitoring of the player. Mikel González, the club's football director, recently attended a match at the Reale Arena to observe Oroz's performance, in which he displayed great maturity, despite playing with a yellow card for over seventy minutes.

Athletic has informed the player's circle that they have not forgotten about him, indicating his name remains on the club's agenda. With the winter market approaching, expectations regarding a potential signing of Aimar Oroz by Athletic Club gain strength once again, fueling the hope of fans to see the promising midfielder in red and white.
