The Athletic Club is on the verge of closing a signing that promises to strengthen its attack. Maroan Sannadi, a forward who has shone with Barakaldo in Primera RFEF, is in the final stages of negotiations to join the Bilbao team. The sports management has been monitoring his progress for some time, and after weeks of analysis, they have decided to take the final step to incorporate him directly into the first team, as reported by Relevo.
The attacker, born in Vitoria with Moroccan roots, has caused a sensation in his category, scoring 11 goals in 22 games this season. His performance has not gone unnoticed, and Athletic has intensified talks with Deportivo Alavés, the club with which Sannadi is under contract, to finalize his arrival in this winter transfer window.

One key aspect of the transfer is that the 23-year-old player cannot alternate between the first team and the reserves, so his signing represents a strong commitment from the red-and-white club. His profile as a classic forward, with the ability to play with his back to goal and deal with tight defenses, makes him an interesting piece to strengthen the squad.
If the deal goes through, the forward would not only bring goals but also be a complement to Gorka Guruzeta in the attack. Furthermore, his addition would provide additional offensive options while Álvaro Djaló continues his adaptation process.
With all preliminary steps completed and a firm interest from Athletic, the final decision will lie in the negotiations between the clubs. If everything proceeds as planned, Sannadi will soon don the red-and-white jersey and take a significant leap in his career.
