Jesús Areso has become one of the prominent names in the summer transfer market, with Athletic Club positioning him as one of their main targets to strengthen the right side of their defense. The current player of Osasuna, who has had a remarkable season at El Sadar, is in the spotlight of the Lions, who have been working for weeks on his incorporation. Bilbao has tried to propose different formulas to reduce the cost of the operation, but Osasuna's stance remains firm.

Athletic Club already knows the price of Jesús Areso

In Pamplona, they do not consider any scenario other than the full payment of the release clause, set at 12 million euros. The Navarrese club believes that Areso is an important piece and is not willing to strengthen a direct rival without appropriate financial compensation. Conversations have stalled precisely due to this difference in positions, with Osasuna defending its sporting and economic interests against Athletic's insistence.

At 26 years old, Areso has shown a constant evolution in his performance, earning a fixed place in the coach's plans. His projection, physique, and ability to reach the opponent's area have not only caught attention in Bilbao but also in other sports management directions within the national scene. However, it is Athletic who has shown a more specific and determined interest.

Time is ticking, and the San Mamés entity will have to make a move if they want to close an operation that seems key for the design of their squad as soon as possible. Osasuna, on the other hand, waits calmly, convinced that only the total execution of the clause will move their full-back. The ball is now in the court of the Bilbao club, which will have to assess whether to bear that cost or look for alternatives in the market.
