Hugo Rincón, right-back trained in Lezama, could experience a change of scenery after his outstanding season in the Second Division. Although he belongs to Athletic Club, his excellent performance with Mirandés has sparked interest from several top-tier clubs. The recent signing of Jesús Areso by the Bilbao team has further intensified the competition for the right flank, complicating the options for the young defender to secure a spot in the first team.
Hugo Rincón, on Girona's radar
At 22 years old, Rincón was one of the pillars of a Mirandés squad that fought until the final stretch to promote to the First Division. His offensive projection, tactical intelligence, and defensive reliability established him as one of the most consistent full-backs in the championship. These qualities have not gone unnoticed, and several clubs have inquired about his contract situation, seeing him as a future investment with immediate impact.
Girona has been the first to make a decisive move. The Catalan team, not in European competition, needs to strengthen its squad to face a demanding season on multiple fronts. Rincón would fit perfectly into the playing scheme proposed by the coaching staff, who value his dynamic profile and his ability to adapt both in a four-man defense and a five-man backline.
Although Athletic would not frown upon an exit if a convincing offer arrives, the operation still requires agreement from all parties. Girona has already initiated contacts to expedite negotiations and secure his signing as soon as possible. The player, in turn, would be willing to make the leap to the First Division and play minutes in a competitive environment. All signs point to his future being defined in the coming weeks.
