The Athletic Club is very close to securing its return to the UEFA Champions League and does not want to miss the opportunity to build a highly competitive team for the upcoming season.

With the goal of strengthening their squad, the Bilbao board is already eyeing several key reinforcements. Among the names gaining strength are Aimar Oroz, Robert Navarro, Jesús Areso, and Aymeric Laporte, players who would bring quality and depth to a team aiming to perform well in Europe.

Athletic Club aims to make 4 signings in the summer

One of the strategic signings would be Robert Navarro, a player from Mallorca, who would bolster the right-wing. His arrival would give the team an additional option in that area of the field, either to share minutes with Iñaki Williams or even to challenge for a starting position.

Another key move would be to bring in Jesús Areso, right-back from Osasuna. With Óscar De Marcos set to retire at the end of the season, the club needs a natural replacement for that position, and the rojillo player fits perfectly into the profile Ernesto Valverde is looking for.

In defense, the potential addition of Aymeric Laporte would represent a significant leap in quality. The center-back, currently playing in Saudi football, would bring experience and leadership, forming a high-level partnership with Dani Vivian.

Lastly, Aimar Oroz is another player who could join the project. The attacking midfielder from Osasuna would fit into Valverde's scheme, offering a reliable alternative to Oihan Sancet in the offensive double pivot system.
