The Athletic will depend more and more on the players who leave Lezama. The rojiblanca entity's fishing ground is what it is and the surrounding clubs also have more resources to retain the players trained in their respective quarries. It is not only about money as well, but about interesting sports projects.
Remiro, for example, he preferred to go to the Royal rather than being Athletic's starting goalkeeper, although perhaps the former came by rushing to await the latter. With Son tan It has happened more or less similar, and its final destination will be Osasuna. The right-handed side of Bilbao Athletic is more seduced by the sporting and economic offer from Red and White than from Red and White.
What is really important from the perspective of the Bilbao club is that this type of footballer does not continue in the entity. Nobody doubts his quality or his footballing conditions, but they do doubt his competitive spirit. If you are not the owner of a site because, among other things, there are others ahead; what it is about is to wait your moment to prove your worth at grass level and take over the position.
Everyone, of course, looks out for their own interests. The love of colors and the implication, if that, better leave it for another day.
