All eyes are now on De Marcos

With the renewal of Mikel Balenziagathere are only three players left who are out of contract at the end of this season, Ander Capa, Raul Garcia and Oscar de Marcos. The case of the first two seems quite clear. The Portugalete winger will not continue next season after failing to reach an agreement with the club to extend his contract and not counting for Marcelino -He hasn’t played a single minute yet- and the Navarrese has a clause for objectives to continue until 2023. It could have already been fulfilled or, if not, there will be no problem for it considering that he is playing a lot, well starting or coming off the bench.

The man from Alava is the owner of Marcelino on the right side

The big doubt is that of Laguardia. From Marcos he is the starter for the Asturian coach on the right side despite the fact that in the first part of the season he started playing at a very good level Iñigo Lekue.

Athletic’s ’18’ has always been very sincere about his continuity. “Go on another year? Little by little we will decide the club and I. We will try to make the best decision for everyone. The truth is that I do not plan to go anywhere else. My happiness has always been here. That decision is clear to me”, he said in the interview granted to Sports world last February 9.

The man from Alava wants to be sure that he has enough physical level to continue one more campaign. This is the premise to sit down to negotiate with Rafa Alkorta the terms of your next contract. “I don’t set deadlines. I will try to make the decision as close as possible to the end of the season to know how I am. There are eleven games left and if I see that I am available in all eleven, if I am fine for at least seven or eight games, I may be in a position to know if I can continue, ”he told the newspaper. Call last day 11.

From Marcos He has played fourteen games this season, eleven of them as starters for a total of 1,049 minutes in the League, fourteenth in this ranking. He has scored a goal against Betis in San Mamés with a shot from the edge of the box after a good play by Oihan Sancet.

Marcelino He also requested his renewal, both for his performance and for his attitude on the field and in the locker room. He is one of the most beloved lions in the stands. Quite possibly, if he sees himself in physical condition, he will be the next to renew between now and the end of the season.
