Athletic will no longer move for Núñez: “We are waiting”

Athletic has already transferred three offers to Núñez and does not plan to move any more chips. And less now that the crisis lurks because of the coronavirus. The Portuguese central defender still does not respond to the proposals. In the winter market, West Ham was willing to pay the 30 million clause, but finally the European Under-21 champion wanted to stay home. Bayern and Inter also have it on their agenda, facing a possible signing in the summer. And Arsenal does not lose sight of him, although he is currently leaning towards the Frenchman Disasi (22 years old), who can be removed from Reims for 15 million.

“The only thing we know is that he has a contract until 2023. We have already made our proposal and we are waiting,” said the rojiblanco sports director, Alkorta, who two months ago already warned that they are going for the third offer. “We would love for you to continue with us, he is a boy with a lot of potential. We will continue to wait with the calm that gives us that he has three more years of contract, ”he continued on Radio Euskadi.

On the fate of Aduriz, San José and Beñat, who have just signed a contract, He haggled like a superclass forward. The last two are almost impossible to follow and the first wanted to retire with the Cup final, but now it has become difficult for him. “We will see, the important thing is the 11 games we have ahead, the Cup is far away and we have to focus on the present. There is permanent contact with them, all we want is that after June 30 the contracts are extended and the league with us ends. Everything will be solved. The work of Sanjo and Beñat is impeccable ”.

Alkorta reiterated that they have not started conversations for the signing of Javi Martínez, for which Bayern listens to offers. “We have not gone for any player. Anyone who can wear the Athletic shirt is interesting for us, Javi is top, he has an impeccable career but he has a contract with another team and we cannot do anything,” he summarized. He loses an eye on his performances, such as those of Berenguer with Torino, and he added that he has the four coaches of the entity's main teams for next season: Garitano with Athletic, Etxeberria with the subsidiary, Patxi Salinas with Baskonia and Imanol de la Sota with Juvenil A.

In addition, the excentral says that he sees the players “very excited” and wanting to acquire a European ticket via Liga. AND He is happy to see that the Cup final with Real is going to have an audience, although if he were given a choice, he opted for it to be played as soon as possible: “I would have preferred that the final be played as soon as possible, but not It depends on us”.
