Athletic's first contact with Torino by Berenguer

Athletic finally picked up the phone and decided to call Torino to ask about Berenguer. For the record, he had already addressed the Italian club last season, but in the current market he has waited for the last week to be authorized to make signings. The operation is not easy. At first, Torino valued the Navarrese winger at 15 million, although they will let him out for 12. They paid 5.5 for him in 2017, but there is a penalty clause for which they must pay 1.5 if they sell him to Athletic . These are figures that Athletic cannot reach, which has put a ceiling close to eight million, in which it wants to include variables such as the games played.

Celta knocked on the door of Torino weeks ago and left scared. The emergence of Morcillo in the preseason and his good performances so far in the League advise against throwing the house out the window for a footballer of the same position. Garitano claimed days ago a winger with a good one on one, deep and with a goal. A profile that fits well with that of the ex-unionist. But as it happens with Javi Martínez, who deflates the margarita at Bayern with juicier offers than that of Bilbao, they are not going to do crazy things because Ibaigane's economy is not for great joys. Berenguer wants to return to LaLiga and looks forward to landing at San Mamés.

In addition, Athletic must resolve these days the departures of Herrerín, determined to try adventure abroad, and Larrazabal, who is rushing options in First. Zarraga will go down to the subsidiary. AND Iñigo Vicente wants to stay and change the opinion of a Garitano who asks him for more sacrifice without the ball.
