Capa does not renew and says agur to Athletic

The short time between arrival at Ibaigane of Jon Uriarte and the launch of the Athletic causes all deadlines to be compressed and decisions to be made at breakneck speed. The surprise has jumped late this Saturday afternoon: Ander Capa will not continue on Bilbao. The winger’s contract ended on June 30 and given the particularity of his case, the parties continued to negotiate. His continuity seemed close, but finally they have not reached an agreement.

It is the message that the Portuguese environment transmitted. The differences between the claims of Capa and of Athletic they have been insurmountable, both in years and in the economic aspect, so that they will separate their ways from the new course that now begins. A point of no return has been reached in which it is not feasible for the defender to put himself on Monday at the orders of Ernest Valverde at the start of the preseason Lezama.

Txingurri was questioned on Thursday by Capa in his presentation and assured that both his renewal and the arrival of a possible signing were issues that were being valued: “Still pending a final meeting. I have an idea thought about it in both cases, it is an issue that must be debated and put on the table”. After talking and negotiating with the footballer, the agreement has been impossible.

The name of Capa always flew over during the electoral period in Bilbao. Interestingly, the candidacy of Jon Uriarte He launched a consensus message so that the side did not enter the battle. Be Athletic He asked to be left out and wait, which he did because the Portuguese was free to negotiate with any other club. Offers he had on the table, just like right now. Presumably they will have already been activated.

“With the aim of not harming the player or the club itself, we believe that the sporting situation of Ander Capa must be outside the electoral contest. For this reason, we will contact the other two candidates to propose that our respective teams face and seek a consensual solution”, read the statement issued on May 28. In the end there was no entente between the would-be Ibaiganealthough the player did wait.

Capa He experienced a difficult situation last season. He never counted for Marcelino, something that was a recurring theme during the technician’s appearances. “We have four players in that position. At the beginning three are injured, one plays and surrenders (Lekue). As we were one of the least scored, we maintain the defensive structure and the same players play. From Marcos, who was originally the starter, is a substitute. The players train and I have to be fair and put on the best. By this I do not mean that Capa I’m not training well, but there are others who train better and offer me more guarantees,” he explained. Marcelino at the end of April.

The only minutes of Capa were limited to the final stretch of the duel against health on the penultimate day, what sounded like a farewell to San Mames. The intention of the Portuguese was to continue in Bilbao, as he stated in the interview published by MD on May 30: “I want to stay.” It can’t be. He closes his journey as a rojiblanco after four seasons and 105 games. The right side will be a thing of From Marcos, Lekue and Petxa.
