Something that made clear again as soon as the season ended. The insults you receive through social media are the main reason for your desire to Herrerín for leaving the rojiblanco club.

Alkorta, when he reviewed the situation of the team for the new season. “We can facilitate an exit as long as there is an offer and we negotiate,” he said. Alkorta.
The intention of the Athletic It is not asking the clause for Iago
Herrerín, but he does understand that he is a goalkeeper with market value. For this reason, he does not want to negotiate the departure with the player himself, but hopes to receive an offer for him from another club. In that case, the Athletic would be willing to negotiate and provide facilities for Herrerín may find accommodation in another team.
Plan in the quarry
For now, the Athletic is awaiting the decision of the Bilbao goalkeeper. He cannot do more, but he already has a plan to relocate his goalkeepers in the event that Herrerín leave a gap in the first team.
Then, Jokin
Ezkieta would occupy the square of Herrerín in the first team. The Navarrese player, who has just turned 24 years old, would definitively jump from the subsidiary team to be the substitute for Unai
Simon.
In this way, the situation of the goalkeepers of the quarry would be clarified. At Bilbao
Athletic would stay Ander
Iru, with the possibility of entering the plans of Gaizka
Garitano to cover some casualties in the first team, and Julen
Agirrezabala that would jump from the Basconia. The young goalkeeper has already trained under the orders of Joseba
Etxeberria yesterday in the first preseason session at the Bilbao
Athletic. For its part, the goalkeepers places in the Basconia they would occupy them Gorka
