The name of Unai Nuñez has sounded in recent days linked to the orbit of various clubs both in LaLiga and abroad. None of them, apparently, went to Ibaigane to put a specific offer on the table. Those responsible for the rojiblanco club were very clear, in any case, that the Repelega center-back should continue to be linked to the rojiblanca discipline despite the competition he has in his position with Vivian, Yeray and Iñigo Martínez.
Last Sunday in Vallecas, for example, Yeray was left off the list due to physical problems. Something similar happened to Vivian for more than two months, so there were specific appointments in which Marcelino only had two specific center backs in the axis of his defense.
There is the added circumstance in addition to the fact that both Iñigo Martínez and Vivian end their contract as lions on June 30, 2023. The left-handed center-back arrived at Athletic as soon as Laporte left for City and after paying Real 32 million of his clause. As Ibaigane’s coffers are after this pandemic, it will be necessary to see if the Bilbao club has enough financial muscle to tackle the renewal of one of its internationals. The right-handed centre-back, for his part, grows day by day.
Yeray, for his part, ends in 2026 and Nuñez, a year earlier.
