Athletic’s technical organization chart, led by the sports director, Rafa Alkorta, already slipped that the next renewals of players who finished their contracts on June 30 would be made calmly and measuredly gingerly the times. It is understood that there was no rush with any of the pending cases (Dani Garcia, Balenziaga, De Marcos, Capa and Raul Garcia) and that the decision would be coupled with his performance in the team until well into 2022, no matter how much it is tightened from the environment. Even if if of the Navarrese midfielder depends on some other game to crystallize his 1 + 1 and extend their bond until June 2023.
None have been faced so far. of them, not even informally with some conversation, although Dani García will receive his proposal with total security being a regular starter in Marcelino García Toral’s scheme. It is understood that he is an important piece for the following campaign due to such a specific profile of a recovering pivot. A new renewal format that will be more austere and short-lived within the framework of a club that intends limit the high proportional part which means the expense caused by the item allocated to the workforce.
The other three footballers are framed in different contexts. With Capa there seems to be no way back. The Portuguese winger wants to renew and that is how he was transferred to the club, but there was no agreement at first to extend his contract before the pandemic, and in the last meeting he was offered only one more campaign, until 2023, which was not convincing to a Capa, who is 29 years old and traveled ahead. In this winter market has had a three-year offer for Mallorca and interests of Elche, Alaves and Turin. However, there has been no rescission agreement and it remains until his contract expires on June 30.
For its part, Of Marcos and Balenziaga they will have the resolution of the club later, although for now they are playing regularly, with performance and predicament in the locker room. There will be no problem if not, they would fit him as club men. The technical organization chart must assess whether they fit into the preparation of the new squad, where the left-back will return on loan Imanol García de Albéniz from CD Mirandés, or the promotion of the right Álvaro Núñez from the branch. Or, on the other hand, that both, from 2000, get fired out of Lezama next season before giving them command in the square.
