Today almost all the contracts of more than a hundred Athletic employees who work in Lezama come to an end. The famous June 30 is already here. It will be necessary to wait, in any case, a few more hours to have more certainties than doubts regarding the future of the red and white technicians and other workers of the red and white factory.
Ander Capa is a separate case, without a doubt. The Portugalete defender concludes today his contractual relationship as a lion after a last year in which he has not counted for Marcelino. Jon Uriarte’s candidacy showed his intention to face the renewal of the right back if he reaches Ibaigane.
The now president therefore has the decision regarding Capa in his hands. From the player’s environment they assured yesterday that the intention of Athletic is to face the renewal of the jarrillero, but that at the moment they lacked a concrete offer on the table. In principle, there was talk of a contract for two seasons plus a third conditional on a series of objectives to be met in the first two.

The new managers of the club have already made it clear that their intention is to negotiate the new contracts with a fixed part and another variable depending on the fulfillment of a series of requirements. We will also have to wait to see in what economic terms this new Athletic offer moves, since with Alkorta at the head of the club’s sports management, a renewal proposal was already presented at the time, which, lacking the pertinent answer, ended being removed from the table.
When falling
Another case with its own name is that of Gorka Guruzeta. The striker from San Sebastian has just had a great season with Amorebieta in LaLiga Smartbank. After leaving Lezama a year earlier for Sabadell, the striker from Gipuzkoa accepted the proposal made by the Zornotzarra club last summer.
The relegation of Urritxe’s men allows Guruzeta to negotiate with another club without the need for them to pay for having to take over their services. Athletic, in such a situation, is determined to recover the former rojiblanco striker. Everything indicates that the agreement between both parties is on track and that the player from San Sebastian will once again defend the shirt of the Bilbao first team for the next two seasons, plus another possible third, also conditional on the prior fulfillment of a series of objectives.
