Rafa Alkorta He has just finished his stage as Atletico sports director and spoke clearly about the moment that the two highest representatives of Basque football are experiencing. “In recent years it is more difficult” for Athletic to access Real to sign, he stated in ‘El Larguero’ on Cadena Ser.
Alkorta he argues that “the clauses are getting higher and higher”. Now, nostalgia prevails: “Until a few years ago, Athletic had Real players without any problem.” Asked specifically about two Real stars like Oyarzabal Y Merino, the former Athletic player states that “they are very good players who could play for all LaLiga teams”, underlines that “for us they would be important” and clarifies that “just as important as they are for Real”.
