Andoni Gorosabel to leave Athletic this month as LaLiga suitors circle | OneFootball

Andoni Gorosabel will leave Athletic Club this month after falling out of favour under Edin Terzic. The right-back has not featured at all in pre-season as the coach has reshaped the side.

Terzic wants his full-backs to provide the width and has turned to Jesús Areso and Hugo Rincón for that role. Gorosabel began pre-season injured, then returned to fitness but remained out of the picture, and is set to choose a new destination inside the next 20 days.

He has two years left on his contract and a valuation of three million euros, according to Transfermarkt. A defensive specialist, he offers a different profile to Terzic’s brief but has been a dependable performer in LaLiga, with hundreds of appearances and a strong stint at Real Sociedad.

El Correo reports interest from across the division, from historic clubs to more modest sides, with Racing de Santander among the options. Racing have just signed goalkeeper Julen Agirrezabala from Athletic and want Gorosabel as they adapt to the top flight.

Those involved view a departure as the best outcome for all parties.
