Guibelalde transferred to Grasshopper | OneFootball

According to as.com, Manex Guibelalde is heading to the Swiss Super League after Athletic and Grasshopper de Zurich agreed his transfer from Bilbao Athletic, with the Basque club retaining a percentage of any future sale.

The 22-year-old arrived last summer from Real Sociedad B alongside Eder García, who is now on loan at Córdoba and scored on his debut last weekend. He made 24 appearances in Primera Federación for Bilbao Athletic last season, without being a regular under Jokin Aranbarri, now in charge at Eibar.

A positional midfielder standing over 1.90m, Guibelalde was pivotal in Real Sociedad B’s promotion to Segunda División. Brought on in the 72nd minute for Astiazaran, he converted the extra-time penalty that delivered the decisive blow against Nástic de Tarragona.

The move to the Zurich club is framed as a step up in his career. Grasshopper de Zurich are long established in Swiss football.

Athletic thanked Guibelalde for his commitment during his time at Lezama and wished him the best in his personal and professional future.
