Iker Muniain is in the market since he announced last week that his link with Athletic would end on June 30. He has nothing closed, his first intention was to close the stage in Bilbao, and his idea about the future is to leave the League and Europe. There are many options. Ignacio Villarroel, second vice president of River Plate, was put on the table the name of Muniain in the program ‘Guardia Alta’ given the interest that the 10 rojiblanco has always shown for the Argentine entity.

Iker Muniain has announced his departure from Athletic after 15 seasons in the first team, many of them as captain. He has communicated the decision to the squad in the Lezama gym, shortly before training. The captain had to interrupt his speech due to the emotion since his last days at Athletic are not being easy. The footballer has cried at that moment and before resuming the talk with the squad he has received the embrace of De Marcos. Muniain will continue his career in another league, because his intention is not to face Athletic in an official match. River Plate, a club he is passionate about, would allow him a special adventure at 31 years of age.
