Iker Muniain leaving Athletic Club?
Muniain, who has spent 15 years at Athletic, has announced publicly that he will not continue with the club after this season.
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. He also considers participating in the American League and does not rule out, although it is not currently a priority in the search for a destination, joining an Asian tournament.
