Unai Núñez, a central defender previously linked with Benfica, has joined Athletic Bilbao for the 2024/25 season on loan from Celta de Vigo. The Spanish defender, aged 27, returns to the Basque club, where he was developed and played for five seasons.

Unai Núñez is the player most likely to leave the club, according to the cited source. His destination could be Athletic, where he was trained.

Unai Nunez is ready to transfer from Celta Vigo to Athletic Club.

Athletic Bilbao is determined to strengthen their defense before the transfer window closes this Friday. They have decided to bring back Unai Nuñez, who played the last two seasons at Celta. Athletic Bilbao will cover the full salary of the central defender to secure his loan from Celta. Celta paid around 8 million EUR for his transfer this summer. Nuñez signed a contract with Celta until 2029, and Athletic Bilbao has the option to buy him in June 2025.
