In a significant move for their defensive stability, Athletic Club has announced that central defender Yeray Álvarez has renewed his contract with the club. The new agreement will keep the 29-year-old at San Mamés until at least June 2028, with the club holding an option to extend the deal for a further year.
Álvarez's previous contract was set to expire on June 30, making this renewal a crucial piece of business for Athletic. The extension is a clear part of the club's strategic squad planning for the next season and beyond, ensuring continuity and experience in their backline.
The Spanish defender, a product of Athletic's renowned Lezama academy, has been a consistent and reliable figure for the first team. His commitment provides a solid foundation for the team's defensive structure moving forward.
