Athletic Bilbao president Josu Urrutia is confident of keeping hold of Kepa Arrizabalaga.
The goalkeeper, off contract in June, is interesting Real Madrid.
However, Urrutia insists Kepa is close to penning new terms, declaring: "I do not think we will take a lot of time before we have a definitive position.
"We have to take it and I hope it will be positive."
Included in the new deal proposed is a buyout clause of €100m.
