Athletic Bilbao striker Asier Villalibre signs new deal

Athletic Bilbao striker Asier Villalibre has put pen to paper on a new two-year deal, keeping him with the club until June 2025.

The 25-year-old, whose previous agreement was going to run out at the end of the current season, first came to Lezama 11 years ago to play for the Under-15s.

The footballer signed the agreement on Friday morning at San Mamés in the presence of Club president Jon Uriarte and Mikel González, general director of football.

"Extending my contract with Athletic, the team I support, brings me great joy and fills me with pride," Asier told the Club.

"I've been here since I was young. There have been some good moments and others not so good. But I feel the Club trusts me, just as I trust in myself and in Athletic, which is the most important thing."
