Gorka Guruzeta extends his contract with Athletic Club for 4 more seasons, until June 2028. It was an expected announcement, but it is now official. The Basque club have thus ensured that they will keep their main striker and top scorer for a few more seasons.
Athletic had a unilateral option to extend the commitment for one more year according to variables for matches already played, but they wanted to reach a broader and more consensual agreement.
Guruzeta is having an exceptional season. He is the top scorer of the team, equal with Inaki Williams with 10 goals in 26 games. He has earned his place in the starting line-up through good play and determination in the opposition's box.
Athletic Bilbao's general manager Mikel Gonzalez said of the deal: "He is the perfect striker for our style of play. Brilliant tactically, he always chooses well where to position himself. He is clinical in the box and has improved his movement in the final yards. In short, he is a very complete striker and a very valuable asset for us. This is great news and guarantees us a great striker for the next few years".
