‘Offer’ to try to get Raúl García out of Athletic Club
To their 33 years, Raul Garcia is living a second youth. The Navarrese footballer, arrived at Athletic Club in 2015 from Atlético de Madrid, still in very good shape. Not in vain, in the present season, already adds 13 goals.
The attacker of the Bilbao team signed his renewal until 2021 the last summer. Like other colleagues like Iker Muniain, your contract lacks a termination clause, that is to say, I could go out for free without having to pay any amount to the Basque club. For the tranquility of lion fans, the player himself declared at the signing of his contractual extension: “The fact that there is no termination clause is nothing more than a test of loyalty to the club”.
But nevertheless, the performance and the level shown by the player means that many teams are interested in having their services. One of them is the Dalian Yifang, Chinese Super League team whose first coach is Rafa Benitez.
The resumption of the Chinese championship is scheduled for the end of July and the teams are looking for level reinforcements to improve their squads. Those from Benítez are one of the contenders for the title and have the financial backing of Wanda.
Yes, although the token that the Chinese team can offer to Raul Garcia is higher than what you currently perceive in the Athletic Club, the footballer does not seem to be about to leave because he is very comfortable in Bilbao. In fact, His intention is to continue extending his contract year after year as long as his performance and physical condition is, As minimum, like the current.
Even so, We will have to be vigilant in the coming days in case Chinese money manages to change its mind to one of the fundamental pillars of the current Athletic. The temptation to be able to sign a last big contract for several seasons with a significant salary will be strong.
