Due to lagging behind in the Spanish premier league this season, Bilbao "Athletic" is strengthening - Ibai Gomez is returning to the team.
The 29-year-old forward has successfully defended the honor of the "Alaves" team for the past three years. The team from Vitoria is fighting for entry into the Champions League this season, but I. Gomez's return to "Athletic" was not prevented by that.
It is announced in an official statement that "Athletic" will sign a three and a half year contract with the player. The deal will cost the Bilbao team about 3.5 million euros.
This season, I. Gomez played 19 matches for "Alaves" and scored three goals.
A Basque player who usually plays in the striker position arrived at "Athletic" in 2010. Initially, he played for the second team, and from 2011 to 2016 he began to play regularly in the first team.
I want to tell you something and I think this is the best way to do it...
