Athletic Bilbao Competes with La Liga Giants on Limited Resources
The team, which shares the top spot after 3 rounds of La Liga with Real Madrid with 9 points, has not spent much money to strengthen its squad in the transfer market.
The Basque club brought in Jesus Areso from Osasuna for 12 million euros and signed Robert Navarro on a free transfer, hoping to bring back Aymeric Laporte.
On the other hand, players such as Alvaro Diallo, Hugo Rincon, Edu Aris, Julen Agirrezabala, Unai Vencedor left Bilbao, and Pio Canales and Benat Gerenbarina were loaned out.
However, the biggest challenge for Bilbao and its coach Ernesto Valverde is maintaining consistency when the Champions League matches begin, and the pressure increases along with injuries.
