Newcastle Plans to Sign Athletic Bilbao Player
Thursday 02-10-2025
According to the website "Fichajes", English club Newcastle United has set its sights on Oihan Sancet, the Athletic Bilbao midfielder, and is preparing to make an offer of 70 million euros in the upcoming transfer market to enhance its attacking midfield.

Sancet is tied to his future with Athletic Bilbao until June 2032, after renewing his contract two seasons ago, which includes a release clause of around 80 million euros, strengthening the Basque club's position against any offers below this amount. The player is considered one of the key leaders in the team, contributing goals and assists and forming a crucial pillar in the team's attacking line.

The website pointed out that Newcastle sees Sancet as the ideal element to form a complete attacking trio with Bruno Guimarães and Sandro Tonali, adding more creativity and efficiency in the midfield area. The initial offer from the English club allows for negotiation before activating the release clause or the increase in the player's market value.

On its part, Athletic Bilbao does not plan to facilitate Sancet's departure and will only accept a very suitable offer, while the player has not expressed a desire to move, complicating the deal further.

Sancet would add an important attacking dimension to Newcastle, with his ability to move between lines, create and score goals, and break through tight defenses, which aligns with coach Eddie Howe's style of attacking play.
