Athletic Bilbao continues to enjoy its vacation, except for the four players who will compete in the upcoming World Cup –Iñaki and Nico Williams, Aymeric Laporte and Unai Simón–, and the sports management has intensified its work in the offices with the aim of fulfilling as many requests as possible that Edin Terzic, the new red-and-white coach, has been able to transmit as a substitute for Ernesto Valverde. Nothing or almost nothing is known about the German's intentions, although it is expected that next Tuesday Mikel González, the football director who will appear alongside the president Jon Uriarte, will give some clues about the project for the upcoming campaign, which will become a comeback for Beñat Prados, who will practically complete a year without competing in an official match. The Navarrese player only played the second and third league matches of the last course, against Rayo Vallecano and Betis, and a few days after the duel in La Cartuja he broke his left anterior cruciate ligament that has forced him to stay eight months in the dry dock. For Beñat Prados it will be a new start and he will do it in front of Terzic, who, a priori, counts on the Iruñea player, a footballer who fits the profile required by the plan of the Menden coach, a coach who demands a high pace of play, a lot of intensity in personal duels and a richness in tactics, instructions that fit the characteristics of the young midfielder, but who assumes that he will have to redouble his efforts after such a long inactivity, to which is added the increased competition in the wide area, with the emergence of Alejandro Rego, benefited by the absence of his teammate, and with the step forward that Peio Canales has taken in his loan in Racing. Precisely, the case of the latter is similar to the player who arrived in Lezama in cadet age from Txantrea KKE, since this one revalued himself in Mirandés in the 2022-23 campaign also in Segunda División to earn a place in the first team and convince, then, Valverde, who counted on the Navarrese player until he suffered the fateful injury in September. Not in vain, the Iruñea player has 80 official matches in his two seasons and a month as a lion, some data that portray the interesting role he has played in the squad until the moment of his injury. The previous campaign was the most intense for the midfielder, who participated in a total of 45 matches, 13 of them in the European League, with a card of two goals, so he must maintain at least that level to become a fixed player for Terzic, who will manage a high number of players in the wide area, so it is understood that the German will decide some other cut. Whatever the case, Prados, who did not play in the already closed course despite being included in the call-up due to the visit to Real Madrid in the final league match, will alternate days of leisure with others destined to strengthen his preparation for the start of the pre-season, scheduled for the second week of July, in which he must produce a version 2.0 that convinces Terzic, who is fond of varying his systems of play, but in which the figure of the so-called pivot retains its relevance.
