Juventus interested in Unai Simón
Athletic Bilbao's goalkeeper Unai Simón has attracted the attention of Juventus, who are looking to sign the Spanish player during the summer transfer window. According to 'Football Italia' citing 'Tutto Mercato Web' and based on information from 'Rai Sport', Juventus is preparing to sound out Athletic Bilbao regarding the possibility of signing Simón, who is valued at around €25 million.
Why is it important for Athletic Bilbao?
The interest of Juventus in Unai Simón is not just a rumor, as the Italian club is looking for a new goalkeeper after the lack of confidence in Michele Di Gregorio during the pre-season preparations. Athletic Bilbao, on the other hand, is determined to keep Simón in the club, as he has renewed his contract without a release clause.
What comes next?
The situation is complicated for Juventus, as Simón is a highly skilled player who has demonstrated his value in the Spanish national team, where he has been the starting goalkeeper in the 2026 World Cup victory, where he also received the Golden Glove award after conceding just one goal throughout the tournament.
Currently, Andoni Gorosabel and Dani Vivian are sidelined and cannot participate in the season.
What does it mean for Athletic Bilbao?
The interest of Juventus in Unai Simón is a blow for the Basque club, as they lose one of their best players. However, Athletic Bilbao remains determined to keep Simón in the club and to continue being one of the strongest teams in La Liga.
The situation is complicated, but Athletic Bilbao is prepared to face any challenge that comes their way. The club remains one of the strongest in the league and is determined to continue being competitive in the upcoming season.
