Christian Imga renews contract until 2031

Christian Imga has signed a new deal with Athletic Club which will keep him in Bilbao until 30 June 2031. The agreement also includes an optional extension clause for Athletic.

The 17-year-old forward made his senior debut this season and scored his first goal as a Lion in our Copa first-round match against AE Prat.

Imga, who has been called up to the Spanish Under-17 squad for the World Cup in Qatar, has made tremendous progress since arriving to Lezama from Deportivo Alavés in the 2024/25 campaign.

Last season, he scored eight goals in 24 league appearances for our Under-18s, whilst he also featured in all six UEFA Youth League matches, netting twice.

The winger is currently dividing his time between Bilbao Athletic – where he has already opened his goalscoring account – and first team.

Edin Terzić named Christian in a senior matchday squad for the first time for our abandoned match against Rayo Vallecano at Vallecas, before handing the youngster a debut in our 4-0 victory over Getafe CF at San Mames.
