Iker Monreal signs contract extension until 2029

Iker Monreal has agreed a new deal to extend his Athletic Club contract until 30 June 2029, with the agreement including an automatic extension clause for the club.

The centre-back initially joined Basconia from CF Ardoi at the start of the 2024/25 season and made his senior debut under Ernesto Valverde last season when called up to provide cover for injuries.

His first appearance came on 4 February 2026, when he started in the Copa quarter-final against Valencia CF. He also started in the first leg of the semi-final against Real Sociedad.

This season, under Edin Terzić, the defender completed pre-season with the first team, featuring in six friendlies, and has been named to matchday squads for La Liga and the Copa fixtures.
