Manex Lozano signs deal until 2030

Manex Lozano has put pen to paper on a contract extension which will keep him at Athletic Club until 30 June 2030, with the deal also including an automatic renewal clause for the club.

The young centre-forward first arrived to Lezama from CD Oberena for the 2023/24 campaign. Since then, Lozano’s progress has been meteoric.

He scored 23 goals in 33 matches for the Under-18s in 2024/25. He started last season with CD Basconia, whilst also competing in the Premier League International Cup and the UEFA Youth League, where he had some outstanding performances and scored six goals in as many matches.

Despite his inexperience, Manex's development led to Real Racing Club de Santander signing him on loan during 2025/26 winter transfer window. At the age of 18, he played four matches and scored two goals in LaLiga Hypermotion, in addition to featuring in a Copa tie against FC Barcelona.

In early February, he suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee during a training session. The striker is now at an advanced stage with his rehabilitation process in Lezama.
