Three more years
The local-born player has added three years to his previous deal to commit himself to the Basque club until 2010. Athletic have also inserted a €24m buy-out clause into the terms.
Del Horno departure?
The 23-year-old played 19 games for the San Mamés side during the 2004/05 season but may now make the left-back slot his own, with Spanish international Asier Del Horno likely to leave the club this summer. Athletic, who finished ninth in Spain's Primera División, will play in the UEFA Intertoto Cup.
