Athletic Club legend Iker Muniain reaches an agreement in principle with the new club

Athletic Club legend Iker Muniain he can still get the move he has been dreaming of since he decided to leave Los Leones, although there is still work to be done. The latest report is that he has reached an agreement with Argentine giants River Plate.

The 32-year-old was out of contract this summer, and after lifting the Copa del Rey as captain of his boyhood club, he decided to leave, although he took a secondary role under Ernesto Valverde. As a professed fan of El Millionario, that was always suggested as a potential destination. According to BrandMuniain reached an agreement in principle on terms with River to sign with them.

However, some things still need to fall into place. River currently have all five foreign player slots filled, and manager Martin Demichelis is yet to give the green light to the deal. River should have moved someone first.

Muniain has already had a unique career at Athletic, and joining River would certainly be an incredible move. While Muniain was no longer a starter for Valverde, his competition was Nico Williams and Oihan Sancet, both of whom have been part of the Spanish team in recent months, and in the case of the winger, play a leading role in the Euro 2024.
