“I always wanted to see him on the pitch of San Mames” – The father of the signing of the Athletic Club is happy with the move

It's only March, but Athletic Club have already secured their first signing for next season, which is Alvaro Djalo. The 24-year-old winger, who grew up in Bilbao, has agreed a deal to join in the summer from Portuguese side Braga.

For Djalo's father, it is a very proud moment. He revealed that it was always his dream to see his son join Athletic, and this has become a reality, as per Relief.

“There is a lot of emotion. I always wanted to see him down here, on the San Mames field. I really liked that he signed, everyone is happy. He is a boy who works hard and we are going to continue.”

Djalo has already played, and scored, for San Mames, having featured for the Basque national team during their recent friendly with Uruguay. Athletic Club hope he can do the same for them for many years to come.
