Unai Nunez

Unai Nunez Gestoso (Basque: [unai nuɲes̻]; Spanish: [ˈunaj ˈnuɲeθ]; born 30 January 1997) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a centre back for La Liga club Athletic Bilbao and the Spain national team.

Club Career

Born in Sestao, Biscay, Basque Country and raised in neighbouring Portugalete, Nunez joined Athletic Bilbao's Lezama academy in 2007, aged ten. He made his debut as a senior with the farm team in the 2015–16 season, in Tercera Division.

On 7 June 2016, Nunez was promoted to the reserves, freshly relegated to Segunda Division B. He immediately became a starter for the side, appearing in 33 matches and scoring three goals during the campaign.

On 2 June 2017, Nunez was called up to the main squad for the pre-season by new first team manager Jose Angel Ziganda. He made his first team – and La Liga – debut on 20 August, starting in a 0–0 home draw against Getafe CF.

On 30 October 2017, after already becoming a regular starter, Nunez renewed his contract until 2023, with a €30 million buyout clause.
