amorebieta Bolsters Attack with Loan Signing of Aimar Vicandi
Facing a five-point deficit in the relegation battle,Amorebieta wasted no time in making their first move of the January transfer window. The Basque club has secured the loan signing of young attacker Aimar Vicandi from Athletic Bilbao until the end of the season.
Vicandi, who turns 20 in February, previously spent the first half of the season on loan at Barakaldo. Though, he struggled to find consistent playing time under manager Imanol de la Sota, accumulating less than 300 minutes across eighteen league matches.
This move marks a fresh start for the promising forward, who boasts an impressive scoring record. Last season, Vicandi netted 14 goals for Basconia in the Tercera federación, and two seasons ago, he tallied 20 goals for Athletic’s Juvenil A side.
Amorebieta’s head coach, Natxo González, hopes Vicandi’s arrival will provide a much-needed boost to the team’s attacking prowess.
the signing of Vicandi is just the beginning of a busy transfer window for Amorebieta. Reports suggest that Eric Pérez, who recently returned to Eibar from a loan spell at Alcorcón, could be the next player to join the club.
Meanwhile, departures are also expected. Julen Jon Guerrero, who rejoined Amorebieta at the start of the season, is set to return to Alavés after struggling to make an impact. Guerrero has been sidelined for nearly two months due to a persistent pubic injury.
amorebieta’s proactive approach in the transfer market demonstrates their determination to climb out of the relegation zone. With several key additions and departures anticipated,the coming weeks will be crucial in shaping the club’s fortunes for the remainder of the season.
