Athletic pays 70,000 euros in Liga and UEFA fines
Members back Jon Uriarte's accounts by a wide majority: a 152.6 million budget and a squad whose market value fell 37%.
Athletic Club members approved on 28 October the accounts presented by Jon Uriarte's board by a wide majority, with a budget of 152.6 million euros for the current season. Management of last season drew more criticism, according to Mundo Deportivo.
On the sporting side, Uriarte admitted the Liga goals were not met, although the team reached the Copa semifinals and competed in the Champions League. The squad's market value fell 37%, sitting between the levels of 2022-23 and 2023-24. Among the achievements he cited were keeping talent, including three world champions, and Lezama as a top-level centre.
As an outstanding issue, the club paid 70,000 euros in Liga and UEFA fines for disrespect in 2025-26, and failed to approve the peñas regulation.
