Terzic to start season with 32-player squad

Athletic has released the list of 32 players who will be available to Edin Terzic for the 2026-27 season, according to MARCA. Many of them will operate from the B team but will train regularly with the first-team setup, competing if not called upon by the manager.

The main headline is Vencedor's departure. The player, returning from a loan spell, will terminate his contract to pursue a fresh start elsewhere. The club has decided to exclude him from this season's roster, effectively closing the door on his future at San Mamés.

Gorosabel in limbo

Gorosabel remains on the books despite being absent from all preseason friendlies. The full-back has two weeks left to find a move away; the club is working on a sale or a loan with a purchase option to free up his registration. The squad features academy prospects like Gift, Hierro, Monreal, Selton and Johaneko, who will take on different roles. Santos completes the group as third-choice goalkeeper, with all of them set to train regularly and feature for Bilbao Athletic as needed.
