Muniain re-signs for Athletic until 2017

Iker Muniain and Athletic Club de Bilbao have agreed that the Navarrese player will wear the club's red and white shirt until June 2017. The extension to the contract was announced by the club chairman, Josu Urrutia, who underlined that "it's good news, it's an exciting year for everyone".

In addition to the re-signing, the striker's buyout clause goes from 37.5 to 45 million euros. Aged 21, Muniain is a product of the Athletic academy.

Last season he played in 39 matches and scored 9 goals.
