According to Marca, Athletic Bilbao's preseason preparations will begin in a week, marking the first season under new coach Edin Terzic. Terzic has finalized his squad plan and spoken with each player about their playing prospects. The club has also begun acting to complete the first departures before July 6.

Due to an oversized squad, several first-team players have been placed on the departure list. The club hopes to reduce squad size before medical examinations. Athletic Bilbao is listening to offers for players in all positions, and any player deemed non-essential to Terzic's plans can leave.

The goalkeeper position is a prime example. Julen Agirrezabala has greater marketability than Padilla, and more than one club has expressed interest in acquiring him. The goalkeeper was loaned to Valencia this season but missed most of it due to a meniscus injury requiring surgery.

His contract runs until 2027, with the option to extend for two more seasons. Athletic Bilbao included a purchase clause when loaning Agirrezabala to Valencia last season, but Valencia did not activate it. Now the club will evaluate either a direct sale or include additional clauses such as performance bonuses, future resale percentages, etc., provided the asking price does not differ significantly from other interested parties' expectations.
