Athletic Club Plans Loan of Aimar Duñabeitia to Tenerife

Athletic Club is preparing a loan move for 23-year-old centre-back Aimar Duñabeitia to CD Tenerife for the 2026-27 season. The arrangement is being discussed ahead of the upcoming campaign. Duñabeitia is regarded as one of the promising players from Athletic's reserve side. The young defender has attracted attention for his performances with the B team. A loan would give him the chance to play regularly in LaLiga Hypermotion, the second tier of Spanish football. Consistent minutes are seen as essential for his continued development. CD Tenerife would add a defender with potential depth to their squad for the season. The club is expected to benefit from his athletic profile and defensive abilities. Athletic hopes the experience will accelerate Duñabeitia's growth and prepare him for future first‑team opportunities. The club views the loan as a strategic step in his career pathway. The deal remains under negotiation and no final agreement has been reached yet. Both clubs will continue talks to finalize the terms.
