Aduriz agrees to another year at Athletic

Experienced striker Aritz Aduriz has renewed his contract with Athletic Bilbao for another year.

The 35-year-old's deal at the San Mames was due to expire at the end of this season, but he will stay on for another campaign after a new agreement was announced by the club on Wednesday.

The contract includes a clause that will force Athletic to accept a bid of €40 million for Aduriz.

He has continued that form this term, finding the back of the net on 12 occasions in his 20 outings to earn a place in Julen Lopetegui's Spain squad for the previous round of qualifiers.

Aduriz came on as a substitute and scored in the 4-0 victory over Macedonia.
