Lezama's right flank has become congested. The arrival of Jesús Areso at Athletic Club has set off alarms for Hugo Rincón, one of the most promising talents in the rojiblanco academy. Renewed until 2028 and with an outstanding season at Mirandés, his potential is unquestionable. But with three right-backs ahead like Areso, Gorosabel, and Lekue, the club has already informed him that he will be loaned out.

Player's Role

Despite being only 22 years old, Hugo Rincón is a modern full-back: physical, technical, and with good tactical understanding. According to sources close to the club, Athletic wants a loan deal with clauses guaranteeing playing time and rejects transfers or deals with purchase options. He is not a castoff but a mid-term investment.

His ideal role would be that of a full-back with rotating but sustained participation: not a fixed substitute, but with a clear plan for minutes, either in a back four or as a wing-back in a line of five, where he has performed particularly well in Miranda.

Interested Teams

Deportivo Alavés

The most advanced option in terms of negotiations. The Vitorian club has already held talks with Athletic and proposes a loan with guaranteed minutes from the start. Coudet is seeking a full-back with offensive potential and the ability to handle defensive responsibilities in a more defensive set-up.

The role he would have, high probability of starting or direct competition on equal terms. The system favors full-backs who support in attack without neglecting defensive solidity.

Girona FC

One of the keenest suitors. Míchel's team has lost key pieces and needs to strengthen the flanks. Although Arnau Martínez remains on the roster, the Catalan club is considering his departure and is looking for a replacement combining youth with tactical guarantees.

The role he would have, immediate alternative with guaranteed minutes. He would either be the primary right-back if Arnau departs or a prominent substitute if he stays.

RCD Mallorca

The Balearic side needs to bolster the right-back position. Their market focus is on loans with purchase options, although with Rincón they acknowledge that the purchase option is unlikely. They value his performance at Mirandés and his fit in a 5-3-2 formation.

Role, wing-back in a line of five, a role he has already played confidently. It would be a rotation with aspirations for starting based on performance.

Rayo Vallecano and Getafe CF

Both Madrid clubs have shown interest, although without significant progress. They see Rincón as an economic, domestic option with room for growth.

Role: at Rayo, alternative to a very attacking full-back. At Getafe, profile to modernize the right flank.
