Next season, La Liga will have one less veteran on the pitch.
Details: Athletic Bilbao legend Óscar De Marcos has decided that the current season will be his last.
The 35-year-old right-back officially informed his teammates of his decision during this morning’s training session.
De Marcos, a product of Alavés’ academy, has been playing for Athletic since 2009. He has made 560 appearances for the Basque club, scoring 39 goals and providing 65 assists.
He holds the record for the most appearances in Athletic Bilbao’s history. By the end of the season, he will have the chance to further extend his numbers.
