Ricardo Barkala inaugurated his headquarters this Thursday morning, "a meeting point with all the partners in which they can transmit ideas and proposals to us and we appreciate it because they enrich the project", indicated the pre-candidate for the presidency of Athletic in front of of an electoral headquarters located in García Rivero, 8, shortly after Iñaki Arechabaleta, the other candidate for the Ibaigane chair, revealed that if he wins on June 24, his goal is to hire Julen Jon Guerrero, son of the former Athletic player and one of the pearls of Spanish football.

«Everything that is likely to be signed by Athletic sounds good to me, from the outset. We have spoken with different technicians, with possible managers for Lezama and players who could be viable for him to join Athletic. We are not yet saying names because it seems reckless to me and especially at this time that we are very focused on what happens on Sunday at the Sánchez Pizjuán", stressed the president of the Port Authority, who defined a possible classification for the Conference League as " great news." Not only from the “psychic” point of view, but also from the economic and financial part, due to the injection that it would mean for the red and white coffers, a minimum of 14 million.

Surrounded by thirty people, Barkala pointed out that it was a "significant" day for the opening of the office in which the necessary signatures will also be collected, 2016, to make his candidacy official. "It's a classic and it's one more step," he celebrated, after recalling that on Tuesday he had already gone to Ibaigane to receive the documentation to present those guarantees.
