Iker Muniain made one of the most surprising and courageous decisions of his career after leaving Athletic Club: instead of accepting lucrative offers from Saudi Arabia, he chose to fulfill a lifelong dream and cross the Atlantic towards Argentina, where he signed with San Lorenzo de Almagro. The Navarrese prioritized emotion over money and made it clear that his motivation has always been real football, the one that is felt in every corner of South America.

Had great offers from Arabia

The attacking midfielder had been contemplating his departure from San Mamés since before the Copa final in April 2024. After multiple lost finals and a diminishing role in Ernesto Valverde's scheme, he felt it was time to close a cycle. And although he had discussions with Saudi clubs, he was firm with his agent: he was not willing to leave for money, as it was not what he sought at this stage of his career.

In the documentary "Pibe Muniain," aired by Movistar+, it is revealed that his inspiration comes from figures like Bielsa, Maradona, and Messi. Muniain wanted to experience football as they do in Argentina: with soul, with dedication, with a vibrant crowd. Despite the initial doubts generated by his signing, San Lorenzo welcomed him. Today, he is the captain and leader of the team. His challenge is clear: to win a title and leave his mark. Because, as his friend Iñaki Williams says, "Iker is driven by passion, not fame or money."
