Oihan Sancet

Oihan Sancet is Athletic Club’s Bronze Wall, standing as a generational cornerstone of the Bilbao project. A proud product of the youth system with a career defined by loyalty, the 26-year-old has already secured four major trophies, headlined by the historic 2024 Copa del Rey triumph. His long-term commitment is reflected in a contract that secures his future at the club until 2032.

Operating as a hybrid between a defensive anchor and a midfield engine, Sancet’s Workrate rating of 54 highlights his relentless energy across the pitch. Across 16 appearances and 1,063 minutes this season, he has established himself as a non-negotiable presence in the starting eleven. While he is searching for rhythm during a quiet spell in front of goal, he remains a consistent THREAT, averaging nearly two shots per 90 minutes. This tactical Balance allows him to stabilize the midfield while posing a constant danger from deep, even as he works to rediscover his clinical peak form.

Valued at €60M, Sancet’s market standing remains elite, reflecting his role as one of the premier midfielders in the league. The Stakes are always high when he steps onto the pitch, as his physical presence and technical quality often dictate the outcome of a high-pressure crunch match at San Mamés.
