As the year draws to a close, it's hard not to think about the future. And in the world of football, that means looking ahead to the next few years.

One team that has been on everyone's radar is Athletic Bilbao, who have been working hard to improve their chances of making it into the Champions League next season. The Basque side have made some impressive signings this summer, including the likes of Gorka Iraizoz and Diego Carlos, and they will be hoping to continue their progress under new manager Emilio Butragueño.

But what does the future hold for Athletic Bilbao? According to reports, the club are planning to move into a brand new stadium in the coming years, which would give them even more room to grow and develop. They have also reportedly signed a deal with Amazon Prime Video to broadcast their games online, which could help to increase their fanbase and generate more revenue.

Of course, there are always risks involved when investing in football clubs, but Athletic Bilbao have shown time and again that they are capable of competing at the highest level. With a strong squad and a committed fan base, they could well make it into the Champions League next season - and beyond. It's an exciting prospect for all fans of La Liga, and one that can't wait to see how it all unfolds.
