Athletic Bilbao striker Oihan Sancet cannot guarantee staying.

Sancet famously signed a nine-year deal with Athletic last year.

But he told Relevo: You never close the doors. You're always going to have the option of being able to leave or for a team to come and sign you, but I don't give importance to that. I've signed a long contract with Athletic and my idea at the moment is to be at Athletic and achieve great things here.

"What will happen in the future no one knows."

On working with coach Ernesto Valverde, Sancet added: "He asks me to be more brainy and to know when I have to go in harder, when I have to go in softer, or when I have to go in at all. And in the end, talking to him, I think I've taken a step forward in that sense. And well, you've seen that I haven't been sent off anymore."
