Athletic Bilbao defender Jon Aurtenetxe has said that he expects both Fernando Llorente and Javi Martinez to remain at the club next season.
Aurtenetxe, who has become a central figure for Athletic, admits that he was disappointed with how 2011-12 ended. However, he maintains that it was still a great season for Marcelo Bielsa's side, and sees neither star leaving the club this summer.
"Losing two finals leaves a bad taste in the mouth," he told Goal.com.
"[Llorente and Martinez] are two great professionals who are looking forward to the European Championship. I do not think Athletic losing both finals will affect their futures at the club. We had a great season."
Meanwhile, manager Marcelo Bielsa's future at San Mames remains unresolved.
