Luken Beitia has had a dream season, his second consecutive one. He debuted in Segunda, made a season that helped Sanse to save the category and had call-ups and minutes with the first team, being among those cited for the great Copa final that the club won, living it from inside. Beitia has been a pillar for Ansotegi in Sanse, especially in the initial stretch when Kita was not yet settled. He had to put out fires, be solid, take the ball and bring in knowledge even as captain since he left the 'once' Peru. According to Driblab data, Beitia is the central defender of Liga Hypermotion who has made the most sprints per 90 minutes, over 25.2 km/h, but he is also the central defender who has covered the most distance sprinting per 90 minutes. Considering those who played at least 450 minutes. His course was fantastic. He played 27 games with Sanse, and three more with the first team. Two of them, both league games, were with Matarazzo in charge. The last one, in Cornellà in the last match against Espanyol, was as a starter and full-time. He did well and pleased the coach. The 2004 Elgoibar-born defender is an aspirant to join the first team due to his level and projection, but he won't have it easy despite the departures of Aritz and Caleta-Car. Pacheco is back and, as reported by this medium today, Real has the option of signing two central defenders and not just one. Something that would leave him without a spot in the main quartet of the defensive axis and would force him to stay in Sanse, in principle, with the option to join when necessary because he will still be under-23 for another season. He won't lack options to be loaned out either. Real renewed him in March 2025 until 2029 and there is confidence in him, but we will have to see what his next steps are.
