Bilbao may sue Bayern over signing

NEW HOMES

Get caught up with all the movers and shakers from this past summer's transfer window.

Athletic Bilbao president Josu Urrutia says the club is considering legal actions against Bayern Munich over its acquisition of former player Javi Martinez.

Bayern paid Martinez's $50 million buy-out clause last Wednesday, a day after the Spain international traveled to Munich to undergo a routine medical.

Urrutia said he is examining legal options because ''the player underwent the medical check with the German club without (Bilbao's) approval.''

Striker Fernando Llorente did not leave before Friday's transfer deadline despite saying he would not renew his contract when it ends after this season.

Urrutia hopes the Spain striker will change his mind and remain with the Basque club.
