Peio Canales

Born in Barrika, Biscay, Basque Country, Canales joined Athletic Bilbao's youth setup in 2016, from hometown side Barrika FE. He made his senior debut with the reserves on 3 September 2023, coming on as a late substitute in a 0–0 Segunda Federación away draw against UD Logroñés. Canales spent most of the campaign with the B-team, scoring his first goals on 25 November 2023, by netting a brace in a 4–0 home routing of CD Tudelano. On 16 April 2024, he renewed his contract until 2027. He only featured once with the farm team CD Basconia, a 3–0 home loss to Club Portugalete in the 2024 Tercera Federación play-offs. Canales made his first team – and La Liga – debut on 29 September 2024, replacing Álex Berenguer in a 1–1 home draw against Sevilla FC. The following 15 August, he was loaned to Segunda División side Racing de Santander for the season.

Canales is a Spain youth international, having represented the under-18 side. He has played with the under-19 for the 2024 UEFA European Under-19 Championship qualification matches, and scored a goal in a friendly match against Norway. He received his first call-up to the Spain U21 in August 2025 for the 2027 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualification and made his debut as a substitute against Cyprus. He was later included in the Spain U20 squad for the 2025 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Chile.
