Jesús Areso Blanco (born 2 July 1999) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a right-back for CA Osasuna.
[2][3] Areso was assigned to Athletic's reserves in Segunda División B, making his senior debut on 2 September 2017 by coming on as a late substitute for Peru Nolaskoain in a 4–0 home routing of Real Unión.
In August 2020, after making the pre-season with the main squad, Areso was demoted to the B team after refusing to agree to a new deal,[5] and spent the entire season without playing a single minute.
[12] On 21 January 2024, having returned to Osasuna, he scored the winning goal in a 3–2 victory against Getafe CF after a cross from the touchline at a distance of over 30 meters (98 ft) curled the other way, finding its way into the net.
[13] Areso made his debut for the unofficial Basque Country national team in May 2019, in a 0–0 draw away to Panama for which a small, youthful and inexperienced squad was selected.
