Unai Simon Mendibil (born 11 June 1997) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for La Liga club Athletic Bilbao and the Spain national team.
In August 2020 he signed a new contract with the club running to the summer of 2025, with no buyout clause.
Simon received his first call up to the senior side on 20 August 2020, for the initial two matches of the 2020–21 UEFA Nations League.
