Aimar Bonel returns to Osasuna after short Zaragoza stint
Midfielder Aimar Bonel is back at Osasuna after six months with Real Zaragoza. The 20-year-old, who came through Osasuna's youth ranks, ends his spell at Deportivo Aragón, where he made 10 appearances in Segunda RFEF. The Navarra club confirmed his return to their B team, closing a brief but intense chapter in Aragón.
What happened during his time in Zaragoza?
Bonel joined Real Zaragoza in the winter transfer window last season, arriving from Osasuna's youth setup. During his short stay in the Aragonese capital, the midfielder played 10 games for the reserve team, though he failed to establish himself. Zaragoza thanked him for his commitment and wished him luck in his future career.
Why is his return important for Osasuna?
Bonel's return strengthens Osasuna's B team as the club looks to develop its youth academy ahead of the new season. With the first team finishing 17th in La Liga last season (42 points, 11 wins, 9 draws, 18 losses), bringing back young talents like Bonel is crucial for the future. His Segunda RFEF experience could add freshness and dynamism to the midfield.
What's next for Bonel and Osasuna?
After his return, Bonel will immediately join Osasuna's B team, where he aims to regain top form and prove his worth. Meanwhile, the first team prepares for their next La Liga fixture, a clash against Athletic Club on February 7, 2027, at San Mamés. With Osasuna looking to improve next season, the youth academy will play a key role in the team's project.
