Osasuna makes offer for Dubasin after his Sporting Gijón exit request
Striker Jonathan Dubasin has publicly requested that Real Sporting de Gijón accept negotiations with Osasuna for his transfer. The player, who aims to fulfill his dream of playing in La Liga, stated: «I am the one who wants to leave.» Osasuna has already submitted a second offer exceeding three million euros, totaling around €3.5 million in fixed and variable amounts. However, Sporting values Dubasin’s departure at a minimum of five million euros, plus a percentage of any future sale.
What did Dubasin say in his statement?
In an official statement, Dubasin confirmed that «I have asked for a way out» and that «I must fulfill my dream and that of my family.» The striker also thanked Grupo Orlegi for their wish for him to stay but explained that «if I have the opportunity to play in La Liga, I must take it.»
Why is this important for Osasuna?
Osasuna, which finished last season in 17th place in La Liga with 42 points (11W-9D-18L) and a five-game losing streak (LLLLL), seeks to strengthen its attack. The team, which scored 44 goals and conceded 50 last season, sees Dubasin as an option to improve its squad ahead of the next campaign. Their last match was a 1-0 loss to Getafe on May 23, 2026.
What’s next in this operation?
Dubasin’s move changes the dynamic of a previously stalled operation. Sporting had been reluctant to negotiate, but now the player himself has publicly requested that the club negotiate with Osasuna. Osasuna’s next match will be against Racing Santander on July 24, 2026, at home.
