Osasuna has officially closed the summer transfer window with four new signings and six departures, reshaping the squad of manager Luis Miguel Ramis. The Pamplona-based club invested around 8 million euros to bolster a team that currently sits fifth in La Liga with 7 points from three matches.
Who are Osasuna's new signings?
Striker Jonathan Dubasin arrives from Sporting de Gijón for a fixed fee of 4 million euros, plus variables linked to top-flight survival. The player, who scored 17 goals and provided 4 assists last season, signed a four-year contract until June 2030 with a 40 million euro release clause. Ghanaian winger Rockson Yeboah joins from Swedish side I.F.K. Göteborg for 3 million, with the Scandinavian club retaining a 30% sell-on clause. His deal runs until 2031 and includes a 30 million euro buyout clause.
Left-back Diego Rico joins as a free agent after leaving Getafe, signing a one-season contract with a 10 million euro release clause. French forward Romain Del Castillo is the fourth addition, transferred from Stade Brestois 29 for one million fixed plus up to 450,000 in add-ons. Brest retains a 15% sell-on fee. Del Castillo, who scored 30 goals and made 31 assists in 151 appearances for the French club, signed for two years with an optional third and has a 10 million euro clause.
Which players have left the club?
The most significant departure in financial terms was Víctor Muñoz, whose move to Liverpool triggered his 40 million euro release clause. Osasuna retains 50% of the player's economic rights due to a prior agreement with Real Madrid. Academy product Íker Benito was sold to Mexican side Querétaro for 600,000 dollars for 50% of his rights, with the club holding an option until August 2027 to acquire an additional 30%. Osasuna keeps a right of first refusal on any future sale.
Juan Cruz ended his six-season spell at the club, having made 164 official appearances. Full-back Javi Galán, who joined last December and played 21 games, also departs. Youngsters Anai Morales and Miguel Auría leave on loan without purchase options to UD Logroñés and Mirandés, respectively. To offset these exits, academy players Iñigo Arguibide and Mauro Echegoyen have been promoted to the first team, while Unai Santos and Asier Bonel remain with Osasuna Promesas but are available for the senior side.
How does this affect Luis Miguel Ramis's team?
Manager Luis Miguel Ramis confirmed the arrivals. "Jonathan Dubasin, Rockson Yeboah, Diego Rico and Romain Del Castillo have been the four additions made by the club," the coach said. These signings aim to add goals and depth to a team that has scored 3 goals and conceded just one so far, giving them a +2 goal difference. The side is only 2 points behind leaders Barcelona in a season that has started positively.
The revamped squad now faces a demanding schedule, with a key upcoming fixture against fourth-placed Alavés on September 6th.
