Osasuna Faces Possible Departure of Jon Moncayola

Osasuna faces uncertainty as Jon Moncayola's potential departure looms. The candidate for the presidency of Athletic, Barkala, takes for granted the signing of the Navarran if he is elected president of the Bilbao club.

What has happened?

Last year, there were already rumors of Athletic's interest in signing one of Tajonar's jewels, Jon Moncayola. In an attempt to prevent the player from leaving Osasuna, the club extended his contract until 2031 and increased his release clause from 12 to 22 million euros.

Why is it important for Osasuna?

The news fell in Pamplona like a bomb, with reactions of all kinds; from those who have shown indignation, to those who do not believe Barkala's words, to those who do not see the departure of the Navarran as a problem if he really pays his release clause.

What comes next?

First, we will have to see if Barkala becomes the next president of the Bilbao club. He himself has hinted that everything is already agreed with Moncayola in case it happens. In Osasuna, they know that if Athletic pays his clause, they will not be able to do anything to retain the midfielder.
