OSASUNA NEWS

Ruben Pena - Transfers to Osasuna Pena has signed a one-year contract with Osasuna after transferring from Villarreal, the club announced Friday.

Impact Pena never quite broke into the starting XI at Villarreal, but he tallied a combined three goals and three assists across his first two campaigns with the club before making just seven La Liga appearances in 2021/22. The 30-year-old is now joining Osasuna for next season, where he will compete with Jesus Areso to be Nacho Vidal's backup at right back.

Lucas Torro - Extends contract with Osasuna Torro has signed a five-year contract extension with Osasuna, the club announced Thursday.

Impact Torro became a starter in Osasuna's midfield last season with one goal in 33 La Liga appearances (32 starts), and the 27-year-old has just signed on with the club through the 2026/27 campaign.

Kike Garcia - Takes shot off bench in loss Garcia subbed into last weekend's match against Mallorca in the 63rd minute, and he took a shot and made a clearance in the 2-0 defeat.

Impact Garcia made 33 La Liga appearances (18 starts) this campaign, but only five of those starts came in 2022 as Ante Budimir took over from him as the starting center forward. But four of his six goal involvements on the season (five goals, one assist overall) also came in that span, so the 32-year-old will likely continue being utilized as an impact substitute in the future.

Ante Budimir - Takes three shots against Mallorca Budimir took three shots (one on target) and made a block in last weekend's 2-0 defeat against Mallorca. He also won one of one tackles in the match.

Impact Budimir took over as Osasuna's first-choice center forward around the turn of the calendar year, and he tallied seven goals and two assists in 20 La Liga appearances (17 starts) since the start of 2022. At 6 feet, three inches, the 30-year-old is an effective target whether in a front two alongside either Kike or Chimy Avila or if he's leading the line himself.

Javi Martinez - On bench in season finale Martinez was an unused substitute in last weekend's defeat against Mallorca.

Impact Martinez roughly doubled his playing time this campaign, tallying a goal and an assist in 26 La Liga appearances (nine starts). The 22-year-old will continue to develop next season but will still likely be more of a backup option whether he ends up playing more in central midfield or on the right wing.

Ezequiel Avila - Creates two chances against Mallorca Avila took a shot and created two chances in last weekend's 2-0 defeat against Mallorca. He also won one of three tackles in the match.

Impact Avila bounced back in his first full season after recovering from back-to-back torn ACL's in January and then in September of 2020, tallying six goals and an assist in 36 La Liga appearances (22 starts) in this campaign. The 28-year-old moved out wide to the right wing from center forward starting around February, and it may be in that position where his future in Osasuna lies.

Kike Barja - Comes off bench in season finale Barja subbed into last weekend's match against Mallorca in the 63rd minute, and he took a shot and won one of one tackles in the 2-0 defeat.

Impact Barja scored two goals in 21 La Liga appearances (nine starts) this campaign, which is a significant decrease in playing time compared to 2020/21. The 25-year-old was mostly stuck behind Chimy Avila and Ruben Garcia on either wing, but he will head into next season wanting to push for more consistent minutes with Osasuna.

Ruben Garcia - Creates chance in loss Garcia made two clearances and created a chance in last weekend's 2-0 defeat against Mallorca.

Impact Garcia tallied a goal and six assists -- a personal record for him in a La Liga campaign -- in 37 appearances (30 starts) this season mostly on the left wing. His contract with Osasuna runs through 2024 so the 28-year-old will be back next season and ready to do it all again, though he will want to return to the scoresheet himself more often after netting 11 times in total across 2019/20 and 2020/21.

Jon Moncayola - On bench in season finale Moncayola was an unused substitute in last weekend's defeat against Mallorca.

Impact Moncayola solidified himself as a locked-on starter in Osasuna's midfield this campaign, as the 24-year-old tallied two goals and three assists in 36 La Liga appearances (33 starts).

JUNE 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Lucas Torro - Takes shot in loss Torro made a block, three clearances and an interception in last weekend's 2-0 defeat against Mallorca. He also took a shot in the match.

Impact Torro made 33 appearances (32 starts) in Osasuna's midfield this campaign, and he scored his first ever La Liga goal in an October win against Villarreal. The 27-year-old should remain a mainstay in the lineup heading into next season.

JUNE 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Jonas Ramalho - Takes two shots in loss Ramalho took two shots and made a clearance in last weekend's 2-0 defeat against Mallorca. He also made an interception in the match.

Impact Ramalho made just his third start of the season in La Liga last weekend, and the 28-year-old is set to leave the club in the summer after just one campaign in Osasuna.

Jesus Areso - Comes off bench in season finale Areso subbed into last weekend's match against Mallorca in the 75th minute and he won one of one tackles in the 2-0 defeat.

Impact Areso made his first appearance since October last weekend after recovering from a long-term ankle injury. The 22-year-old will want to return fully fit next season so that he can properly challenge Nacho Vidal for Osasuna's starting right back position.

JUNE 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Nacho Vidal - Out for season finale Vidal was not involved in last weekend's defeat against Mallorca.

Impact Vidal kept 10 clean sheets and recorded an assist in 35 La Liga appearances (33 starts) as Osasuna's undisputed first-choice right back this season.

Jose Angel - Returns to lineup in loss Cote (illness) took a shot and created a chance in last weekend's 2-0 defeat against Mallorca. He also made two clearances in the match.

Impact Cote tallied a goal, an assist and a clean sheet across 23 La Liga appearances (12 starts) this campaign. His outlook for next year depends on whether Manu Sanchez returns to Osasuna for yet another loan season at left back, in which case Cote would likely remain his backup.

JUNE 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Manuel Sanchez - On bench in season finale Sanchez was an unused substitute in last weekend's defeat against Mallorca.

Impact Sanchez ends this campaign in Osasuna with one goal, three assists and seven clean sheets in 33 La Liga appearances (25 starts), a marked improvement from last season. The 21-year-old mostly at left back with the occasional start farther up the pitch, but he is still unlikely to find much of a spot at parent club Atletico Madrid even though his loan stint is set to expire in the summer.

JUNE 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Unai Dufur - Out for season finale Dufur was not involved in last weekend's defeat against Mallorca.

Impact Dufur made one La Liga appearance this season -- a start in a 2-0 defeat to Celta Vigo in January -- as the 23-year-old center back spent more time with the reserve team than with the senior team.

JUNE 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Aridane - Returns to bench in season finale Aridane was an unused substitute in last weekend's defeat against Mallorca.

Impact Aridane missed five months from October-March with a calf injury, meaning he finishes the campaign with just three clean sheets in 15 La Liga appearances (12 starts) for Osasuna. The 33-year-old will want to win back his starting spot in central defense alongside David Garcia next season.

JUNE 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Unai Garcia - Takes shot in loss Garcia took a shot and won one of two tackles in last weekend's season finale against Mallorca. He also made a block, six clearances and an interception in the match.

JUNE 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Juan Cruz - On bench in season finale Cruz was an unused substitute in last weekend's defeat against Mallorca.

Impact Cruz ends the season with six clean sheets in 23 La Liga appearances (22 starts), and the 29-year-old featured more often in central defense than he did as a left back.

Roberto Torres - Plays 18 minutes in finale Torres played 18 minutes during Sunday's 2-0 loss to Mallorca and did not log any relevant stats.

Impact Torres was never quite in favor during the season, starting only six times in 28 appearances -- after three consecutive seasons as a regular starter. The midfielder finished the campaign with two goals from 15 shots and two assists from 24 chances created, plus 80 crosses.

David Garcia - Makes three clearances in loss Garcia created one chance, made one interception and three clearances and picked up a yellow card in Sunday's 2-0 loss to Mallorca.

Impact Garcia made the second-most clearances for his side, but they ended up with the home loss after conceding twice in the second half against a desperate Mallorca side. The centerback also received his eighth yellow card of the season. He finished the campaign with four goals from 31 shots, plus 28 tackles, 52 interceptions, 166 clearances and 12 clean sheets in 35 appearances (35 starts).

Darko Brasanac - Creates two chances in loss Brasanac registered two chances created, two crosses (one accurate), one interception, one clearance and a yellow card in Sunday's 2-0 loss to Mallorca.

Impact Brasanac co-led his side in chances created, but it wasn't enough to earn at least one point at home in the finale. The midfielder also received ninth yellow card in the proccess. He completed the season with one goal from 17 shots, two assists from 29 chances created, 27 crosses, 35 tackles and 25 interceptions in 35 appearances (27 starts).

MAY 25, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sergio Herrera - Makes four saves in finale Herrera made four saves during Sunday's 2-0 loss to Mallorca.

Impact Herrera could not avoid the home loss, conceding twice in the second half, as they had nothing to play for in the last round of the season. The goalkeeper finished the campaign with 102 saves, 12 clean sheets and 48 goals allowed in 36 starts.
