Javi Galán signs with CA Osasuna after leaving Atlético de Madrid

The clubs Atlético de Madrid and CA Osasuna formalize the agreement for left-back Javi Galán to change teams. This move concludes the player's brief stint in the capital and opens a new chapter in his career in Pamplona. ⚽

Cycle concluded at the Metropolitano

Javi Galán joined Atlético less than a year ago, coming from Celta de Vigo. During his stay, the defender failed to secure a spot in the starting eleven, participating in a limited number of matches. The transfer operation is negotiated and closed today, allowing the player to seek continuity in another project.

Details of his red-and-white stint:
"Now he swaps the red-and-white for Osasuna's red, hoping to find at El Sadar the minutes that were elusive in Madrid."

Defensive reinforcement for the Navarrese team

CA Osasuna seeks to strengthen its defensive line and identifies Galán as an ideal profile. The 29-year-old full-back brings experience in the first division and his usual offensive deployment down the left flank. The club trusts that the player will integrate quickly into its tactical scheme.

What Galán brings to Osasuna:

A new beginning at El Sadar

The footballer leaves behind a short period in Madrid, where many fans doubt if he ever settled in. With this transfer, Javi Galán changes scenery and focuses on earning a place in Jagoba Arrasate's eleven, with the goal of proving his worth in the upcoming season. 🔴
