Pamplona club signs versatile left-back on permanent transfer with performance-based add-ons.

Javi Galán

Osasuna Land Galán in Smart Deal

CA Osasuna have reached an agreement with Atlético Madrid to sign left-back Javi Galán on a permanent transfer, as confirmed on December 25, 2025.

The deal is structured as:

  • €500,000 upfront transfer fee.
  • €500,000 in potential add-ons per season that Galán remains with Osasuna in La Liga.

The 30-year-old Spaniard, who joined Atlético from Celta Vigo in 2023 for around €5 million, spent last season on loan at Real Sociedad where he impressed with his attacking contributions from the left flank.

Galán has struggled for minutes at Atlético under Diego Simeone and was deemed surplus to requirements.

Known for his pace, crossing ability, and defensive solidity, Galán adds experience and quality to Osasuna’s backline as they look to strengthen for the second half of the season.

The performance-linked add-ons make this a low-risk, high-reward move for the Pamplona side.

Medical and official announcement expected soon.
