🚨 Breaking news: Atlético Madrid announce another departure | OneFootball

The winter transfer market is starting to heat up in Spain. Atlético de Madrid and Club Atlético Osasuna have formalized an agreement this Wednesday for the permanent transfer of Javi Galán, who will leave the "colchonero" squad to immediately join the Navarrese side.

The left-back from Extremadura thus closes a year and a half chapter linked to the Madrid club, which he joined in the summer of 2023 from RC Celta.

Career and record at the Metropolitano

Despite arriving with high expectations, Galán's time was marked by a lack of consistent playing time in Diego Simeone's system. During the 2023/24 season, the defender was loaned out to Real Sociedad, where he regained his competitive edge. After returning to Atlético, he managed to rack up a total of 56 official appearances wearing the red-and-white shirt.

A new challenge in Pamplona

With this move, Osasuna adds experience and depth to their left flank. The transfer represents a golden opportunity for the player to reestablish himself as a starter in La Liga, within a system that usually favors full-backs with strong attacking runs. The Madrid club, through its official channels, thanked the player from Extremadura for his professionalism and wished him success in his future personal and professional endeavors.
