Remember Juan Bernat? Ex-Benfica man set for a new challenge | OneFootball

Juan Bernat is set to return to action. In recent days, the Spanish defender, who once played for Benfica, was announced as the new signing for Eibar. Thus, as far as is known, the 32-year-old footballer is returning to competition, this time in the Spanish second division.

According to confirmation by the newspaper Record, following an announcement made by the Spanish club, Bernat, who had an unfortunate spell at Estádio da Luz, is back in action, with a new challenge ahead after ending his contract with PSG in the summer of 2025.

In a post on social network X, Eibar announced with great fanfare the arrival of the left-back, emphasizing that Juan Bernat’s arrival will bring a lot of experience and quality to the defense of the club that plays in the Spanish second division. However, the same source did not disclose the length of his contract.

It is worth recalling that Juan Bernat joined Benfica in the 2023/24 season, the one following their championship title win. However, his stint ended up being short-lived, as he was returned to PSG. The Spaniard was one of several signings who left Luz in a short period of time, with only Anatoliy Trubin and Gianluca Prestianni remaining.

In the 2024/25 season, playing for both Villarreal and Getafe, Juan Bernat — valued at 1.5 million euros — played a total of 27 official matches: 24 in La Liga and three in the Copa del Rey. In the 1,131 minutes he spent on the pitch, the left-back recorded two assists.
