Squad

Ante Budimir in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Osasuna this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Real improvement from Asier Bonel at Osasuna

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Asier Bonel is 18, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad

Ante Budimir reaches 500 appearances

500 games in the shirt. Nobody sets out to build a record like that; it happens to a certain kind of player at a certain kind of club, and this town knows what it has.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Jonathan Dubasin

Successful dribbles: 20. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Player ratings

Aimar in the eights

A performance of 8.04 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

The dugout

No hiding place for Iker Muñoz

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Iker Muñoz, and the manager let it.

Match

Osasuna and Mallorca take a point apiece

It finished 1‑1, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

The dugout

The manager’s verdict

“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Andrés Cabrera was not hiding it after 1‑1, and nobody in the Osasuna dressing room was either.

The dugout

The plan did not have a place for Raúl Moro

Nobody at Osasuna is suggesting he is out of form. The manager simply wanted somebody with a different set of qualities for ninety specific minutes, and there is nothing a player can train to fix that.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market

Flavien-Enzo Boyomo hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Osasuna can pretend not to have heard.

Transfer targets

Mateo Silvetti stays at Inter Miami CF as time runs out

A deal that was a phone call from completion at lunchtime was dead by midnight. Osasuna will try again when the window opens; Inter Miami CF may not be selling by then.

Boardroom

Window shuts: 17 in, 3 out at Osasuna

The deadline has passed and the squad is the squad. 17 arrived, 3 left, and everything else printed about this club last month was a rumour that stayed one.

Market

Rubén García wants to know where this is going

“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at Osasuna hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Dylan Aquino

Osasuna asked and Lanús said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad

Osasuna are still strangers to each other

7 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

Squad

Diego Rico slips down the pecking order

The demotion a club never announces and a dressing room always notices. Diego Rico is further from the side than he was, and the reason will not be given until he asks.

Squad

Hugo Corona makes the team of the month

Four or five weekends of consistency, measured against everybody else in the division. A quieter compliment than an award and a more reliable one.

Squad

Aimar loses the armband

The captaincy has been taken off Aimar. Osasuna will call it a decision about the team; a dressing room reads it as a verdict on a man.

Transfer targets

An offer of $42.0M for Antony

Osasuna have gone to Betis with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Transfer targets

Osasuna make their move for Unai Simón

$27.7M on the table at Athletic Bilbao. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Market

Osasuna get their man

The chase for Hugo Corona ended with $11.1M changing hands and Veracruz out of reasons to say no. The supporters will judge the fee the only way that matters: on Saturdays.

Squad

A move Hugo Corona would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Hugo Corona is living that version at Osasuna, and it tends to show in the first month.

Market

Aimar raises the bar for Osasuna

“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Osasuna heard it as anything else.

Squad

Flavien-Enzo Boyomo stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Flavien-Enzo Boyomo and Osasuna agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Boardroom

Osasuna go back to the board over Antony

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $46.9M — a club that wants Antony enough to be asked twice.

Squad

Ante Budimir in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Osasuna this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

Eyes on Dani González again

The phone has started ringing about Dani González again, and this time the name on the line is Real Murcia. Osasuna are listening politely and promising nothing.
