Club Atlético Osasuna has just made official the signing of left-back Juan Cruz from Elche. The red set will pay the club from Elche 2,750,000 million euros by the player, with a payment of 250.00 euros pending in the event that certain objectives are met. Juan Cruz will sign a contract for three seasons and will have a buyout clause of 15 million euros as long as Osasuna plays in the First Division.
With the end of the transfers of Pervis Estupiñán and Toni Lato, the position of left back was without a doubt one of the weakest of the Navarrese squad. The signing of a guaranteed player in that position was necessary and Juan Cruz, after being important for the rise of Elche, fulfills those expectations.
The Madrilenian has disputed 39 games this season, 35 in the league and 4 in promotion for promotion, in which he has scored a goal and has given 9 assists, a figure that shows that the red fans are facing a long-distance side. Canterano of Atlético de Madrid, Juan Cruz developed a good part of his early career in Italy and in recent years he has experienced great growth passing through San Sebastián de los Reyes, Rayo Majadahonda, Elche and finally Osasuna. At 28, he faces the most important challenge of his career.
