MADRID, July 28 — Osasuna completed its first signing of the summer on Monday, confirming the arrival of forward Jonathan Dubasin from Sporting Gijon for a reported fee of around 4 million euros.
The 25-year-old joins the La Liga club after an impressive campaign in Spain’s second division, where he scored 17 goals and provided four assists for Sporting. Dubasin has signed a four-year contract that includes a reported release clause of 40 million euros. He is expected to help fill the void left by Spain international winger Victor Munoz, who joined Liverpool during the FIFA World Cup. Capable of playing on either flank or in a deeper attacking role, Dubasin offers versatility across the front line. Although he lacks Munoz’s pace, he established himself as a reliable finisher last season.
Elsewhere, Deportivo Alaves continued to strengthen its squad by signing forward Miguel Rodriguez from Dutch club Utrecht. The 23-year-old, who came through Celta Vigo’s academy, enjoyed a productive season in the Netherlands, scoring 10 league goals in 45 appearances and adding two more in the Europa League. Rodriguez returns to Spain looking to establish himself in La Liga after his breakthrough campaign.
