Osasuna halts right‑back deal as Budimir's contract future remains uncertain

Osasuna stopped negotiations with Burgos CF over 22‑year‑old right‑back Álex Lizancos after Athletic Club offered defender Andoni Gorosabel, leaving the transfer stalled and the player's options limited.

At the same time, the club faces uncertainty over striker Darko Budimir, who is entering the final year of his contract. No renewal proposal has been accepted and no firm offers have materialised, meaning he could leave on a free transfer after the season. Budimir said, “I enjoy being at the club and feel very attached to Osasuna,” but acknowledged the lack of a clear path forward.

Both situations highlight Osasuna's immediate squad concerns ahead of the upcoming competition, with the right‑back position and the striker’s future being key issues for the team.
