Osasuna has expressed interest in Real Sociedad's 28-year-old Spanish left-back, Aihen Muñoz, to reinforce their left side following the departure of Javi Galán. According to reports from Navarra, Osasuna's sporting management is looking for a low-cost defender on a loan or free transfer who would accept a manageable salary to compete with Abel Bretones. Muñoz fits this profile, especially after a season where he did not have a prominent role under Pellegrino Matarazzo, and the return of Javi López is set to increase competition at his current club. While his top-flight experience makes him an attractive option, the potential operation is in a very early phase and is currently considered a remote possibility in Pamplona. Osasuna has not made a final decision on a move. The player has not received any formal notification of the interest and is now focused on the recently started pre-season with Real Sociedad. His contract with Real Sociedad expires on 30/06/2027, and his current Transfermarkt market value is €2.50m.
