Osasuna midfielder Moncayola signs 10-year deal

LaLiga side Osasuna on Monday announced that midfielder Jon Moncayola has signed a new 10-year deal with the club.

The 23-year-old, who came through the club's youth set-up, made 41 appearances for Osasuna last season and also featured in all three of Spain's under-21 group stage fixtures at the European Championship in March.

He missed this month's knockout stages due to a positive Covid-19 test.

Osasuna also confirmed that his release clause will be €22 million for the next two seasons, before being reduced to €20 million for the eight following campaigns.

If the club are relegated to the Segunda, it goes down to eight million euros.

While unusual, these kind of long-term contracts are not unheard of in Spain. Atletico Madrid midfielder Saul Niguez signed a nine-year deal in 2017, while that same year Andres Iniesta was given a 'lifetime' contract by Barcelona.
