Career

No transfer history

Abel Bretones is CA Osasuna's Bronze Wall. Since arriving from Real Oviedo in July 2024 for a fee of €2.8M, the defender from Langreo has established himself as a reliable presence in the backline. At 26 years of age, he is currently building his body of work in the top flight, looking to secure his first major career trophy with the Navarrese side.

Across 18 appearances and 1,376 minutes of action, his output is defined by Defense, his strongest dimension with a score of 73. Currently, he is searching for rhythm as he goes through a quiet spell, with a form rating of 9 sitting significantly below his season ability of 33. While his defensive solidity is a core trait, he carries the GHOST badge, a reflection of his limited involvement in possession where he averages just 36 touches per 90 minutes. This specialist approach focuses on maintaining Balance and structural integrity rather than high-volume creative output.

Boasting a market value of €4M and a rising trend, Bretones represents a significant long-term investment. His contract running until 2029 ensures stability in a key position, provided he can increase the Stakes of his performances during the club's push for a mid-table finish or better.
