Juan Cruz

Juan Cruz is CA Osasuna's Bronze utility player. Having joined the club in 2020 after a journeyman career that included a developmental spell in Italy, the Madrid-born defender has established himself as a reliable fixture at El Sadar over the last four seasons.

This season, Cruz is building his body of work as a versatile contributor across the defensive line. While his Dribbling score of 46 shows he retains the ability to carry the ball under pressure, he is currently searching for rhythm as he goes through a quiet spell. With 593 minutes across 12 appearances, his presence has been more functional than dominant, earning him the GHOST badge for his low involvement in active play. His form is on a cooling trajectory, yet he remains a key part of the squad's tactical Balance when the manager needs to tighten the defensive shape.

With a market value of €2M and a downward trend, Cruz is transitioning into a veteran role where his primary value is stability. In matches where the Stakes are high, his positional discipline provides a safety net for a side looking to maintain its status in the top half of the table.
