Diego Rico
OSA
Sends three crosses in draw
Rico generated one shot (zero on goal), three crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Rayo Vallecano.
Analysis: Rico started on the left side of Osasuna's defense and was replaced by Abel Bretones in the 56th minute. He created an opportunity from a corner in the 27th minute that Asier Osambela sent wide, but he also committed multiple fouls as he struggled to cope with Rayo's intensity. Ultimately, he did little beyond his limited crossing contributions.
Signs with Osasuna
Rico signed a one year contract with Osasuna, the club announced.
Analysis: Rico came through Burgos' academy before breaking into professional football with Real Zaragoza in the second division, later moving through Leganes, Bournemouth in England and Real Sociedad before joining Getafe initially on loan in 2023-24 and becoming an important piece under coach Jose Bordalas in recent seasons. The 33-year-old left back has amassed 185 LaLiga appearances along with 39 Premier League matches and 9 in the Europa League, known for his intensity, ball speed and reliability in duels. Rico is expected to bolster Osasuna's left back options under coach Luis Miguel Ramis this season.
