Ante Budimir, a 35-year-old forward and one of the best players at Osasuna, now has a 12 million euros release clause since August 2. Until the 1st of August, he could leave the club for 8 million euros, but no team submitted a formal offer within that period.

The change was included in the last renewal of the Croat, whose contract will expire on June 30, 2027. The amount is not returning to the previous 20 million euros because the player requested a reduction entering the final year of his contract.

Ante Budimir's clause increases from 8 to 12 million euros

The reduced 8-million-euro clause was active during part of the transfer market. That period ended on August 1 without any of the clubs linked to the forward making the payment.

From now on, any entity interested in Ante Budimir will have to negotiate with Osasuna or pay the 12 million euros established in his contract. The difference compared to the previous figure is 4 million euros, an increase that strengthens the negotiating position of the Navarrese club.

The player's agent has explored potential destinations during the summer, but those efforts have not resulted in official proposals. Budimir remains an Osasuna player, and unless there is a move in the coming weeks, he will play his seventh season in Pamplona.

The forward's age has not diminished his sporting weight. Budimir turned 35 on July 22 and concluded the 2025/26 season with 17 goals in LaLiga, a record that placed him third among the top scorers in the Spanish championship.

Osasuna considers a new renewal

Osasuna regards Budimir as a priority despite his contract entering its final term. The club informed him several months ago about the possibility of extending his deal, although there is still no agreement to extend it beyond 2027.

The forward has expressed his intention to stay in Pamplona on various occasions, despite receiving offers, including from clubs like Barcelona. This stance, alongside the absence of firm offers, makes his stay the main scenario before the start of the new LaLiga season.

Budimir joined the Navarre-based club in 2020, initially on loan from Mallorca. One year later, Osasuna exercised a buying option of 8 million euros, making the Croatian the club's most expensive signing in history at that time.

Since then, the forward has broken several records in Spain. In March 2025, he became Osasuna's top scorer in La Liga and finished that season with 21 goals, the highest tally by a Osasuna player in a single top-flight season.

The departure will depend on a formal offer

The new price keeps a potential deal open, but it requires interested parties to raise the amounts mentioned until August 1. Osasuna does not plan to sanction a move below 12 million euros as long as the forward remains a key part of their plans.

The next step will be to see if any of the clubs contacted by his agent turn interest into an offer. Without an offer meeting the new clause or convincing Osasuna, Ante Budimir will start the LaLiga season as an Osasuna player and will delay the decision on a possible contract extension.
