Spain Under-21 international Juanfran has signed a four-year deal with Osasuna after being released by Real Madrid, the two clubs said on Tuesday.

Osasuna said on their Web site that Real would have an option to reclaim the midfielder for the first two years of his contract if he were to be required for the first team squad.

Juanfran played on loan at Espanyol last season, helping the Barcelona-based side reach the final of the King's Cup although he was on the bench when they beat Real Zaragoza in the final.

He will join former Real Madrid reserve team striker Roberto Soldado at Osasuna who will be playing in the UEFA Cup this season after losing out to Hamburg SV in the Champions League third qualifying round last week.
