Eibar announced a surprising signing this Thursday, securing the services of Juan Bernat, the former Benfica left-back. The 32-year-old left-footer had been without a club since last summer after ending his contract with Getafe, and he has now signed a contract valid until the end of the current season, with an option for one more year. 📝 La SD Eibar y Juan Bernat han alcanzado un acuerdo para la incorporación del lateral izquierdo hasta el final de la presente temporada. #Beti Armaginak ⚔️ The Valencia-born defender, who made only seven appearances for the Eagles in the 2023/24 season while on loan from PSG, has already completed the usual medical examinations and will immediately join training under the guidance of Beñat San José, becoming the first and only signing for the Basque club, which competes in the Spanish second division, during the winter transfer window. In an official statement, Eibar describes Bernat as a "fast left-back with a clear offensive vocation and a remarkable ability to reach the opponent's area," also highlighting his "depth on the left flank and his ease in providing assists." Trained in the youth ranks of Valencia, the club for which he played 74 official matches for the first team, Juan Bernat boasts an enviable resume. Throughout his career, in addition to Benfica, PSG, and Getafe, he has represented Bayern Munich, along with a stint at Villarreal. His trophy cabinet includes a total of 17 official titles, among which stand out four Bundesliga titles and three German Super Cups with the Bavarians, as well as four French championships with the Parisians. Bernat has also been capped 11 times for the senior Spain national team.
