Jon Moncayola Tollar (born 13 May 1998) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a midfielder or right-back for La Liga club Osasuna.
Club career
Moncayola was born in Garínoain, Navarre, and was a CA Osasuna youth graduate having joined the club aged 10. Not initially marked out as a top prospect, he made his senior debut with the farm team in the 2017–18 season, in Tercera División; during that campaign he also appeared with the reserves in Segunda División B, and spent the next season with them but at the lower Tercera level following relegation – they regained their Segunda B status at the first attempt.
On 3 June 2019, Moncayola renewed his contract with the Pamplona club until 2021. He made his professional – and La Liga – debut on 17 August 2019, starting in a 1–0 away defeat of CD Leganés.
On 28 November 2019, Moncayola further extended his contract until 2024, and scored his first professional goal three days later, netting his team's third in a 4–2 away defeat of RCD Espanyol.
On 8 June 2021, Moncayola signed a new ten-year contract with Osasuna, running until June 2031. Osasuna also confirmed that his release clause would be €22m (£18.9m) for the next two seasons, before being reduced to €20m for the eight following campaigns, and €8m if the club was relegated. In the 2021-22 season, he gained more experience with the red team, becoming the second player with the most minutes played on the squad.
International career
On September 3, 2020, he made his debut with the Spanish under-21 team in a friendly match for the President of Spain against the North Macedonia national team. Moncayola featured in all three of Spain's U-21 group stage fixtures at the European Championship in March 2021. He missed the knock-out stage of the tournament in May 2021 due to testing positive for COVID-19.
In July 2021, he was called up to play in the Tokyo Olympics. In that tournament, he played four matches, coming on as a substitute.
