Real Oviedo returns to the First Division after 24 years. Carlos Tartiere will once again host top-level matches after a long wait. The entire city is filled with excitement.
The new season will be demanding from day one. The Asturians will fight to stay in a very competitive league. They know they'll need much more than excitement.
To achieve this, they are planning an ambitious transfer window. They want to strengthen every line with experience and talent. The goal is to build a solid foundation from the start.
Lunin received the call from Oviedo: he'll stay at Real Madrid this season
One of the biggest hopes was the return of Andriy Lunin. The Ukrainian goalkeeper already left a good impression during his loan spell years ago. The fans were asking for his return.
According to leaks, there were talks to consider a new loan. However, Lunin has decided to stay at Real Madrid as Courtois's backup. There won't be a return to Tartiere.
Despite the goalkeeper's refusal, Oviedo isn't giving up. Other interesting names are still being mentioned to strengthen the project. The plan isn't stopping.
Its new target also played for Real Madrid and could arrive as a free agent this summer
An unexpected name has emerged in recent hours. It's a striker who also experienced the atmosphere at Bernabéu. A figure known by many Madridists.
The news has surprised many because of the footballer's profile and experience. It's not common for a newly promoted team to aim for this kind of reinforcement. However, Oviedo is serious.
Moreover, he could arrive as a free agent, which would make the deal easier. His addition would raise the group's attacking level. Talks are already underway.
Luka Jovic: the striker now strongly linked to strengthen Oviedo in its return to the elite
We're talking about Luka Jovic, the Serbian forward who signed for Real Madrid in 2019. He arrived with a goal scorer's reputation after shining in Germany. However, he never managed to settle in Madrid.
After several loans and transfers, he is now out of contract. This makes him a very interesting opportunity. Oviedo has shown interest and has already made a move.
In terms of experience, Jovic would represent a step up in quality. He brings presence in the box, mobility, and a goal-scoring instinct. He can be key in close matches.
Oviedo keeps its ambition intact despite Lunin's rejection: Jovic excites Tartiere
Although Lunin's return didn't happen, Real Oviedo is still dreaming big. They don't want to be just a guest in the First Division. They aim to build something lasting.
Luka Jovic represents that leap they need to compete. A name that can attract attention, but also contribute on the field. His arrival would send a strong message.
Oviedo is back, doing so with ambition. Fans, history, and now signings that excite. Tartiere is already counting down the days until the return.
