Oviedo is considering signing a right-back: these are the options

The umpteenth misfortune in the form of an injury, very serious in this case, has been followed by a “movement of unemployed players”, a definition by Álvaro Cervera, in the Carlos Tartiere offices during the week. The blow has already been assimilated by the club’s rectors, who are now considering the possibility of signing someone to replace the Madrid native. The club can take advantage of a League rule to sign after the deadline, only in the case of free players, and the entity evaluates the advantages and disadvantages of bringing in an unemployed player.

The situation facing the club is identical to the preseason with Álex Millán. In the case of serious injuries, La Liga allows you to sign a replacement, using 80% of the unfortunate player’s transfer to expand your cap. To take advantage of this option, Oviedo must request a medical report from the La Liga medical commission to certify that it is a long-term injury, in addition to processing the federation withdrawal. You must do so within 20 days of the incident causing the misfortune. And, after doing so, the club will have 15 days to register a new player. In total, Oviedo would have about 35 days to sign a replacement for Mario. By completing all the procedures, the blue club would see the limit increased by 80% of the injured party’s salary.

In the event that the market does not offer interesting opportunities or that the club decides not to move, there would still be the option of waiting until January and signing there. The problem is that the aid of 80% of Mario’s salary would disappear, but the club keeps that alternative open since it left salary space at the close of the summer market (it did not exhaust the limit imposed by the League) and would also have the advantage of being able to incorporate footballers with a contract in another club. That is, grounded players.

That is the dilemma that Oviedo faces at the moment: sign now or wait until January. Asked about the situation yesterday, Cervera expressed his doubts about the convenience of bringing in a player without a team. “An unemployed footballer is not an immediate solution because they have not played for several months. You have to think about it a lot. Also, consider doing it with a more versatile footballer who is not just a winger…”, he explained in the Tartiere press room. The debate, then, is on the table.

Oviedo evaluates pros and cons, while offers from agents begin to arrive at the office. Being able to place a footballer without a contract in an attractive club like Oviedo is sweet. Hence the multiple calls.

This is how proposals have arrived such as that of Jordi Calavera, a 28-year-old right back without a team after his time at Lugo last year. It is not an operation that a priori seduces the Carbayona entity. A more interesting profile is that of Rui Filipe Caetano Moura, Carraça, 30 years old, who is looking for a team after terminating his contract with Porto in August. Carraça can play on both sides and last season he played 26 games for Gil Vicente, in the Portuguese first division, where he played on loan from Porto. As in all cases of free players, the main problem lies in the inactivity of this footballer profile, which does not make them immediate solutions.

Collateral damage. Another direct consequence of the injury of the former Rayo player points directly to the conditions of his contract. The Madrid native committed to Oviedo last summer, after the Vallecano team closed their doors on him. He signed a contract with the blues for one year plus another conditional on objectives: 25 games playing at least 45 minutes. Now, it will be impossible to reach them and it will have to be Oviedo and the footballer who decide whether to expand that bond or not.

The situation that the club faces is identical to that at the beginning of the preseason with the injury of Álex Millán. In the case of serious injuries, La Liga allows you to sign a replacement, using 80% of the unfortunate player’s transfer to expand your cap. To take advantage of this route, Oviedo must request it from the employers, which evaluates the case in a medical committee before giving approval. The club has 20 days to submit the application and the relevant evidence. There is an important nuance: the deadline applies to the request, but not to the signing of the substitute.

That is, within these 20 days, Oviedo must ask for an increase in the salary cap (80% of Mario’s salary) but they have two possibilities: sign a replacement immediately (unemployed player) or wait for the winter market. , where this increase in the cap would be maintained and players with a contract with another team could be eligible. As the club left itself some salary space compared to the summer market (it did not exhaust the salary limit imposed by the League), it would represent an interesting growth spurt when looking for a player.
