Avilés Futbol Club has filled its quota of 18 senior players for the current campaign and is now shifting its recruitment focus to the under-23 market to strengthen its attack. According to club reports, the team seeks to sign a new center-forward and a winger, while the defensive line will not be reinforced at this time.
Under-23 Market Strategy Following Senior Quota Completion
The Asturian club has officially closed its window for senior acquisitions after the signings of Isi Gómez and Julián Mahicas. These additions brought the squad to the maximum limit of 18 players over the age of 23 allowed under current regulations. With the senior core established, the club must now operate within the more restrictive parameters of the sub-23 market to finalize the roster.
Targeting Offensive Reinforcements
Miguel Linares, the sporting director, is specifically scouting for a center-forward and a winger.
Among the profiles under consideration is Santi Franco, a striker from Rayo Cantabria. Franco is being monitored following a campaign in which he scored seven goals. While Linares has made inquiries regarding the player’s availability, the club has not yet finalized or “tracked” a formal operation to secure his signature.
Roster Management and Tactical Implications
The club continues to negotiate the final details of its squad composition.
