Avilés CF Transfer News: Miguel Linares Reveals Final Squad Moves and New Signings

Real Oviedo’s sporting department is finalizing its roster adjustments as sporting director Miguel Linares outlines the club’s remaining moves in the transfer market, centered on securing two under-23 players—including Santi Franco—and orchestrating a loan exit for Pablo Álvarez.

Miguel Linares Details Final Roster Additions for Real Oviedo

Real Oviedo is nearing the finish line of the current transfer window with clear objectives to round out its squad. According to statements from club sporting director Miguel Linares, management is actively working on a pair of late acquisitions to complete the roster configuration for the remainder of the campaign.

“We are pending a couple of additions, and with that we are going to close the squad,” Linares said regarding the club’s ongoing market operations.

The strategy involves integrating under-23 talent to provide depth and long-term upside. Among those incoming young prospects is Santi Franco, a move initially reported by regional outlet La Nueva España. Club officials anticipate that securing these two developmental roster spots will mark the conclusion of their business in the window.

Pablo Álvarez Slated for Departure on Loan

While incoming arrivals occupy the sporting department’s immediate focus, outgoing adjustments remain equally vital to managing squad balance. Real Oviedo is actively seeking a temporary loan destination for midfielder Pablo Álvarez to ensure he secures consistent competitive minutes elsewhere.

The planned loan move for Álvarez, first detailed by La Nueva España, forms the final component of the club’s roster management strategy. By finding a suitable landing spot for the young player to gain senior experience, the blanquiazul outfit clears the necessary pathway to finalize its squad composition without excess roster congestion.

With these pending under-23 signings and the outgoing loan arrangement for Álvarez near completion, Real Oviedo’s sporting leadership expects no further activity, effectively drawing a close to their window strategy.
