Real Oviedo has been busy in the transfer market since earning promotion through the play -offs, while trying to make their return to La Liga a successful one. After a 24-year absence of the Top Division of Spain, Los Carbayones will have one of the most intense atmosphere in La Liga next season in the Tartiere of Nuevo Carlos.
The problem that all Oviedo fans wanted to see was a contract renewal for Santi Cazorla, in which the 40-year-old confirmed that he would live the dream to bring his boy's club back to La Liga. He is already accompanied by new signing sessions Luka Ilic, Ilyas Chaira, whose loan was made permanent, Alberto Reina, Brandon Domingues, Horatiu Moldovan and Salomon Rondon, who returns to Spain to play with Cazorla 13 years after falling in Malaga.
On Monday, Oviedo announced that they would take ex-liverpool midfielder Ovie Ejaria on trial. A former English Youth International, Ejaria has had a heavy enchantment with knee problems, which means that he has not played since 2022. The 27-year-old midfielder, who can play on the left or in the middle, has officially terminated his contract with reading in January 2024.
When he came through the Academy in Liverpool, he was one of the most promising talents in Anfield for some time and spent time on loan in Sunderland and Rangers. After two loan spells at Reading, in 2020, the royals spent € 3.9 million on Ejaria.
That enchantment of his career was perhaps his best and probably explains his trial period in Oviedo. The current Oviedo coach Veljko Paunovic is known to have spent 18 months together in the Madejski Stadium, a spell in which Ejaria played 53 games under the Serbian, scored five goals and gave five assists.
