Angeliño, a 29-year-old Spanish left-back and player for AS Roma, is very close to becoming a new player for Dépor. The Galician club has reached a verbal agreement for his incorporation, and the next step will be the exchange of documents before the final signature, an operation that could be completed in the coming days. 

The move represents a new boost for the market of the Coruña team, which continues to strengthen its squad after returning to La Liga. Although the economic conditions of the agreement have not been disclosed, negotiations among all parties are well underway, with only the final administrative procedures remaining to formalize the signing.

Angeliño will strengthen Dépor in their return to La Liga

The arrival of Angeliño corresponds to Dépor's intention to increase the competitive level of a squad that will face a demanding season in La Liga. The Galician defender would also return to a club where he developed in the youth ranks before starting his international career. 

After stints in leagues such as the English, German, Turkish, and Italian, the player would bring experience to a team that has combined youth with experienced signings in this summer transfer window. The operation is already in the final phase, and no significant obstacles are expected for its completion.

The verbal agreement leaves the negotiation pending solely the exchange of documentation between AS Roma and Dépor. If no unforeseen events arise, the full-back will be able to join the blanquiazul team shortly to start his adaptation before the start of the season.

Dépor accelerating a market marked by Aubameyang's arrival

The potential signing of Angeliño adds to an ambitious plan by Dépor, who already made a splash with the arrival of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, a 37-year-old forward who signed for two seasons after leaving Olympique de Marseille. 

The arrival of the Gabonese international raised expectations around the sporting project, and now the club is also looking to reinforce the defensive line with a player who knows Spanish football and has experience in European competitions. The mix of experienced players with young talents is part of the strategy designed to face the return to the top flight. 

Although the term "bombshell" often accompanies these types of market moves, the sports context explains the interest of the Galician club. The signing of Aubameyang already represented a media boost for the project, and the arrival of Angeliño would add a proven player to strengthen a priority position in the squad.

Angeliño, pending only the signature

With the verbal agreement already sealed, the next step will be to complete the document exchange between AS Roma and Dépor to proceed with the signature. If the administrative process progresses as planned, Angeliño will become one of the last reinforcements for the Galician team and will be available to join the team dynamics for the start of La Liga.
