La Liga
Real Oviedo wants to make some noise in their return to the elite of Spanish football, and they are showing this with their strong interest in signing the experienced Argentine full-back Nicolás Tagliafico. The 32-year-old player, who recently ended his contract with Olympique Lyon, is on the radar of the Asturian club, which has started negotiations to try to bring him into their squad. Despite strong competition from Sevilla and several English clubs also being interested, the blue board did not want to be left out of the race.
Tagliafico, who has a vast experience in Europe, is known for his time at Ajax and for being a key player in the Argentine national team that won the World Cup in Qatar 2022. His last season at Lyon, with more than 30 matches played in the league and Champions League, confirms that he still maintains a competitive level suitable for LaLiga. Additionally, he holds an Italian passport, which would facilitate his incorporation as he would not occupy a foreign player spot.
Nicolás Tagliafico, targeted by Real Oviedo
Oviedo is looking to reinforce a position currently held by Rahim and Carlos Pomares, but changes are expected in the short term since the club does not plan to start the season in La Liga with the same names. The preseason begins on July 14 under the management of Veljko Paunovic, and it will be during those weeks when final decisions will be made.
Although the transfer is not finalized and the player's salary demands are high, the "carbayón" club trusts in their ambitious sports project to attract the former Lyon player. The arrival of a player of Tagliafico's caliber would not only strengthen the defense but also send a clear message: Oviedo has not returned to go unnoticed.
