Real Oviedo has made a firm decision regarding the winter transfer market and is preparing significant changes in its squad. The blue club will end the loan of Salomón Rondón prematurely, a move directly linked to the new sporting directives set by the coaching staff and ownership.

The Venezuelan forward is not part of Guillermo Almada's plans, who has communicated to the club the need to free up an important spot to gain financial flexibility. In this context, Grupo Pachuca, owner of Salomón Rondón's rights, is already working on terminating the loan to conclude his time in Asturias.

Real Oviedo and an unsuccessful bet

The arrival of Salomón Rondón at Real Oviedo raised high expectations due to his experience and international trajectory. During the first half of the season, the striker had prominence and was a constant presence in the starting eleven.

In numbers, Salomón Rondón played 16 league matches, started in 13 of them, and accumulated over a thousand minutes on the field. However, his offensive contribution fell short, with only two goals, an insufficient record for the new coaching staff.

At Real Oviedo, they acknowledge that the performance did not meet expectations and that the continuance of the forward did not fit into the new sporting roadmap.

Almada sets the course at Real Oviedo

Almada's arrival has brought about a clear change in the planning of Real Oviedo. The coach prioritizes more dynamic profiles in attack and has been explicit in requesting financial space to reinforce key positions.

The departure of Salomón Rondón allows the club to free up one of the highest salaries on the squad and facilitates the registration of reinforcements that are already being worked on for January, as reported by FútbolFantasy.

The winter transfer market as a turning point

With this operation, Real Oviedo accelerates the search for a new forward who fits better into the planned playing style and can provide immediate performance.

The sports management considers this winter market pivotal to adjust the squad and compete with greater guarantees in the second half of the season.

While Salomón Rondón prepares to find a new destination, Real Oviedo progresses in a necessary restructuring to bring stability to the project.
