Real Oviedo is moving urgently in a market that has not officially opened yet but is already setting the pace for needy teams.

The Asturian team, last in the table with just nine points, is working against the clock to finalize the arrival of Elías Montiel, the young Mexican midfielder who is set to be the first winter signing for Luis Carrión's team.

Real Oviedo and their bet on young talent

Real Oviedo believes that Elías Montiel can provide immediate dynamism in a midfield that has experienced constant disconnections and lacks associative quality to fit into Carrión's playing style. The deal is well advanced thanks to the structure of Grupo Pachuca, owner of both the Spanish club and Pachuca, allowing for a quick negotiation without administrative obstacles. The plan is for a loan with a purchase option in the summer.

Real Oviedo understands that Montiel's arrival comes at the right time. Pachuca was eliminated from the Play-In of the Apertura 2025, and the player was no longer considered after returning from the U-20 World Cup. This situation provided the Spanish project with a clear opportunity to accelerate his incorporation before other European teams approached.

Elías Montiel and the leap his career awaited

Elías Montiel comes from a decisive year for his development. At just 20 years old, he accumulated valuable minutes in Liga MX, closing the Apertura with a goal and two assists in eight matches. His role with the Mexican U-20 national team also raised his international profile, especially after leading the team to the quarterfinals of the World Cup held in Chile.

Real Oviedo appreciates not only his energy but also his game reading and ability to execute both offensive and defensive transitions. Luis Carrión has requested reinforcements with personality, and Montiel fits that profile. He will compete with Leander Dendoncker, Santiago Colombatto, and Alberto Reina for a spot in the starting eleven, in an area where the team has lacked consistency.

Montiel, a logical bet

The move for Elías Montiel responds to a sporting and structural need. Grupo Pachuca aims to boost Real Oviedo in a critical moment and believes that the presence of promising young players can offer immediate solutions without compromising long-term planning.

Montiel's arrival in Spain sparked rumors about a possible first move to European football, and his current proximity to the Asturian club confirms that the journey was not a coincidence.

Real Oviedo needs urgent responses

Oviedo cannot wait any longer. Thirteen matchdays and only nine points highlight a crisis that requires resolute decisions in shaping its squad. Carrión needs pieces that can compete from the get-go, and Montiel represents precisely that: a player with hunger, physicality, and ambition to establish himself in a more demanding setting.

Elías Montiel could become a footballing stimulus for a squad that has faced tough setbacks and has very little individual quality. The sporting direction believes that his arrival will not only strengthen the midfield in terms of gameplay but will also send a clear message: the club does not resign and will react before it's too late. They aim to stay in the first division after their promotion.

If everything goes as planned, Montiel will be the first step in a necessary restructuring to avoid a devastating relegation. This signing, although young, symbolizes a conscious effort to revitalize a project seeking to regain competitiveness in the closing stages of the season in Spain.
