Real Oviedo is determined to strengthen its midfield with a significant name. The Oviedo club is negotiating with Greek Panathinaikos to secure the services of Nemanja Maksimovic, an experienced Serbian midfielder with a history at Valencia and Getafe. The player, who would welcome his return to Spanish football, has shown full willingness to facilitate his arrival, even accepting a significant reduction in his salary.
According to EstadioDeportivo, Veljko Paunovic, the Oviedo coach, has indicated the Serbian international as one of his priorities for the new project in La Liga. Maksimovic, who still has two years left on his contract in Greece, is pushing to unlock his departure while Oviedo seeks to lower the two million euros demanded by Panathinaikos for his transfer.
Maksimovic wants to return to Spain
The relationship between the player and coach plays a key role in this move. Furthermore, the idea of returning to a competition he knows well and where he performed at a high level motivates him especially. At 30 years old, Maksimovic still has football to offer, and his experience would be a quality leap for the Asturian team.
The midfielder played 19 matches last season with the Greek team, scoring two goals and providing an assist. He also participated in the Conference League, reaching the round of 16. In Oviedo, they believe his signing would be a real market opportunity and are working intensively to turn that desire into reality.
