Real Oviedo targets Castrín loan with option to buy
Real Oviedo has made the first approach to Sevilla FC to sign the Galician defender Andrés Castrín on a loan deal with an option to buy. The young central, who was a rotation player last season, has a proposal from the Carlos Tartiere.
Why is it important for Real Oviedo?
The loan of Castrín would be an excellent acquisition for Real Oviedo, which seeks to strengthen its defense in the 2026-2027 season. With the arrival of Castrín, the team could improve its performance in the league and increase its chances of promotion to Primera División.
What comes next?
Meanwhile, Sevilla FC is trying to renew Castrín's contract, which expires in 2027. The club considers that the defender born in Lugo still has room for growth and has been working on his renewal for months. However, the competition in the defensive line and the need to accumulate minutes could open the doors to a temporary departure in Segunda.
Castrín's balance
Castrín's balance in his first campaign in the elite reinforced his candidacy to continue evolving. He played 19 matches, scored a key goal against Espanyol in the fight for the team's permanence and accumulated 1,276 minutes. With the experience acquired in Sevilla FC, Castrín has become a valuable player for any team.
Transfer market
The departure of the defender would mean a significant economic relief for the club, which would free up more than 4 million euros in salary mass, a key figure to sign new players and reorganize the squad. Meanwhile, Sevilla is also pending the sale of Akor Adams, a deal already agreed with Venezia, but still pending the striker's acceptance of the new contract conditions.
Real Oviedo in the 2026-2027 season
Real Oviedo is currently in 20th place in the league, with 29 points, 6 wins, 11 draws and 21 losses in 38 matches, with a balance of 26 goals scored and 60 conceded (-34 difference). The team is 65 points behind the leaders of the tournament, FC Barcelona.
