Real Oviedo targets Dani Villahermosa
Real Oviedo has set its sights on Dani Villahermosa, a midfielder from FC Andorra, in an attempt to strengthen its midfield. The club is willing to pay a transfer fee for the player, who was previously linked to the team.
Why is it important for Real Oviedo?
The 25-year-old Catalan player is a versatile player who can play both in a double pivot and as an interior in a three-man midfield. His ability to score goals from deep is a valuable asset for the team.
What's next?
Real Oviedo currently has Reina, Youness, Aldasoro, and Luka Ilic in its midfield, while lex Cardero is being tested by Julin Calero in more advanced positions. Guille Berzal and the young Enzo Prez are also training as pure midfielders.
As of July 22, 2026, Real Oviedo is in 20th place in La Liga, with 29 points, 6 wins, 11 draws, and 21 losses in 38 games. The team is 65 points behind the leaders, Barcelona. The player's release clause is around €2 million, and both parties are negotiating the transfer fee.
The Catalan player, who has been with the club owned by Gerard Piqué for two years, is eager to join the team in the capital of the Principality. Real Oviedo's director of sports, David Fernández, knows Villahermosa well, as the player is a product of the RCD Espanyol youth academy, where Fernández spent most of his career. Villahermosa played 14 years in the Espanyol youth team, made his debut in La Liga against Valencia, and left the club in 2023, with Espanyol retaining a percentage of his rights. He then played for Castellón, led by Dirk Schreuder, and after 32 games in the promotion season, he left in the winter market of the following season to join Andorra, where he has flourished. Last season, he was one of the most valuable midfielders in the Segunda División, playing 41 games -37 as a starter-, scoring 7 goals, and providing 8 assists.
