Real Oviedo joins the race for José Fontán Real Oviedo has entered the race for 25-year-old left-footed defender José Fontán, alongside Granada CF and Real Sporting de Gijón. The center-back, trained in the RC Celta de Vigo youth academy, is a key target to strengthen the Asturian team's defense in LaLiga Hypermotion. Fontán, currently playing for FC Arouca in the Primeira Liga, stands out for his versatility, ability to play as a left-back, and aerial dominance. His experience in high-level competitions makes him an attractive profile for all three clubs. ## What does Fontán bring to Real Oviedo? The 25-year-old left-footed defender would provide defensive solidity and playmaking to Real Oviedo. His left foot and vision make him a modern player, capable of splitting defenses with vertical passes. At Arouca, he has shown maturity and consistency, qualities that the Asturian club seeks for its defense. ## How does competition from Granada and Sporting affect the deal? The race for Fontán has intensified, with Granada CF leading the negotiations. However, Real Oviedo and Sporting de Gijón remain interested, which could drive up the transfer fee. The LaLiga Hypermotion market is unforgiving, and losing momentum could cost Real Oviedo a key reinforcement. ## What's next in the negotiations? According to sources, Granada CF is trying to close the deal as soon as possible. Real Oviedo, meanwhile, is assessing its position and waiting for the right moment to make a bid. The competition between the three clubs promises to keep Fontán in the spotlight this summer transfer window.
