Real Oviedo signs Carlos Fernández to strengthen its attack Real Oviedo has confirmed the signing of Carlos Fernández, as reported by LA NUEVA ESPAÑA. The 30-year-old striker arrives after a standout season at Mirandés, where he scored 16 goals in 35 matches. The Asturian club aims to improve its attack after a tough campaign in LaLiga, finishing 20th with just 29 points (6 wins, 11 draws, and 21 losses). ## Why is this signing key for Oviedo? Carlos Fernández revived his career at Mirandés after a knee injury stalled his progress at Real Sociedad. His goal-scoring ability and Primera División experience make him an ideal reinforcement for Oviedo, which needs more efficiency in front of goal. Additionally, his profile as a penalty-area striker complements Chris Ramos, giving Calero more tactical options. ## What is the striker's career trajectory? Carlos Fernández began his career at Sevilla, making his Primera debut at just 17. He played for teams like Deportivo de La Coruña, Granada, and Real Sociedad, where he scored 13 goals in his best season. His time at Mirandés allowed him to regain his best form, netting 16 goals in Segunda División. ## What's next for Real Oviedo? With the arrival of Fernández, Oviedo adds another reinforcement in a hectic week, alongside Juan Cruz and Villahermosa. The club aims to consolidate itself in Segunda and avoid another relegation. After scoring 26 goals and conceding 60 last season, the team needs more defensive solidity and more goals to compete.
