Real Oviedo have completed the signing of midfielder Daniel Villahermosa from FC Andorra on a contract running until the summer of 2029. The 25-year-old, who came through Espanyol's academy, arrives after establishing himself as one of the standout performers in LaLiga Hypermotion last season with seven goals and eight assists in 41 league appearances.
What’s behind the move?
Villahermosa’s arrival adds quality and attacking threat to Real Oviedo’s midfield ahead of the new campaign. The player, who made his La Liga debut for Espanyol in 2022 before spells at Castellón and Andorra, impressed with his late runs into the box, vision, and versatility during his time in Andorra. His contribution last season - 15 goal contributions in 41 games - highlights his ability to impact matches in multiple ways.
Why does this signing matter for Real Oviedo?
With Real Oviedo finishing 20th in La Liga last season on 29 points (26 scored, 60 conceded, -34 goal difference), the club needs creative midfield options to break their recent run of five winless games (LLLDL). Villahermosa’s profile fits the need for energy and goal threat in transition moments, something Oviedo lacked in key moments last term. The deal, running until 2029, reflects the club’s commitment to building a competitive squad under Héctor Fort.
What’s next for the club?
Villahermosa will join Real Oviedo’s pre-season group as they prepare for the new campaign. The club hopes his arrival will add balance between build-up play and late surges into the box. With the 2025-26 season on the horizon, Oviedo aim to move away from relegation concerns and push for higher targets after finishing 65 points behind Barcelona last year.
