Real Oviedo Hub
Real Oviedo will begin its preseason on July 6 at the El Requexón facilities, marking the official start of the new project for the 2026/2027 season, the first back in Segunda División after relegation.
What has happened?
The club faces the new campaign with thirteen departures, five new signings, five returns from loan, and Santi Cazorla's renewal still up in the air.
The main block of the squad that will face the new season currently consists of nine players with active contracts: goalkeeper Aarón Escandell; defenders David Costas, Dani Calvo, Nacho Vidal, and left-back Rahim; midfielders Alberto Reina and Luka Ilic; and wingers Ilyas Chaira and Hassan.
Why is it important for Real Oviedo?
The squad's contractual situation is uncertain, which can affect the team's performance in the next season. Santi Cazorla's renewal is especially important, as he is the eternal captain.

What comes next?
