Real Oviedo is close to finalizing a new signing for their attack

Real Oviedo

After a first half of the season with 13 points and only 9 goals, Real Oviedo is looking for firepower. With the support of Grupo Pachuca, the sports management has set its sights on Jacobo González (28), an attacking midfielder or winger from Córdoba. The blue-and-whites have already expressed their intention to sign him and are willing to pay the transfer fee. Negotiations between clubs and player have progressed a lot during this afternoon.

The situation is pressing for all parties. With a contract until June 30, Córdoba must decide whether to sell now and earn a return or keep him until the end of the season, risking his departure on a free transfer. In Oviedo, the operation is gaining strength: they are not the only interested party, but the "carbayones" are the ones who have bid the most so far. The club's priority is clear: goals and more presence in the final third after a first half with little success.

In this scenario fits Jacobo González, who has scored 5 goals in half a season in the Second Division. Last season, he already scored 9 goals and provided 6 assists under Iván Ania's command, confirming his impact in the category. His contribution in set pieces is another factor that entices the coaches of Real Oviedo, in need of options to boost the offensive line. The Oviedo team has been working on the operation from Asturias, although the outcome will ultimately depend on the roadmap set by Grupo Pachuca and the decision of Jesús Martínez, the conglomerate's owner.
