The football season brings new hopes, especially for teams stepping up. Real Oviedo, fresh off their promotion to Spain’s top league, La Liga, is already busy. They are building a squad to compete at the highest level. Their ambition is clear: they are looking at some big names.
One name drawing attention is Zaidu, a defender from FC Porto. Reports from Spain suggest that the two clubs are talking about a transfer. However, our own information at Record tells a different story. Things have been quiet since Oviedo made their first move. They offered FC Porto a simple, free loan for Zaidu. FC Porto quickly said no. This shows that getting players of Zaidu’s quality won’t be easy for the newly promoted side.
Zaidu isn’t the only FC Porto player on Oviedo’s shopping list. The club also has eyes on Marko Grujic, the Serbian midfielder. It makes sense, as Grujic is a favorite of Oviedo’s coach, Veljko Paunovic. Paunovic, who is also Serbian, clearly trusts his compatriot’s skills. This connection could be a key factor in Oviedo’s push to strengthen their team for the upcoming challenge in La Liga.
