Guillermo Almada will have a complex process with Real Oviedo of the Spanish first division. The Uruguayan strategist aims to keep this newly promoted team in LaLiga. With the transfer window just days away, Almada hints at a move to Mexican striker Elias Montiel. Real Oviedo has struggled offensively. The Spanish side has the lowest scoring rate in LaLiga, managing only 7 goals in the first 17 matches of the Spanish league season. In Guillermo Almada's first match in charge, Oviedo could only manage a draw. Furthermore, reflecting the club's overall performance this season, "Los Carbayones" played to a 0-0 draw at home. Real Oviedo needs to start scoring as soon as possible. Almada's team has a responsibility to begin finding the back of the net. The transfer market presents a good opportunity for the club to acquire reinforcements that will help them climb out of their second-to-last position in the standings. Elias Montiel has been linked to the club, and Almada was questioned about the Mexican midfielder.

“He's a fantastic player; I gave him his debut when he was 16. I haven't spoken with either Jesus or Martin. The Mexican league is very competitive, and we'll see what happens in the coming days,” acknowledged the South American coach.

Elias Montiel, at just 20 years old, has already played 79 matches for Pachuca's first team. The midfielder, born in Tula de Allende, has scored 5 goals and provided 7 assists for the Mexican club. Montiel has a market value of around $6 million, but negotiations shouldn't be a problem for the two teams that share the same owner.

Guillermo Almada won't have an easy time in his first few matches with the club. Real Oviedo will visit Alaves on January 4th, host Real Betis on January 10th, visit Osasuna on January 18th, and also travel to Barcelona's stadium on January 25th. Almada has faith in his squad. "The fans are spectacular and deserve for us to turn this situation around. We have to keep working." "We need to analyze our options and improve offensively. I have complete faith in the squad; when we regain our confidence and find the net, the results will come," said the South American strategist.
