The general director of Real Oviedo, owned by Grupo Pachuca, Agustin Lleida, and the sporting director, Roberto Suarez, analyzed the transfer market carried out by the entity and assured that the blue club will have a Salary cap of 42.9 million euros, equivalent to $50 million dollars for the current season.

“We have a surplus for the January market. We were careful and prudent in carrying out certain operations,” explained Lleida at the presentation of Javi Lopez and Ovie Ejaria as new Real Oviedo players.

Real Oviedo made 27 movements this summer between arrivals and departures and formed a squad of 25 players with 16 different nationalities, something that, according to the Carbayon general manager, “explains the complexities of a market being in the First Division.”

“We worked to have a different type of striker than what we already had and one that would improve us in several facets of the game. We wanted them to meet all the parameters, and also to be profitable for the club going forward. Some operations couldn't be carried out because of that and others because there was competition and they went to another team,” explained Roberto Suarez, sporting director, when asked about Memphis Depay, an attacker who would form a trident with Salomon Rondon and Federico Vinas, but who Oviedo ultimately did not sign on the last day of the transfer market.

The Blues' sporting management also confirmed that they will not sign any players from the free agent market and guaranteed "the continuity of Brandon Domingues until, at least, the winter market."

"In every transfer market since we have been in Oviedo, players from Pachuca have come and Jesus Martinez has been present in every decision, he is always at the helm," concluded Lleida regarding the importance of the president of the Pachuca Group and majority shareholder of Real Oviedo in the signings made by the Blues.
