Oviedo is very close to closing the renewal of its main sponsorship, Digi, and thus ensuring a transcendental income that allows it to increase the salary limit and thus go with guarantees to the transfer market, which officially opens on July 1. The blue club already has a verbal agreement with the Romanian telephone company, which has been the main sponsor of the Carbayón team since February 2022, when Grupo Carso was the largest shareholder.
Digi arrived at the club in February 2022 after a negotiation led by Mata and Reyes
Since then, with the arrival of Pachuca, the relationship between both entities has been very satisfactory, hence the renewal of the contract, which is agreed upon and pending the final signature. The agreement will allow Oviedo to enter an amount close to 400,000 euros, the same amount as up to now, which goes directly to the salary limit, which is what the club can spend on salaries and signings. Digi, for its part, will continue to wear the front of the blue shirt, in addition to all the strategic points of the entity. Martín Peláez, president of Oviedo, made reference to the importance of sponsorships to try to stretch or at least maintain a salary limit that allows the club to have a certain margin in the market.
Last year the ceiling was 9.7 million euros and the aforementioned sponsors are the easiest way to increase the aforementioned amount. “Now we have the lower limit than last season and we try to match it based on sponsorships,” said the blue club’s top leader in the city last Monday. Digi’s continuity is therefore crucial in the club’s plans. The renewal has been a relatively simple operation, as since Digi became a sponsor, an automatic renewal clause was activated if neither party objected. As coexistence has been positive since February 2022, no major problems were foreseen.
Oviedo will also renew the sponsorship with the Oviedo City Council
The arrival of Digi in Oviedo was an operation that at the time was directed by David Mata, then manager of the blue club, who negotiated with the company. To reach that agreement, much applauded in the entity, Rubén Reyes, sports director, was key in turn, who unlocked the operation by contacting Gica Craioveanu, representative of Digi and former teammate of the Asturian at Getafe.
Through that agreement, the club earned about 200,000 euros for half a season. Digi and Oviedo renewed their relationship at the end of last season and now, after the expansion, continuity is also guaranteed.
In this way, the blue club continues to advance and maintain the key entry routes. In addition to Digi’s sponsorship, it is expected that the sponsorship agreement of the Oviedo City Council will also be extended. Both parties, the club and the Consistory, have very advanced negotiations to renew the agreement, through which the blue entity enters around 400,000 euros per year. The plans of the team led by Alfredo Canteli, the mayor of the city, go through extending the agreement for another four years and under the same conditions that existed up to now. In this way, a City Council logo would continue to be in a privileged place on the coat.
