Oviedo advances in the configuration of its squad at a cruising pace, it is the Second team that has its most advanced project, but there are still important movements to be carried out. The arrival of a cache medium and a complementary attacker are two operations in which the club has high hopes. And there is the chapter of departures. There is also a march planned. The clearest case is that of Samu Obeng. Cervera does not have him and the club wants to get a piece of it. But he will not give away the Ghanaian. The starting price of him is 500,000 euros. Oviedo will not sell it for less.
In fact, according to sources that know their situation, the blue club has already rejected at least two proposals from European clubs. The offers would not have reached that half million euros demanded by the club. The market is long, most of the moves still have to be made, so the club naturally assumes that it is normal for Obeng to start the preseason with Oviedo on July 6, but he keeps the striker in the showcase.
The Ghanaian has one more year on his contract in the blue team after its renewal in the summer of 2022 for two more years. The clause was established at five million euros. He was growing up in Oviedo and his cachet had risen. But everything changed last year. Obeng was counting on a certain role with both Bolo and Cervera when the winter market arrived. The African accumulated 22 appearances with the blues, eight as a starter, and had scored one goal. Huesca knocked on his door and he was clear: he asked for his departure.
A conversation with Cervera was key in his departure. In it, the Ghanaian, as revealed by the coach later, confessed that his time at Oviedo had come to an end and that he wanted to go to Huesca to once again be under the command of Ziganda, the coach who best understood his football. In El Alcoraz, upon payment of 150,000 euros by the people from Huesca, Obeng once again performed at a high level. He was a regular starter and scored five goals. The transfer was a success for all parties: the striker smiled again and Oviedo saw his appreciation.
Therefore, now it will not accept a proposal for less than 500,000 euros. He understands the blue club that the good second round in Huesca makes him a coveted piece. Ziganda’s team, which has just paid 200,000 euros to Eibar for the purchase option of Sielva, has not yet made a move, but some foreign clubs have, still far from the blue claims.
The feeling is that there are still several chapters with Obeng this summer and hence everything points to the start of the preseason with the blues. The sale of the African, in addition to freeing up a place up front, would increase the salary cap for future signings.
Patience with the exit operation. Obeng’s is not the only march planned on the club. Another man who could go out looking for minutes is Mángel. The youth squad player has a contract with the first team, he is a bet for Cervera, but his contribution fell as the competition went by. The coach has five pivots right now under his orders and will sign another one with other records. In such a context it is understood that the best solution for all parties is for Mángel to go out in search of prominence. The natural destination of him seems to be the First Federation.
And there is the situation of Abel Bretones. Oviedo does not rule out that a generous proposal could arrive for him after receiving the interest of some groups with a lot of billing. He would only sell for a significant amount.
