The operation won't be easy. From Avellaneda, the board has made it clear that they won't let go easily of one of the team's stars, who has a contract until late 2028 and a release clause set at 20 million dollars. Nevertheless, Oviedo has already initiated initial discussions with the player's representatives to explore a potential transfer.
Real Oviedo aims to sign Kevin Lomónaco
The interest from the Spanish club is not isolated. Lomónaco's outstanding season with 'El Rojo', coupled with his recent call-up to the Argentine national team, has attracted the attention of other major clubs such as Barcelona, Betis, and West Ham, who have also been monitoring his situation in recent months.
The 23-year-old center-back has featured in 45 games for Independiente, delivering solid performances with two goals and an assist. For Real Oviedo, his profile fits into the sporting plan aimed at staying in the top tier, combining young talent with international experience.
With Salomón Rondón confirmed as a reinforcement and negotiations advanced for James Rodríguez, the potential arrival of Lomónaco would confirm Oviedo's ambition to build a competitive team from their first season in the elite of Spanish football.
