Andrés Ferrari, a 23-year-old Uruguayan-Italian forward, has arrived in Gijón to complete the final aspects of his loan move to Sporting from the Belgian club Sint-Truiden. The move is subject to a medical examination and the signing of a contract. In the last week, Sporting lessened the disagreements with Sint-Truiden, allowing a negotiation to proceed that had been jeopardized by interest from other clubs. Sporting made a significant financial expenditure to satisfy Sint-Truiden's demands, because the forward was a priority for the sporting direction and the technical staff led by Nicolás Larcamón to strengthen the attack for the 26/27 season. The player's public desire to return to Gijón was an important element in the transaction's result; he had played there for six months during the 25/26 season. The transfer is pending the completion of final procedures, and he will join the team afterward. He is still adapting following a serious fibula injury from last season. Ferrari joined Sint-Truiden in July 2025. According to Transfermarkt, he has a current market value of €1.80m. He has made 15 appearances for Uruguay's U20 team, scoring 5 goals. In the 2025/2026 season, while on loan at Sporting, he scored 4 goals in 38 LaLiga2 appearances. For Sint-Truiden, he scored 8 goals and made 3 assists in 42 Jupiler Pro League games.
