César de la Hoz lacks a presence in Valladolid and has the potential to bolster Oviedo's midfield while providing defensive support if necessary. His financial demands appear to align with Oviedo's salary cap. Oviedo's pursuit of De la Hoz was prompted by difficulties in acquiring central defenders, given the established roles of Dani Calvo, David Costas, and Oier Luengo in the team. Consequently, Oviedo identified a need for a different profile and recognized that De la Hoz's ability to perform in both midfield and defense met their requirements.
