José Luis Morales, a 39-year-old Spanish centre-forward who has been a free agent since June 30, has signed with Real Oviedo on a contract until 2027. The club officially announced the deal late on Sunday. The signing follows a season-ending anterior cruciate ligament injury to Oviedo's Chris Ramos. Morales has previously played for Levante, Eibar, and Villarreal. At his new club, he will reunite with manager Julián Calero. Morales previously played under Calero at Levante, where they achieved promotion together. After passing the required medical examination at the Hospital Clínica de Asturias, Morales gave his first statements as a Real Oviedo player, in which he said he was eager to begin and described the summer as having been longer than usual. His market value is currently €200k, according to Transfermarkt.
