Marca reports that Cádiz has accelerated negotiations to sign 28-year-old Spanish defender Oier Luengo from Real Oviedo during the winter transfer window and is reportedly competing with other clubs, including Albacete, for him. The proposed deal is a loan with a purchase option, and Luengo has become a priority for the club's sporting management to strengthen the defense under coach Gaizka Garitano. The player is positive about the move after his role at Oviedo became less prominent due to high competition, having made 2 appearances in LaLiga in the 2025/2026 season. His versatility to play as a center-back or right-back, strong aerial ability, and goal-scoring capacity from set-pieces are highlighted as key attributes. With experience of over 60 matches in recent seasons, Luengo was also an important player in the Oviedo team that recently nearly achieved promotion and is considered to have excellent knowledge of the division. The defender's contract at Real Oviedo runs until June 2027 and his market value is listed by Transfermarkt as €900k.
