Marca has reported that Real Zaragoza is keen on acquiring Paulino de la Fuente from Oviedo. Despite having one year remaining on his contract, Paulino is considering a move due to insufficient playing time last season, which has made both him and Oviedo receptive to a transfer. Real Zaragoza appears to be in a favorable position to secure his services, although his skills and experience have attracted interest from other clubs as well. Negotiations are in progress, with Real Zaragoza attempting to negotiate a lower price than Oviedo's current valuation of the player. According to Transfermarkt, his market value is estimated at 1.40 million euros.
