Each team: Real Oviedo intends to strengthen the defense, the club is close to signing former Manchester United centreback Bayley

August 17 According to "Every Sport", Real Oviedo intends to strengthen the defense line, and the club is close to signing former Manchester United centreback Bayley.

Real Oviedo urgently needs to strengthen the defense for the remaining two weeks of transfer, so the club is working to introduce former Manchester United centre-back Bayley to fill the demand for the centre-back position. Bailey, 31, is currently a free agent after playing for Villarreal for a year and a half. However, this is not the only option, and the club is also negotiating with Real Sociedad to discuss the loan of left-back Xavi Lopez.

According to people familiar with the matter, Bayley's franchise is close to reaching an agreement, with only some details missing. Bailey's arrival will provide the team with an option to compete with Calvo, Costas and Lungo for starting center back position. Baonovic has shown that he has the flexibility to use two defensive systems against Villarreal.

Although Bayley is not a left-footed central defender, his experience and strength allow him to adapt to the needs of the team. Especially during his six years at Manchester United, he helped the team win the UEFA Cup and was a key player.

In addition, since he is a free agent, the club does not have to pay transfer fees, which helps relieve the pressure on the salary cap and can invest more money elsewhere, and Bayley played 25 games for the team in Villarreal's last and a half season.

Just yesterday, before the away game against Villarreal, Oviedo met with Bailey to discuss the possibility of joining him. This meeting played a decisive role in finalizing the agreement, and the two sides hope to reach an agreement within the next few hours.

In addition to the center back position, Oviedo is also looking for a candidate for left-back. Currently, there is only one left-back in Alasane in the first team. In order to increase competitiveness, Oviedo is negotiating with Real Sociedad to loan Xavi Lopez.

The 23-year-old young defender performed well last season (played in 29 league games), but lost his place after new coach Sergio Francisco took office. Nevertheless, Betis's involvement made the loan deal more complicated.
