Oier Luengo Set to Join Burgos as Loan Agreement Nears Finalization

Oier Luengo is on the brink of becoming a new player for Burgos, ready to work under coach Ramis. This move has been significantly influenced by Michu, who played a crucial role in tipping the scales in favor of the Burgos club. The team from Burgos has successfully outmaneuvered other contenders, including Cádiz and Huesca, for the services of the Basque central defender.

Having seen limited action this season with Oviedo, Luengo has decided to seek a new environment in pursuit of more playing time and continuity. The strong interest from Burgos, paired with his lack of opportunities at Carlos Tartiere, has expedited his exit, which will materialize as a loan agreement once finalized.

Luengo arrived at Oviedo in 2022 following Amorebieta’s relegation, viewed as a promising future prospect. His initial period was challenging, but over time he established himself as a significant player within the team. The 2023-24 season marked his definitive breakthrough, where he accumulated numerous appearances and emerged as a key figure during critical moments of the campaign. His performances earned him considerable appreciation from the fans.

However, this season has seen a complete shift in his circumstances. With only three official appearances and a secondary role, the central defender felt compelled to reassess his situation. Although there were attempts to leave last summer, he chose to stay. Now, with a contract that extends until 2027, he is ready to accept the challenge at Burgos to rejuvenate his career.

Luengo bids a temporary farewell to Oviedo after a total of 92 official matches, contributing five goals and three assists. He leaves behind a memorable legacy characterized by his competitive spirit and commitment. The blue supporters are left with a sense of ‘see you later’ rather than goodbye, holding onto hope of witnessing him don the blue colors once more in the future.
