Hugo Guillamón, a 26-year-old Spanish midfielder, is in Gijón to finalize his signing with Sporting de Gijón, bolstering their midfield. The transfer was negotiated by agent Salomon Behar after Guillamón terminated his contract with Croatian club Hadjuk Split. Guillamón, a Valencia youth academy product, made nearly 150 appearances for Valencia and played three matches for the Spanish national team, including being selected for the 2022 World Cup squad. He left Valencia after falling out of favor under coach Corbalán and spent last season at Hadjuk Split, playing 26 matches. Sporting de Gijón, managed by Nicolás Larcamón, had been pursuing Guillamón for weeks and feared interference from top-tier Spanish clubs. The player was convinced by Sporting's project and is expected to be officially announced soon, potentially available for upcoming friendlies. The club also expects winger Konrad de la Fuente to join, while Jonathan Dubasin has departed for Osasuna.
Source report
Hugo Guillamón will become a Sporting player in the coming hours. The 26-year-old midfielder is already in Gijón to formalize his signing and bolster the team's midfield.
According to La Nueva España, the operation has been led by Salomon Behar, who reached an agreement with the footballer. Guillamón has terminated his contract with Croatian side Hajduk Split to join the ranks of Nicolás Larcamón.
Strong Reports and Interest from La Liga
At Mareo, the club held strong reports on a player who still possesses great potential and ample experience in Spanish football. Sporting was wary that a First Division team might interfere in the negotiations, which had been ongoing for weeks.
That has not been the case. The player, convinced by Sporting's sporting project, will be officially announced as a red-and-white in the coming hours.
Career Background
Guillamón arrives at Sporting after his first adventure abroad with Hajduk Split. Previously, he had only played for Valencia, the club where he came through the youth academy and made his debut at an early age. He was considered one of the greatest prospects at the Che team in recent years.
With Valencia, he accumulated nearly 150 matches and played an important role within the club. His performances earned him a debut with the Spanish national team, playing three matches and being selected by Luis Enrique for the 2022 World Cup squad.
Recent Moves
Corbalán's arrival on the Valencia bench relegated Guillamón to a more secondary role, leading to his departure to Hajduk Split last summer. With the Croatian side, he played 26 matches last season. Now, after venturing into European football, he has decided to return to Spain with Sporting de Gijón.
