Romanian national team goalkeeper Horațiu Moldovan, 27, has agreed to a one-year loan deal with newly promoted La Liga side Real Oviedo, with a possible extension if the club avoids relegation. Moldovan, who helped Sassuolo gain promotion to Serie A last season, remains under contract with Atletico Madrid until 2027, with Oviedo covering his €1 million annual salary. This move follows interest from various clubs but ultimately anchors Moldovan in Spain’s top flight alongside fellow Romanian Daniel Paraschiv at Oviedo. His recent strong performances for Romania under Mircea Lucescu, including key saves against Austria, highlight his rising profile. The transfer marks a significant step for Moldovan to secure regular top-level football and continues Atletico’s strategy of loaning their promising keeper for development and exposure[1][2][3].
