Deportivo Alavés have secured the long-term services of Jesús Owono, with the Equatorial Guinean goalkeeper signing a contract extension that will keep him at the Spanish club until June 30, 2029.
The 23-year-old shot-stopper has been a part of the Alavés setup since 2017, having joined the club’s academy at the age of 16.
His latest renewal marks a significant chapter in his journey with the Basque outfit, reaffirming his role as a cornerstone of their long-term project.
Owono’s development through the club’s youth ranks has been closely watched by fans and technical staff alike.
He made his La Liga debut in 2022, quickly gaining recognition for his composure between the posts and impressive reflexes.
His rise within Spanish football has mirrored his progress on the international stage, where he has established himself as a vital figure for Equatorial Guinea.
Deportivo Alavés announced the extension on Sunday, celebrating the continuity of a player who has grown within the club’s system and now represents its identity on and off the field.
Renewing Jesús Owono’s contract means continuing the story of a player who made Albiazul his home, his school and his flag, the club said in an official statement.
The decision to extend Owono’s contract signals Alavés’ confidence in his abilities and their intention to build around homegrown talent.

Despite his young age, Owono has already demonstrated the maturity and leadership expected of a first-choice goalkeeper, earning the trust of coaching staff and supporters alike.
His performances have also drawn attention beyond the Spanish league.
With Equatorial Guinea, Owono has become a reliable presence in goal, featuring regularly in Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers and international friendlies.
His experience on the continental stage has only enhanced his profile and value to Alavés.
By tying Owono to a deal that runs through to 2029, Deportivo Alavés are investing not just in a player, but in a legacy.
The goalkeeper’s commitment reflects his belief in the club’s project and the role he envisions for himself in its future.
As preparations continue for the new La Liga campaign, Owono’s contract renewal will be seen as a major boost for the Albiazul faithful—a sign that one of their brightest talents remains fully committed to the club’s ambitions.
