Real Oviedo are being linked with a move for AD Ceuta central midfielder Youness Lachhab, with the Moroccan‑Spanish player potentially becoming a free agent.
The 26‑year‑old, listed with a market value of €600k, is currently on the books of Spanish side AD Ceuta and plays primarily as a central midfielder. Data from Transfermarkt indicates there is speculation over a switch from Ceuta, who are listed within the LaLiga2 structure, to Oviedo, who are associated with LaLiga, though the probability of the move is marked only as “?”.
Lachhab’s contract situation at Ceuta is unclear, with no expiry date recorded, which has fuelled suggestions that he could leave as a free agent if no new deal is agreed. That status would make the left‑footed midfielder an attractive low‑cost option for Oviedo compared with his current €600k valuation.
Born on 23 April 1999 in El Palmar and standing at 1.96m, Lachhab offers unusual height for a central midfielder, combining a physical presence with left‑footed balance in the middle of the pitch. He wears the number 5 shirt for Ceuta and is listed as having both Moroccan and Spanish nationality.
Recent data identifies him as part of AD Ceuta FC’s set‑up, but no detailed breakdown of appearances or goals is provided in the latest scrape. Specific match information – such as recent opponents, dates, scorelines and individual performance statistics – is not available in the current dataset.
With the rumour still at a speculative stage and no fee or formal talks confirmed in the publicly available information, Oviedo are yet to be reported as close to finalising a deal. Even so, a move to a club associated with Spain’s top flight could represent a significant step up for Lachhab and, if it materialises, may prove a pivotal moment in shaping the next phase of his career.
