Ovedo renews Cazorla s contract with La Liga team

La Liga newly promoted Ovedo implemented a contract renewal with former Spanish international Cassorla on Saturday local time.

Ovido officially announced a contract renewal with Santiago Cazorla on Saturday local time: "With Cazorla, Ovido's symbolic character renewal proves that when you pursue your dreams with your heart, Ovido can come true. Ovido locks in a core contract renewal with a few outside the court that reflects the team's values."

40-year-old Cazorla helped Oviedo win the playoffs in the Spanish Second Division last month. He would only consider renewing his contract with the club after returning to La Liga. At that time, he said it would take time to decide whether to play with La Liga again with the team. With the news first reported by Spanish media Le Marca last week, it pointed out that the two sides have reached a contract renewal agreement, and now it is indeed a year to renew the contract. It is expected that he will retire after the 2025/26 season.

Cazora's football career helped Spain win the European Cup twice. Arsenal, who played for the Premier League in his youth, spent 6 years until he left the team in 2018. He ruptured his tendon in 2016. He mostly recovered from injuries during his last two years at Arsenal, and during this period he underwent 11 surgeries. Cazorla later played in Villarreal and Saudi leagues until he returned to Oviedo two years ago.
