Sporting Gijón advances in Gularte's signing and awaits Oscar Trejo's decision. The red-and-blacks have managed to close in on the Uruguayan central defender and his Mexican club, Puebla. Emanuel Gularte, a Uruguayan central defender, is owned by Puebla and played the last season in his country on loan at Peñarol. The idea of reaching Europe is attractive to the player, although the negotiations are not easy. In the last hours, advances have been made in the conversations, although the agreement cannot be closed yet. José Riestra is in Mexico and is leading an operation on which there is optimism in Mareo. Gularte, a strong, tall, and aggressive player, also has the backing of Nicolás Larcamón, with whom he coincided during two seasons in Puebla. Player and coach have publicly praised each other on several occasions, a synchronization that could be key in the negotiation.
