Club career
Born in Oviedo, Asturias, Meré joined Sporting de Gijón's youth setup in 2010, after starting it out at neighbours Real Oviedo,[1] and made his senior debuts with the reserves in the 2013–14 campaign, aged only 16, in Segunda División B. On 24 July 2014 he signed a new five-year deal with the club, with a €25 million clause.[2]
In January 2015 Meré was linked to Newscastle United,[3] but nothing came of it. On 11 April he made his professional debut, starting in 1–1 away draw against Real Zaragoza for the Segunda División championship.[4]
Meré appeared in five matches for the first team during the season, as it returned to La Liga after a three-year absence. He made his debut in the category on 23 September 2015, starting in a 1–2 away loss against Rayo Vallecano.[5]
