Jorge Meré Pérez (born 17 April 1997) is a Spanish footballer who plays for Sporting de Gijón as a central defender.

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 release 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]

Meré contributed with 25 league appearances during the 2015–16 campaign, overcoming Bernardo Espinosa (who was sidelined due to an injury), Igor Lichnovsky and Ognjen Vranješ as his side avoided relegation in the last matchday.[6]

International career

Meré has represented Spain from every age group level from the under-15 to the under-21 level. In 2012 he represented Spain U15 at the Mexico Cup of Nations,[7] and was part of the under-19s squad who won the UEFA European Under-19 Championship in 2015.[8] Earlier in the year he had made his debut for the U21 side in a 4–0 win over Belarus U21.[9]

In May 2016, aged only 19, Meré was called up to the full squad for the first time for an international friendly against Bosnia and Herzegovina.[10]
