Overview

  • Celta anticipates fewer than five new signings as it seeks to preserve the squad that earned a return to European competition.
  • A €6 million fee for Ilaix Moriba is agreed with Leipzig, with final salary terms to be resolved by the June 15 option deadline.
  • Active renewal talks are underway for Sergio Carreira, Marcos Alonso and Óscar Mingueza, whose contracts expire at month’s end.
  • Financial constraints rule out paid transfers, prompting Celta to target loans and free agents and to scout a goalkeeper skilled in ball distribution.
  • The club has received informal inquiries about its players but no formal offers have materialized ahead of the new season.
