Overview

  • Celta must reduce its first-team roster limit by offloading or reintegrating eight loanees and other fringe players, with Carles Pérez eyed for a move to MLS.
  • Club intends to trigger the €6 million purchase clause for Ilaix Moriba but must negotiate a more sustainable long-term contract than his Leipzig salary.
  • Talks are ongoing to secure Borja Iglesias from Betis on a reduced wage, though the deal may not conclude until late August.
  • Negotiators are closing in on Sergio Carreira's contract renewal while letting contracts of Manquillo, Jailson and Guaita expire and finalizing Alfon’s switch to Sevilla.
  • The overhaul is driven by Celta’s return to Europe, requiring a balanced squad for La Liga, Copa del Rey and the Europa League.
