Celta Extends Javi Rueda Through 2029

The long-term deal reflects Claudio Giráldez’s push to secure rising contributors for the future.

Overview

  • The club announced the renewal on Monday, adding two years to Rueda’s previous 2027 expiry.
  • Talks concluded quickly with the player’s agreement and include a notable salary increase, according to local reporting.
  • Rueda has logged 577 minutes across 11 matches with one goal and three assists in his first top-flight campaign.
  • He returned to the starting lineup against Alavés after a muscular injury sustained versus Nice had sidelined him.
  • The 23-year-old earned a first-team place after a standout loan at Albacete, where he was named to Segunda’s team of the season, as Celta also works on contracts for Marcos Alonso, Óscar Mingueza, Iago Aspas, Fran Beltrán, Mihailo Ristic, Franco Cervi and Joseph Aidoo.
