Overview
- Celta coach Claudio Giráldez said he loves Fer López’s profile and confirmed the academy product is one of the winter options under discussion, while noting there is no further progress yet.
- All 25 first-team registrations are occupied and three players hold B-team licenses, so any loan arrival would require freeing a slot or using a B registration within league rules.
- Giráldez reiterated the market priority to avoid weakening the squad and to strengthen only if feasible under the current constraints.
- Borja Iglesias and Pablo Durán received medical clearance and are available to face Valencia, while Carlos Domínguez and Mihailo Ristić remain short of full fitness after partial training.
- Franco Cervi and Damián Rodríguez were omitted from the Valencia squad by technical decision, as Celta target continued strong home form against a visiting side still without an away win and hovering just above the drop zone.
