Overview
- Claudio Giráldez, who spoke on Saturday, said he has an excellent working relationship with sporting director Marco Garcés and president Marián Mouriño and asked fans and media to stop misreading transfer talk.
- The coach confirmed the Javi Rueda episode has ended with Rueda remaining in Vigo and being offered an improved contract by the club.
- Giráldez stressed his main transfer priority is signing a central defender but said he would rather keep the squad intact than make a hurried signing that weakens the team.
- He warned that the transfer window still being open and the postponed Osasuna match have created a heavy fixture load that forces the staff to limit minutes and manage player recovery.
- Celta’s push to retain players reflects clear financial limits and could shape selection and any last-minute moves before the transfer deadline on Tuesday.
