Celta Vigo is seriously weighing a return for Alfon González despite the right‑quadriceps fibre tear that will keep him out of preseason training for weeks. The report, confirmed by Radio Galega, arrives as the club sits sixth in La Liga with 54 points (14 W‑12 D‑12 L) and a recent two‑game winning streak.

What happened to Alfon and his injury?

Alfon, the 27‑year‑old winger who left Celta for Sevilla in 2025, began the Seville preseason with a setback described by the club as a "right‑quadriceps fibre rupture". The diagnosis means he will miss several weeks, complicating his integration before the campaign starts. Nevertheless, the player has expressed a strong desire to return to La Cerámica, and coach Claudio Giráldez still believes in his offensive qualities.

Why does Celta remain interested?

The Vigo side values Alfon for his pace and ability to stretch play down the left flank, traits that Giráldez has honed this season. Even with the injury, the board keeps the deal on hold, waiting for the final phase of the market to decide on the signing. The interest comes as Celta needs to boost its attack to stay competitive in Europe, despite being 40 points behind leaders Barcelona.

How does this affect the transfer market?

Alfon’s contract with Sevilla runs until June 2028, so any move will require careful negotiation. Celta appears ready to wait until the player regains full fitness before sealing the deal, potentially pushing the transaction to late August. Meanwhile, the club maintains its table position (6th) and continues to add goals: 53 scored and 48 conceded, a +5 goal difference.

What does this mean for the team’s immediate future?

Celta’s latest result, a 1‑0 win over Sevilla on 23 May 2026, shows the side can beat top opponents. With a recent form of 2 W‑2 D‑1 L (WWDDL) and a two‑match winning run, the board trusts that a possible Alfon return will sharpen the attack before the season’s second half. The final decision will come once the injury heals and the transfer window closes.
