Celta Vigo HubCelta Vigo faces the summer with a double responsibility: maintaining the team that allowed them to qualify for the Europa League for two consecutive seasons and providing a competitive squad in what will be Iago Aspas' last campaign as a player.
What has happened in the transfer market?
At the beginning of June, the first signing of Aleix Febas was officially announced. The Catalan midfielder arrives on a free transfer from Elche with the goal of bringing experience and depth to the team.
Why is it important for Celta Vigo?
Celta Vigo is facing a slower transfer market than last year and is approaching the end of the fiscal year without having advanced the major sale expected to balance the books. Four days before June 30, the club has only closed the signing of Aleix Febas, on a free transfer until 2029 after his contract with Elche ended.
What comes next?
| Date | Event |
|---|---|
| June 30 | End of fiscal year |
| 2026-2027 | New La Liga season |
Celta Vigo is in a complicated situation, with M. Fernandez, M. Roman, and C. Starfelt injured. However, the team has had a good campaign, finishing 6th in La Liga with 54 points, 14 wins, 12 draws, and 12 losses in 38 games. Their last win was against Sevilla on May 23.
What is the current context?
Celta Vigo is 40 points behind leader Barcelona. In their last 5 games, the team has achieved 2 wins, 2 draws, and 1 loss. They are currently on a 2-game winning streak.
Celta Fortuna has announced the departure of David de la Iglesia Rey, known as Dela, after 7 years at the club. Dela has acknowledged the difficulty of closing a chapter that has lasted so long in A Madroa.
What's new in the academy?
Joel López and Hugo González are directly aiming for the first team after becoming key players for the second team. The final decision will depend on Claudio Giráldez, who will have the last word.
Celta Vigo is opening the door for several academy players to leave in order to lighten the squad. The club has set the task of reducing the number of professional players to 23 or 24, which means finding a new destination for players from the academy who had little involvement last season and have few chances of playing minutes next season.
