Celta Vigo finally tie up deal for Real Betis star
The board at Celta Vigo have early this week put in place an agreement to land a leading member of the club's summer transfer wishlist. That's according to market insider Matteo Moretto, who points towards Borja Iglesias as the player in question. Frontman Iglesias for his part spent the 2024/25 campaign on loan at Celta Vigo. And the 32-year-old, for the most part, went on to impress. Across 37 total league appearances (24 starts), Iglesias racked up 11 goals, and three assists. This haul included a hat-trick at champions Barcelona back in April. Celta Vigo, in turn, had long kicked into gear negotiations with their counterparts at Real Betis, over a permanent deal for Iglesias. And as alluded to above, after several months of contrasting reports regarding the status of these talks, on Monday, the Celestes finally appear to have landed their man. As per a report from journalist Matteo Moretto: 'Borja Iglesias to Celta, agreement finalized between the parties as reported by AFDLP. The clubs are already exchanging documents.' Conor Laird – GSFN

Frontman Iglesias spent last season plying his trade on loan with Celta, enjoying a solid campaign en route to 11 goals and three assists in league play. This proved enough to convince those behind the scenes at Balaídos to sanction a permanent move for the 32-year-old, with talks, in turn, having long been kicked into gear between the two clubs. And as alluded to above, this week, at long last, such discussions have borne fruit. As per a statement across the website and social media platforms of Real Betis: 'Real Betis Balompié and Real Club Celta de Vigo have agreed to the transfer of Borja Iglesias.

Bryan Zaragoza reveals ‘Aspas factor' in Celta Vigo transfer decision
Celta Vigo have pulled off a major transfer coup in signing Spain international Bryan Zaragoza ahead of the 2025/26 season. Claudio Giraldez has lost Fer Lopez to Wolves, with Jorgen Strand Larsen also staying at Molineux, after a loan stint with the the Premier League side last season. The Galicians are boosted in the efforts to bring in new players after securing qualification for the UEFA Europa League for 2025/26 and Giraldez has secured some shrewd deals. Former Barcelona duo Ferran Jutgla and Ilaix Moriba have made the move to Vigo but Zaragoza would represent a real coup. On the back of those agreements, Giraldez has prioritised new faces in his wide areas and Zaragoza's form on loan at Osasuna in 2024/25 flagged the former Granada winger as an option. The 23-year-old has seen his career dip at Bayern Munich, and the Bavarians were happy to let him go, after securing a swoop for Luis Diaz from Liverpool. Image via Getty Images Giraldez has now managed to hold off the challenge of other interested La Liga sides with Zaragoza joining on loan for 2025/26. Aspas seals Zaragoza loan move to Celta The deal with Vincent Kompany's side includes a purchase clause in 2026 with Celta obliged to buy Zaragoza if he meets certain targets within the deal. Zaragoza is excited by a return to Spain and he admitted a chat with the club's iconic captain Iago Aspas played a vital role in his final decision. 'I followed Celta last year and they had a very good season. They have a very good combination of styles and they're very direct. 'When I'm going to sign for a team, I always try to see if the game suits me, and I think I fit perfectly into Claudio's style of play. 'Good things take time. In the end, I'm here. I was able to come, and I hope to be here for much longer. I spoke with Iago Aspas three or four times all summer and that helped.'
