Arnau Tenas, option to strengthen Celta's goal

R.C. Celta de Vigo

The goalkeeping situation at Celta de Vigo is at the center of controversy after a preseason full of doubts. Andrei Radu, recently signed from Venezia, did not convince in the friendly matches against Sporting de Braga and Vitória de Guimarães, while Iván Villar also raised questions after his mistakes against Nacional de Madeira and Stuttgart. These stumbles have sparked a debate at A Sede about the urgency of reinforcing the sky-blue goal for the new LaLiga season.

In this context, Arnau Tenas, a 24-year-old goalkeeper from Paris Saint-Germain, emerges as a top option for the sports management. The FC Barcelona academy product, relegated to a secondary role after Gianluigi Donnarumma at PSG, has barely played minutes since his arrival in 2023. With one year remaining on his contract, the Spanish U-21 international is also reportedly sought after by Girona, according to journalist Ángel García. At Balaídos, Tenas would compete for the starting role with Radu in an attempt to solidify the goalkeeping position.

On the other hand, Celta is working on the departure of Marc Vidal. The 25-year-old goalkeeper from Castellón has agreed to leave the club after a season at Fortuna, and the sports management is looking for a destination that satisfies the player, who still has three years left on his contract. Meanwhile, Iván Villar's situation hangs by a thread. The academy product, who has not played in the last two friendlies after his mistake against Stuttgart, could be on the way out if a new high-level goalkeeper arrives, further complicating his continuity in the team.

With the season just around the corner, Celta is accelerating in the market to strengthen its goalkeeping and dispel the uncertainties that have marked the preseason.
