RC Celta and Real Betis are finalizing the details to close Borja Iglesias' transfer, according to sources close to both clubs. After weeks of complicated negotiations, the positions between the teams from Vigo and Seville have aligned in the last hours, with the intention that the agreement is finalized before the start of LaLiga. The goal is for the 'Panda', as he is known, to be available for coach Claudio Giráldez in the debut in the league on August 17 against Getafe CF at Balaídos, at 5:00 p.m.

At 32 years old, the attacker from Santiago de Compostela would fulfill his great desire: to return to the club where he was trained and where he shone in the 24/25 season, scoring 11 goals and providing 4 assists. Although Valencia, where he played in youth categories, also competed for his services, Iglesias' priority was always to return to Celta. According to sources, the agreement with the sky-blue club could be extended until 2027, with the possibility of an additional season.

On the other hand, the option to emigrate to Mexican football, specifically to Monterrey, was completely ruled out. Despite rumors in media close to the Rayados club, which saw him as a replacement for Nelson Deossa, Borja never considered that path. The forward, who earns close to two million euros net at Betis, would have agreed to lower his salary to facilitate the operation, showing his commitment to returning to Vigo.

Fantasy Recommendation

As we had been warning, the signing was a matter of days and the transfer now seems completely closed, so the status of the forward will change radically in the Galician team, becoming a starting player and important.
