Celta de Vigo secures a new signing

R.C. Celta de Vigo

Matías Vecino is going to be a player for RC Celta de Vigo in the coming hours. The Uruguayan international, 34 years old, would arrive after an agreement with Lazio to strengthen the center of the field for the celeste team. His trajectory in Italy and his physical-technical profile fit what the coaching staff requested from the sports management.

Vecino has 69 caps with Uruguay and a solid career in Serie A: Fiorentina, Cagliari, Empoli, Inter Milan, and Lazio. In the Italian elite, he has played 312 matches, scored 29 goals, and provided 21 assists. Standing at 1.87 meters tall, he can play as a midfielder or defensive midfielder, bringing height, presence, and good ball skills. The move, negotiated by RC Celta de Vigo, meets the criteria sought by the sports management: a tall midfielder with physicality and skill. His arrival would serve to replace the departures of Fran Beltrán and Damián Rodríguez.
