RC Celta de Vigo has fully entered the race for Aleix Febas. At Balaídos they see the midfielder as a very serious market opportunity, and Marco Garcés has been working the ground for some time to try to get ahead of his competitors.

The central midfielder ends his contract with Elche CF next June 30, which has sparked interest from several clubs. Among them was RCD Espanyol, which for weeks seemed to have much of the path clear. However, the scenario has changed in recent dates.

Aleix Febas is 30 years old, has proven experience, and additionally, the signing at zero cost is an extra attraction that makes signing him very interesting.

The Celta sporting management considers that Febas fits very well into Claudio Giráldez’s playing style. His ability to handle the ball, organize buildup, give the game pause, carry the ball, break opposing lines with dribbles in tight spaces, and his constant movement in the creative zone is highly valued in Vigo. Furthermore, Celta’s return to European competition can become an important argument to convince the player.

According to La Grada Online, the work of Marco Garcés has been constant, and at Espanyol they already assume that the operation has become much more complicated than expected. The arrival of Monchi to the Perico sporting area changed part of the planning, while Celta took advantage to accelerate contacts and gain weight in the negotiation.

At Elche they have known for some time that his continuance is complicated. The interest from First Division teams has kept growing, and right now Celta appears as one of the clubs best positioned to acquire his services.
