Celta open to January reinforcements after changing plan

R.C. Celta de Vigo

Celta Vigo head into the international break with more doubts than expected. The Sky Blues have gone three league matches without a win in LALIGA EA Sports and, for the moment, are also outside the next phase of the UEFA Europa League.

The situation has not raised any doubts around Claudio Giráldez. According to the information available, the coach retains the full confidence of the club's hierarchy and continues to carry weight in sporting decisions, as was the case last summer with Javi Rueda's stay.

The new development lies in January's planning. Celta's initial idea was to have a quiet winter window, backing the current squad after the difficulties they encountered in the summer market. However, recent results have led the sporting department to open the door to possible additions.

Marco Garcés, Celta's sporting director, admitted on Movistar Plus, before the match against Levante at Balaídos, that the club is working on several fronts and is coordinating with Giráldez to define precisely what the team needs. Among the issues on the table are contract renewals, internal promotions and possible reinforcements.

That message marks a shift from the line taken weeks earlier in Vallecas, when Garcés, asked about the team's lack of goals, argued that Celta had enough options within the squad to solve the problem.
