Borja Iglesias leaving Real Betis?

Borja Iglesias has been signed by RC Celta as part of their summer transfer activities. The coach, Claudio Giráldez, highlighted the commitment of the new signings, noting that they opted to join RC Celta despite having offers from other clubs.

Alavés showed interest in signing Borja Iglesias, but the attempt failed.

The club wants to replace Borja Iglesias.

Borja Iglesias returns home, as stated by his new employer Celta Vigo. "El Panda" is moving on loan from Real Betis to the northern Galician coast, where he previously played between 2013 and 2018. The 31-year-old Spanish national striker was loaned to Bayer 04 Leverkusen last season (seven Bundesliga appearances, no goals).

The team from Vigo reaches an agreement with Betis for the loan of the forward from Santiago for the next season.

Borja Iglesias, after a statistically poor season (2 goals in 28 matches) and an uneventful loan spell at Leverkusen, has signed with Celta Vigo. The Spanish international (2 caps) is loaned for a season by Real Betis, as announced by the Galician club on their social media. Formed at Celta, Iglesias remains the top scorer in the history of the reserve team.

Real Betis and RC Celta are nearing a deal for the one-season loan of Borja Iglesias. RC Celta will assume the player's full salary, which exceeds two million euros net per season, with no option to buy. The loan process is in advanced stages and could be finalized in the coming hours, pending the resolution of final details. Real Betis initially sought to transfer Borja Iglesias but chose the loan route due to insufficient offers. The player will take a pay cut to comply with RC Celta's wage structure.

Claudio Giráldez, coach of RC Celta, expressed his desire to sign Borja Iglesias, a forward from Betis. Giráldez has a personal appreciation for Iglesias, having worked with him previously at Celta B.

Olympique de Lyon has Borja Iglesias on their radar as well.

Real Club Celta is very interested in acquiring Borja Iglesias, who previously played for their youth team.

Borja Iglesias is aware that the coach Manuel Pellegrini does not count on him much, and the club is looking for a way out for him in this transfer market. The club's president, Ángel Haro, and the sports director, Manu Fajardo, confirmed that Borja Iglesias is on the market, with a starting price of 8 million euros, the same as the purchase option that Bayer Leverkusen did not exercise.

RC Celta is interested in Borja Iglesias to replace Strand Larsen. Real Betis has priced Borja Iglesias at 8 million euros. Claudio Giráldez, coach of RC Celta, has suggested Borja Iglesias' name. The player has two years left on his contract with Real Betis and a considerable salary, which is a significant hurdle for his return to Vigo. RC Celta has already gauged the player's willingness to return to Vigo.

RC Celta is interested in bringing Borja Iglesias back to the club. However, his high salary and the transfer fee of around 8 million euros complicate the transfer due to the team's salary cap.

Borja Iglesias's return could lead to new departures due to the arrivals of Chimy Ávila and Bakambu.
