The return of Borja Iglesias to the RC Celta de Vigo could become one of the notable movements of the transfer market this summer. The Galician striker, who left Vigo in 2018 for the RCD Spanish for 10 million euros after a successful season in the Royal Zaragozahas aroused the interest of his former club after his time at Real Betis.
Borja, 31, signed for Betis in 2019 after paying his termination clause of 28 million euros. In Sevilla, he has made his mark with 52 goals in 181 games, establishing himself as a prolific attacker in La Liga. However, his high salary and the amortization of his transfer could complicate his return to Celta, who must manage his salary cap wisely.
Celta’s interest in repatriating Borja Iglesias has been confirmed by sources close to the club, although the operation will not be easy due to the financial figures involved. Meanwhile, Betis is looking to find a place for the forward after his successful loan to Bayer Leverkusen, where he contributed to the Bundesliga title. Although the Verdiblancos have explored alternatives in the left-back market, Manu Sánchez’s situation in Vigo remains uncertain, which could influence future negotiations.
Celta’s economy does not allow it to do atrocities
With several clubs interested in his services, Borja Iglesias is emerging as one of the key names to follow in the summer market, while RC Celta evaluates how his possible return would fit within its financial and sporting limits.
