With four goals in 13 games, Borja Iglesias has regained his smile at Celta Vigo, but his future is up in the air. It is worth remembering that the Galician is on loan from Real Betis without a purchase option, with the Verdiblanco club pointing out a move prior to his departure that has now been flatly denied by the protagonist. It all has to do with the end date of your contract, which is not a trivial matter, as it can affect future negotiations for their rights.
After initially signing with the Verdiblanco team for five seasons, until 2024, in December 2021, said relationship was extended for two more years. until 2026, to dilute the amortization of the 28 million euros that his signing entailedby paying the termination clause to Espanyol. With this, in addition, it was achieved that the forward’s salary did not occupy so much of the LCPD set by LaLiga. But there was still another detail in this renewal, which is the one that now confronts the parties, since The possibility of extending the agreement for one more year was included, until June 30, 2027.
In this sense, the Villamarín’s noble floor ensures that This extension was activated unilaterally when he left on loan to the celestial team. A logical move given the possibility of him recovering his best level in Balaídos. Not in vain, if he only has one more year left on his contract, this situation could harm the interests of the Heliópolis entity in the face of a definitive transfer next summer, since sOnly six months later he could commit as a free agent to any club and Celta could push to take him cheaper.
In this regard, the newspaper Atlantic reported this past Thursday that, contrary to what was stated in the Seville capital, the Santiago striker has not renewed again and Next season he will face his last bonding course with Betis. A news that the protagonist himself has confirmed. “I don’t have that information. As of today, I have one more year on my contract and that’s what I know.“, he noted in an interview with the aforementioned media.
He is “happy” at Celta
“I face this calmly. It’s not something I have to focus on much today because it can distract me. I mentioned many years ago that I was very excited to play here and now, from within, I am in a space where the one that I am happy and in which I am growing. Who knows what will happen in the future because I have a contract and there are many interested parties that have to agree. I don’t know what will happen in the future but I feel very happy here.“added the ‘Panda’ about his future.
Meanwhile, this newspaper has already contacted his representation agency and they confirmed that Borja Iglesias’ contract ends today in 2026. which is not an obstacle for the La Palmera club to consider expanding itas long as it is confirmed that the aforementioned clause is unilateral.
