Iago Aspas, forward of Spanish Football Club Celta of Vigo, has an important job ahead this Saturday in the last Round of Liga for this season; to help save his Club from relegation. Difficult endeavour as 4 teams will be fighting for their Spanish Liga life & the combinations of results & points makes it a "Russian Roulette".
Independently of the final outcome & the ultimate fate of Celta of Vigo, everything points that the next & new Club for Aspas next season with be English Premier League Club Liverpool FC. Local & UK media report that a deal & signing is very close, so close that in England its considered an already done deal. Liverpool FC is reported to have offered 9M€ for the Celta forward, but neither Liverpool or Celta confirm the figure or the signing interest for the moment.
Iago Aspas is a talented striker that has had the eyes of big local Clubs focused on him sometime, some being Atletico de Madrid & lastly Valencia CF. The injection of money into Celta if Aspas goes over to England will be welcomed & give the Club a boost in moments that could see the Club fall to the Spanish 2ยบ Division.
English Premier League Club CHELSEA FC has been "fishing" in Spanish Football the past months & even more so now with Spanish Manager Benitez who knows well the Spanish market. Today there is another story which puts another LIGA player in the Chelsea orbit. IAGO ASPAS the 25 year old striker of CELTA DE VIGO who is currently knocking on the door of the Spanish National Team. The forward is the main goal scorer of Celta, is starring this season in the First Division & has only a 10M€ contract release clause.
In fact, Chelsea is not the only English Club interested as SWANSEA asked Celta about the players situation weeks back.
Celta has let known to Aspas to think about staying this season because a departure in this "Winter Market" could worsen the precarious situation the Club faces at bottom part of the ladder where they are battling to avoid the relegation zone. What will be the decision Aspas ?
Stay tuned for developments.
