ATLETICO DE MADRID EYES CELTA DE VIGO NOLITO

Spanish International & Celta de Vigo forward "Nolito" is in the orbit of Atletico de Madrid according to local Spanish Sports press. The player has had an outstanding season with 13 goals & 13 assists & Atletico Coach Simeone sees Nolito as the perfect reinforcement for the left side of the attack.

Celta de Vigo asks for 14M€ as transfer fee while At Madrid offers 10M€, nothing surprising as it is typical negotiation procedure. What Atletico has in their favour is the willingness of the player to make the jump from Clubs. No doubt Nolito will put in his part of "pressure" to soften stands internally. 

The summer will be long & things will be taken with calmness. Stay tuned!

CELTA DE VIGO IAGO ASPAS CLOSE TO LIVERPOOL FC

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 2º Division.
