After five seasons in the Premier League, the 36-year-old goalkeeper will return to LaLiga EA Sports. Celta de Vigo wants to take over the services of Vicente Guaita and the former Getafe and Valencia player is negotiating with Crystal Palace the termination of his contract to be able to join the Galician team at zero cost.
Vicente Guaita will have to compete at Celta de Vigo with Iván Villar for the favor of Rafa Benítez. His arrival in the sky-blue team will also open the door for Marchesín, who could end up in America.
Guaita will be the seventh signing of Celta de Vigo
Waiting for what happens with Vicente Guaita, the Greek striker Anastasios Douvikas, footballer of the Dutch Utrecht, has become the sixth signing of Celta de Vigo.
Douvikas, a personal bet of sports advisor Luis Campos, comes to Balaídos endorsed by his spectacular numbers in the Eredivisie, where he scored 32 goals in the 77 games he played with Utrecht.
The Greek international is the sixth addition to Celta de Vigo for the 2023-24 season after Carles Pérez (AS Roma), Manu Sánchez (Atlético de Madrid), Jonathan Bamba (Lille), Carlos Dotor (Real Madrid Castilla) and Carl Starfelt ( Celtic). Vicente Guaita will be the seventh.
The worst start for Celta de Vigo since their promotion
With their last defeat against Real Madrid (0-1), Celta de Vigo matched the second worst start for the sky-blue team since the 2012-2013 season, when they returned to the First Division.
The team led by Rafa Benítez has only added one point in the first three days, a record that is only worsened by Eduardo Berizzo’s Celta de Vigo in the 2016-17 season, when they lost the first three league games.
Celta’s numbers – an away draw against Real Sociedad and defeats in Balaídos against Osasuna and Real Madrid – are identical to those of the 2021-2022 championship, when they were defeated by Athletic and Atlético de Madrid and drew with Osasuna in The Sadar.
Since his arrival in Vigo, Rafa Benítez has insisted that he will need time for his team to start working as he wishes, after the group lost important players from last season such as Javi Galán, Hugo Mallo and Gabri Veiga.
Celta will visit Almería next Friday in the last match before LaLiga stops due to the international commitments of the teams.
