Ayoze Pérez has become one of the most attractive targets in Celta de Vigo's transfer market to strengthen their offensive line. The sports management has already made contact with the Canary attacker's environment, although they understand that the operation presents significant economic and sporting difficulties.

The sky-blue team needs to free up space in the squad before making new investments. After finalizing the signings of Aleix Febas and Javi Galán, Marco Garcés is focusing efforts on several departures to reduce the wage bill and generate income during the window.

Ayoze Pérez, the different profile sought by Claudio Giráldez

Claudio Giráldez has requested a player capable of starting from the left, breaking lines, and contributing numbers in the area. Ayoze Pérez fits due to his mobility, experience, and ability to act as a winger, second striker, or center forward according to the match's needs.

The Spanish international is 32 years old and will turn 33 on July 29th. He is under contract with Villarreal until 2028, valued at around 5 million euros, and maintains a high salary considering the current possibilities of the Galician club.

His last season was far from the extraordinary 19 goals that allowed him to win the Zarra Trophy in the 2024/25 season. Nonetheless, he ended the 2025/26 campaign with 33 official matches, seven goals, and five assists, numbers that confirm he can still offer immediate performance.

Celta de Vigo has already made an initial inquiry to learn about the conditions for a possible negotiation. Currently, the signing is deemed very challenging, but A Sede does not rule out making an effort if the projected sales improve the club's financial margin.

Villarreal has an edge in the negotiation

Villarreal's position is comfortable. The attacker is happy in the yellow submarine team, has two more seasons on his contract, and faces an exciting season in which the Submarine will compete in the Champions League, a compelling argument difficult to match for other suitors.

Furthermore, Ayoze Pérez has received offers from abroad. Celta is currently the only Spanish team showing concrete interest, but any approach must convince both the player and a club that does not urgently need to part ways with him.

The operation will also depend on the departures completed by the Vigo entity. Marco Garcés needs to find destinations for several players and explore possible transfers before assuming the cost of a signing that would clearly raise the level and experience of the squad.

LaLiga maintains significant appeal for the attacker

Staying in LaLiga would allow the Canary player to remain in a league he knows well and close to his environment. Giráldez's project, based on an offensive and dynamic style of play, could also offer him a relevant role, although Celta currently cannot compete with any salary proposals.

Alfon González is considered one of the options being considered for the wing position. His potential return from Sevilla is welcomed by the coaching staff, but a new injury and the operation costs raise doubts, so the sports management is analyzing other profiles concurrently.

The market still has a long way to go, and Vigo does not expect to resolve this matter immediately. If conditions change and the Castellon team agrees to negotiate, Ayoze Pérez could be a significant reinforcement for Celta and a proven addition to continue making a difference in LaLiga.
