The RC Celta continues the search for a reliable center forward to strengthen their attack for the upcoming season. Claudio Giráldez is clear that the favorite to fill that role is Borja Iglesias, whom he knows personally and maintains direct contact with. The striker from Compostela is currently in pre-season with Real Betis in Portugal, but his return to Vigo is not yet finalized with either the player himself or the Verdiblanco team, with whom formal negotiations have not even started.

Faced with the difficulty of the operation, alternatives are already being considered at A Sede. According to ElDesmarque, the club has received offers from two forwards currently playing in the Belgian league: Franjo Ivanovic from Union Saint-Gilloise and Nikola Stulic from R Charleroi SC.

Two alternatives to Borja Iglesias

Ivanovic, only 21 years old, is coming off a spectacular season with 24 goals and 9 assists. A Croatian international, his price could exceed ten million euros, a figure that complicates his arrival in Vigo. On the other hand, Stulic, at 23, has also left good impressions with 17 goals and 2 assists, and his cost would be much more affordable.

Although the Celta technical staff continues to dream of signing "The Panda," his high wage and the interest of other clubs like Girona or Valencia could hinder his arrival. Meanwhile, in Vigo, possible alternatives are being prepared.
