CLOSED: Celta sells a player to the Premier League for a huge sum

The Celta de Vigo has closed a significant deal with the sale of Fer López to Wolverhampton for a fixed amount of 23 million euros, plus an additional two million in variables. This is one of the biggest transactions in recent years for the Vigo team, as they see one of their top academy prospects leave.

The young forward, a native of Galicia at only 21 years old, was one of the revelations of the past season. Despite limited experience at the elite level (playing 17 LaLiga matches for a total of 668 minutes and scoring two goals), his potential has been enough to attract the interest of the British club, which is betting heavily on his future.

Everything is set for the signing, it will be official in the next few hours

According to the newspaper Marca, Fer is already in England to undergo the necessary medical examination and finalize his contract with the Premier League team. There, he will meet an old acquaintance: Norwegian forward Jorgen Strand Larsen, who also left Balaídos for the Wolves last summer.

The forward, whose contract with Celta ran until 2028, made his debut for the first team last season after standing out in the lower categories. His official debut was in the Copa del Rey against UD San Pedro, and since then, he has been gaining prominence. With this sale, the sky-blue club receives a significant financial boost, although they bid farewell to a player with great potential and a strong bond with Balaídos fans.
