Borja Iglesias, a 33-year-old forward from Celta de Vigo, has received several inquiries from MLS clubs during this summer transfer market. Currently, there is no formal offer on the table, but the Galician club is aware of the interest coming from the United States.

Borja Iglesias on MLS radar

Contacts are in the initial phase. According to information from Matteo Moretto, various MLS clubs have inquired about Borja Iglesias's situation, although none have yet presented a concrete proposal to Celta de Vigo.

The forward is under contract with the Galician team until June 30, 2027, so any MLS club wishing to sign him will have to negotiate with Celta. His market value is currently around €2.5-2.9 million, as per different valuation platforms.

This situation comes after a season where Borja Iglesias finished as Celta's top scorer. The forward netted 18 goals in all competitions, including 14 in LaLiga, during the 2025/26 season.

His performance also earned him a place in the Spanish national team for the 2026 World Cup. Iglesias went on to win the World Cup with Spain after the final held on July 19 in the United States.

United States emerges as a potential destination, but no offer yet

The interest from the MLS comes just a few weeks after Borja Iglesias played in the World Cup in United States, Mexico, and Canada. Though the forward had limited playing time during the tournament, he was part of the squad that clinched the title.

It's not the first time Iglesias has been linked with a move outside of Europe. During the World Cup, there were reports of interest from Club América, but that possibility didn't materialize, and the player remained with Celta de Vigo.

The contractual situation limits the scope for a unilateral exit. Borja Iglesias secured his permanent return to Celta in August 2025 for around €2 million, after being on loan to Vigo the previous season.

Currently, Celta does not have an offer from the MLS on the table, and the scenario could change if any of the American clubs that have shown interest decide to move towards a formal bid. The Galician club is aware of the interest, but there is no active negotiation yet.

The next step will be to see if the contact from the United States evolves in the coming weeks. With Borja Iglesias contracted until 2027, any action from the MLS will first require a concrete proposal for Celta de Vigo to kick off negotiations for the forward's future.
