La Liga
The situation of Fran Beltrán has become one of the most discussed issues in LaLiga, especially now that Sevilla intends to repeat a similar operation to what they did with Alfon a year ago. The midfielder from Celta de Vigo is facing the final months of his contract without any signs of renewal, sparking immediate interest in Nervión, where they see it as a market opportunity that should not be missed.
The uncertain future of Fran Beltrán at Celta de Vigo
The case of Fran Beltrán is striking because, despite his historical importance at Celta de Vigo, the club has not initiated any formal talks to extend his contract. As reported by the newspaper AS, the player has publicly acknowledged that "nothing has been discussed", hinting that his continuity depends more on the club's reaction than his own willingness. Despite this institutional silence, the midfielder maintains a cautious discourse, focused on working hard and performing until the last day of his contract.
In Balaídos, where he was recently honored for surpassing 230 matches in LaLiga, his figure continues to be appreciated by the fans. However, his participation this season has significantly decreased. He has lost minutes, given way to younger players, and is no longer among the coach's essential players. This decline in internal hierarchy fuels the feeling that the Galician club is already thinking of a future without him.
Sevilla smells the opportunity
In this scenario, Sevilla has positioned itself as the best-placed team to secure Fran Beltrán once he can negotiate freely starting on January 1. The sports management is working on an ambitious plan and sees the midfielder as an ideal reinforcement to provide stability to a midfield that has experienced too many ups and downs in recent months. His extensive experience in LaLiga, with over 200 elite matches and his competitive maturity, fits perfectly with what they are looking for.
The operation inevitably recalls that of Alfon. A year ago, Sevilla took advantage of the disconnect between Celta and another of its talents to sign him without real opposition. Now, with an even more favorable contractual situation, the Andalusian club aims to repeat the move and snatch a player who, despite his youth, already has experience, personality, and reputation in the Spanish league.

Factors tilting the balance towards Nervión
The potential departure of Fran Beltrán is driven by several factors favoring Sevilla. The first is the lack of renewal, opening the door to a transfer-free signing, always attractive for a club looking to adjust its planning. The second is the player's reduced playing time at Celta de Vigo, prompting him to seek a new setting to regain prominence. And the third is Sevilla's need to add reliable profiles without resorting to major expenses.
However, there are also factors that could complicate the operation. The player has stated that he would have no issue staying if the club decides to sit down and talk. Additionally, he could receive offers from abroad with superior economic conditions. And within Sevilla itself, there is significant internal competition, which could affect him if he seeks a more prominent role.
A potentially key operation for LaLiga's market
One thing that seems clear is that Fran Beltrán's situation will be one of the most relevant moves in the upcoming market. His arrival would represent a strategic reinforcement and immediate performance boost for Sevilla. Conversely, for Celta de Vigo, it would mean losing a well-rounded, experienced midfielder cherished by the fans. And for LaLiga, it would be another example of the dynamism of a league where major clubs continue to find value in established players from mid-profile clubs.
Overall, the end of this story is near. Barring any unexpected turn, Fran Beltrán could be experiencing his final months in Vigo, and Sevilla is already sharpening its moves to take him away, just as they did with Alfon before.
