The signing that Giráldez has asked Celta for

Denis Suárez reappears on the horizon within the Celta de Vigo transfer market as one of those operations that require time, patience, and many pieces fitting together simultaneously. The midfielder from Salceda de Caselas, now at Deportivo Alavés, remains a player greatly admired by Claudio Giráldez, who already tried to have him under his command last season.

The desire exists, contact is maintained, and the idea has not cooled down. The difficulty lies in the economic and sporting context of the Vigo club, which before embarking on new signings needs to free up space in the squad. At Balaídos, they seek free players, affordable loans, and very carefully planned operations to avoid compromising the wage structure.

Claudio Giráldez keeps interest alive in Denis Suárez

Claudio Giráldez has never hidden that Denis Suárez is a profile that fits him. It is not only a sentimental issue due to his past in Vigo but also a footballing necessity. The coach wants midfielders with vision, composure, final pass ability, and the capability to interpret different game situations.

The operation did not materialize last season because Celta de Vigo could not create the necessary space. The failure to offload players like Franco Cervi and Joseph Aidoo halted a deal that was on the table but never found the ideal scenario to be completed.

Now the situation repeats itself with similar nuances. According to MARCA, the club needs to part ways with six or seven players who are surplus before making certain acquisitions. Therefore, even though there is a strong liking for Denis Suárez, the deal does not seem imminent and will depend on the pace of player exits.

Celta de Vigo needs patience and wage margin

Celta de Vigo faces a market where impulsive actions are not an option. The sports management must cut costs and prioritize players who come on favorable terms. In this scenario, Denis Suárez would be an interesting opportunity, but not an automatic operation.

The midfielder is under contract for another season with Deportivo Alavés, so negotiation with the Vitorian club would be necessary. His market value is around one million euros, a manageable figure, yet the real focus will be on the deal's terms and the player's final salary.

For the player, a return would hold a special significance. Denis Suárez is content in Vitoria, where he has found stability, but coming back home has always been an appealing possibility. His departure from Celta left wounds and a bitter feeling among some of the fans, who never quite understood how that chapter ended.

Deportivo Alavés counts on Denis Suárez

Deportivo Alavés does not take a weak stance. Quique Sánchez Flores relies on Denis Suárez, and his performance last season was beneficial within the rotation. The Galician played 32 matches, accumulated 1,581 minutes, scored one goal, and provided two assists, stats that explain why there is no rush at Mendizorroza to let him go.

Furthermore, his experience holds weight in a squad that requires players capable of handling tough moments. At 32 years old, the midfielder retains passing quality, the ability to link up, and a tactical understanding that could be crucial for teams seeking better game control.

The key lies in the player's willingness and Celta's capacity to wait for the right moment. If the market progresses, if the sky-blue club streamlines the squad, and if Alavés agrees to a reasonable negotiation, the return could gather strength later on. Denis Suárez is not an easy deal, but Claudio Giráldez has not forgotten him, and Celta de Vigo knows that his return would make sense both from a sporting and emotional standpoint.
