Celta transfers its interest in Pepelu to Levante

The Under-21 international has just contracted with the Barça club on June 30 and it is difficult for him to renew because he has several ‘girlfriends’ in the First Division

Celta de Vigo transferred this Friday to Levante its interest in hiring the U21 international Jose Luis Garcia, ‘Pepelu’, who has just contracted with the Barça club on June 30, sources close to the negotiation informed Efe.

The midfielder played 29 games last season -2,005 minutes- and It was a fixture in Paco López’s eleventh goal as after the Italian coach Alessio Lisci.

For this reason, despite his relegation to the Second Division, Levante’s new sports director, Felipe Miñambres, former Celta player, presented to Pepelu’s agents a renewal offer who assume that it will be difficult for him to accept because he has “several offers” from First, including Celta.
