In Argentina, Celta is not only talked about due to the arrival of Eduardo Coudet to his bench. As a result of the signing of Chacho, the press of the South American country has launched into the celestial orbit players who can land in Vigo endorsed by their compatriot. Midfielders Nacho Fernandez, from River plate, Y Pol Fernandez, currently on loan por the Blue Cross mexican in Boca Juniors, stand out in the middle of that rumor mill.
It is not the first time that Nacho's name has been linked to the olívica entity. During the summer of 2018, weeks after Toni Mohamed will take the reins of the bench Bullets, a similar situation was experienced. This time, TNT Sports ensures that Coudet wants the international flyer, 30 years old. This interest comes from afar, because the coach already requested his signing when he began his stage in the Porto Alegre International.
The figures for this operation, with a $ 10 million clause which will drop to 7 in mid-2021, they are not the main obstacle to this operation. Nacho, like Pol, does not have community passport and Celta has the quota covered with Néstor Araújo, Lucas Olaza and Renato Tapia.
If there is a free extra-community place in the January market, either for an exit or for obtaining a passport, the most economical option Its the Pol. Boca reported this Wednesday that the midfielder has declined the option to extend the loan that ends on December 31. According to him Olé newspaper, the managers of the Buenos Aires club suspect that behind this decision is a Celta proposal.
Coudet knows Pol first-hand because he had him at his command in the season that he won the Argentine league title with Racing Club. Several media point out that Cruz Azul would welcome cash with this 29-year-old footballer whose contract expires in 2022. The web Transfermarkt gives you a market value of 2.8 millions of euros.
