Official: Real Betis youngster seals Celta Vigo return

La Liga outfit Celta Vigo have on Thursday announced the return of a former member of the club’s attacking ranks.

The player to have penned terms with the Celestes through the summer? Iker Losada.

Youngster Losada for his part sealed a departure from Balaídos back in the summer of 2023, when his search for regular game-time at senior level led the 23-year-old to Racing Ferrol.

His time in Spain’s 2nd tier, however, did not last long, as Losada’s excellence across the 2023/24 campaign culminated in a return to La Liga with Real Betis.

Across the opening half of the term, the versatile attacker/midfielder went on to play something of a bit-part role for Manuel Pellegrini’s side, to the tune of 10 league appearances, but just three starts.

Recent weeks, in turn, had seen it suggested that Losada could soon be on the move once more.

And, as alluded to above, on Thursday, precisely as much has been confirmed.

As per a statement across their website and social media platforms, Celta Vigo have snapped up the club’s academy graduate on loan for the remainder of the term:
