Atlético de Madrid continues to work to strengthen its ranks as best as possible for the upcoming season of the Spanish League and the various international tournaments that they will play, for which they announced the hiring of left-back Javi Galán, who arrives from Celta de Vigo to form part of the mattresses for the next three seasons.
The 28-year-old player successfully passed the medical exams of the metropolitan organization and will now have the task of supporting the team after they paid Celta the sum of $5 million dollars, between fixed and variable, plus the transfer of Manu Sánchez; This figure from Atlético de Madrid will play in his new team when his participation in the Under-21 Euro Cup concludes.
The information was released by the Spanish team through a statement on their social networks in which they welcomed the left-handed player; The negotiations on this movement accelerated two weeks ago between Miguel Ángel Gil, CEO of Atlético, and Carlos Mouriño, president of Celta.
“Javi Galán is a new player for our club after the agreement reached with Celta de Vigo for the transfer of the left-back, who will wear rojiblanco until June 30, 2026. Formed in the lower categories of Córdoba, he debuted with the first team of the Andalusian team in the 2016/17 season and in 2019 he undertook a new professional challenge to make the leap to the highest category of Spanish football in Huesca ”, the club detailed.
“He spent two and a half seasons with the Huesca team and was a participant in the promotion of the Aragonese club to LaLiga the following season. Already in the 2021/22 academic year, Celta de Vigo signed Javi Galán, who has played for the Vigo squad for the last two seasons, during which he has played a total of 79 games and scored one goal. Javi Galán, who works as a left-back, stands out for his great offensive projection, for his arrivals to the end line and his crosses into the area, ”they added.
Galán will be in charge of filling Reguilón’s vacancy within the team and increasing the competition that exists in the squad for the starting control of the left back; Players like Reinildo (out until October or November 2023), Hermoso and Carrasco are also fighting in that position.
The new signing of Atlético de Madrid played a total of 40 games last season with Celta de Vigo in which he managed to score one goal and provided four assists; This decision is also supported by the few injuries he has suffered in his career as a professional footballer and he is emerging as one of the best left-backs in the entire championship.
