Celtica sports management, led by Garcés, has taken advantage of the fact that the attacking midfielder is in free agency and devised a strategy to get the canary's yes in less time than a rooster crows.
In recent days, midfielder Jonathan Viera left UD Las Palmas but quickly landed on RC Celta's agenda. The reasons that link the Galician club to the possible signing of the Canary Islands star There really are quite a few. The first is to acquire the services of a great player for free, but with an investment in his salary.
Celta sporting director Marco Garcés knows the signing doesn't seem easy, even though the former Valencia player doesn't want to leave Spain. And depending on the environment, there are offers from several exotic leagues, but the 34-year-old midfielder still wants to stay in the elite. However, if there are no guarantees, the most likely scenario is that former captain Pío Pío will leave LaLiga.
Celta's strategy to convince Jonathan Viera
The Celtiña team must not only offer good assets and match the remuneration he received in Gran Canaria, but also guarantee the excellence of the attacking midfielder. To put it more simply, Rafa Benítez's team wants to give the former Rayo Vallecano a place in the starting eleven. Thanks to an absence these days, the opportunity may arise.
Most people know that Franco-Ivorian attacker Jonathan Bamba, who has decided to play with the African team, has been called up by the Elephants to take part in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations. This was a loss that the Madrid coach greatly regretted, but one that Viera was able to make up for. Of course, only after the economic problems have been resolved.
The financial issue is Celta's biggest obstacle to signing Jonathan Viera
Several sources close to the Canary Islands club confirmed that one of the reasons why the former Valencia player left the team had economic nuances. Specifically, there was talk of an offer from the Middle East in which the footballer would receive a fairly high salary. The reason why the player decreased his performance by focusing on this fact.
In this way, RC Celta knows that economics will be crucial in this operation and Garcés knows it.. But then again, they can't offer more than what Carles Pérez (the player who earns the most) deserves. However, another important aspect is Rafa Benítez's sporting project, which is also a negative point since the team is in relegation places.
