The arrival of Claudio Giráldez on the heavenly bench has changed everything, since the renewal of footballers like Renato Tapia was no longer considered certain but has come to a standstill.
Renato Tapia He was an important footballer in the plans of the Celtic in the last few seasons. This course started with very little awareness Rafa Benitez, but through effort he managed to turn the situation around until he established himself as a fundamental footballer. But at the moment he has not renewed his contract and the arrival of Claudio Giraldez could change everything.
The new coach, who arrives after a triumphant spell with the reserve team, has arrived Celtic with very clear ideas. So far, he has trusted young players as usual Hugo Sotelo, who has established himself as a starter in midfield. These leaves Renato Tapia in a very delicate situation as he has once again lost his place in the starting eleven.
The renewal of the paralyzed Renato Tapia
Just a few weeks ago, before the dismissal of Rafa Benítez, Renato Tapia’s renewal seemed to be on the right track. But now everything has come to a standstill again. The team is once again only one step away from relegation, so the board does not want to take any measures that could endanger the future of the club in the event of a league loss.
Another fundamental factor to take into account is the arrival of Claudio Giráldez. As already mentioned, the coach has blind trust in the youth team. No wonder, because he knows some players very well who have given him great performances in the reserve team. Therefore, the club could loosen up the squad of experienced players who are not important to the new coach.
Celta has secured its squad well
In addition to Renato Tapia, who will be a free agent next June if he does not renew his contract, Celta does not have another player whose contract ends at the end of this season. In 2025, problems will increase as up to six footballers will be free by the end of next year.
These are footballers Hugo Alvarez, Kevin Vázquez, Vicente Guaita, Jailson, Javier Manquillo and Iago Aspas. Knowing the future of the team, Celta’s sports management will begin the process of renewing these players. But first, both the board and the workforce are fully focused on stability. A consistency that will be essential for the implementation of a new project.
