The operation that they prepare from the Celtic offices with the hiring of this player, means that the renewal of the Celtic captain will not take place. At the moment that is the order of Carlos Carvalhal.
The captain and right back of RC Celta, we are talking about Hugo Mallo, could be playing his last games in Balaídos. This is how they imply it from inside the Galician club, with the new operation they are doing to sign a new right winger. It is known that he is pontevedres who is going to leave, because Kevin Vázquez’s contract extension is on the way.
In this way, Luis Campos has everything ready to go for the Panamanian Michael Murillo, who plays for the Anderlecht Club of Belgium. Despite the fact that he has 2 more years left on his contract, everything indicates that the Les Mauves Et Blancs team has the Central American in their sales folder. The player’s price fluctuates around 3 million euros.
Carvalhal approves the signing of Murillo as a replacement for Hugo Mallo at RC Celta
Hugo Mallo was on his way to becoming the next One Club Man for RC Celta, an achievement that only Manolo Rodríguez Alfonso has been able to achieve. However, the dream is very close to being cut short, as there is currently no renewal agreement. The most obvious sign that there won’t be one is the interest there is in the Panamanian winger. Besides, the announcement of the contract extension for the other right-back, Kevin Vázquez.
Before the Galician club immersed itself more and more in the operation of the Central American, the Portuguese coach, Carlos Carvalhal, approved the maneuver. Although the coach wanted the Celtiña captain to continue, he understands that it is an order from the presidency, so he will not oppose it. Likewise, he trusts that Murillo is up to the task and knows how to replace Mallo very well.
The numbers of Michael Murillo before arriving at RC Celta and being the replacement for Hugo Mallo
The Panamanian winger will complete his fourth season at Royal Sporting Club Anderlecht, where he has played 134 games, in which he has scored 14 goals and 17 assists. This campaign he has played 3,946 minutes spread over 45 games, in which he has scored 6 goals and put up 5 assists. Some very attractive numbers for a side.
Among his most striking qualities is his great offensive profile that allows him to play as another winger. Hence all his goals so far in his career. Carlos Carvalhal knows that he will have one more attacker on the flank with Michael Murillo as winger. That is why the approval of his transfer to the sports and general management of RC Celta.
