Espanyol and Celta work on the last fringes for the transfer of Denis Suárez

Twelve days ago, Celta de Vigo issued a statement denying that Denis Suárez was going out on loan to Espanyol. The olive club only contemplated that the midfielder would leave free and after forgiving the file corresponding to the second half of the year. Domingo Catoira, for his part, assured that the option of signing the Galician went through a total separation from the Celtic team. A few days later, Luis Campos obtained the commitment of Carlos Mouriño for the player to leave the club. But reality denied all the actors and Espanyol will have to pay 250,000 euros (200,000 in case of relegation) according to La Voz de Galicia to take over the Salceda footballer until June.

Denis Suárez will have to forgive some amounts that Celta owed him. The player was scheduled to travel to Barcelona this Sunday with the idea of ​​passing the medical examination and being able to train on Monday under the orders of Diego Catoira, but for the moment both clubs continue to close fringes for the transfer. If nothing goes wrong, the midfielder will join Espanyol until June and will later join Villarreal, with whom he has an agreement for the next three seasons.

Diego Martínez will have a luxury reinforcement for the blue and white midfielder, a very classy midfielder and a 'squire' or luxury relief for Darder. Although his immediate performance is in question, since he has not played for more than seven months. In any case, Suárez's versatility allows him to also play on the wing, where Espanyol needed to find a player in this winter transfer window.

With the goodbye of Suárez el Celta will put an end to one of the conflicts that had most stressed the Galician parish. The dispute between Mouriño and Suárez lasted too long. The midfielder will not be linked to his club in the year of his 100th anniversary.
