Sebastián Cáceres arrives in Vigo to sign for Celta until 2030
The Uruguayan goes through a medical with Celta and, if all goes well, will sign a deal through June 2030.
Sebastián Cáceres has arrived in Vigo to undergo the medical check that comes before his move to Celta Vigo, according to Mundo Deportivo. The Uruguay international, aged 27, will sign a contract until June 2030 if the medical tests are passed.
The medical as final step
With the medical still pending, the clubs have already agreed on the transfer. As Mundo Deportivo reports, the deal will require Celta to pay slightly over seven million euros for the player.
A central with plenty of experience
Cáceres arrives for his first experience in Spanish football after more than six and a half seasons at Club América in Mexico. There he played over 200 official matches and won several trophies: three consecutive Liga MX titles, Campeón de Campeones, and the ‘Campeones Cup’.
His signing has also been discussed by Celta’s staff. Ahead of their match against Real Sociedad, coach Claudio Giráldez described what the Uruguayan can bring: “We knew him, we had been following him for a while. I think he can fit with what the team is looking for; he’ll give us a level of aggressiveness, duels, that we need there at the back. He can play in any of the three positions behind, and even as a full-back at certain moments,” Mundo Deportivo quotes the coach as saying.
The next thing to watch is the outcome of the medical tests to make the move official.
