The transfer of Celtic’s Carl Starfelt to La Liga outfit Celta Vigo has reached its conclusion, as reported by Fabrizio Romano. According to Romano, the deal has been sealed, with Starfelt committing to a four-year contract with the Spanish side.

This news follows earlier speculation from Spanish publication Relevo, which had anticipated a deal of just under €5 million in the region.

While the exact financial details of the transaction remain undisclosed, the duration of Starfelt’s contract at Celta Vigo indicates the club’s faith in his abilities and their intention to embed him as a key figure in their defence for the foreseeable future.

The move marks a significant chapter in Starfelt’s career. Having showcased his prowess at Celtic by playing a vital role in their capture of five trophies over two seasons, he now gears up for a fresh challenge in one of the world’s most competitive leagues.

While Celtic has lost a defensive first team star, preparations for his departure were already underway, exemplified by the earlier signing of promising defender Nawrocki and now with the rumours Gustaf Lagerbielke’s potential move to the Scottish Champions.
