La Liga
Real Betis has already drawn a firm line regarding the future of Borja Iglesias: they will not let him leave for less than 4 million euros. That is the minimum amount demanded by the Seville club to close any deal with Celta de Vigo, who aims to keep the forward after his strong performances at Balaídos. Although the player has adapted well to the Galician system and has achieved significant numbers — 11 goals and 3 assists in LaLiga — the negotiation will not be easy for Vigo.
In Heliópolis, they are not willing to incur losses with a player for whom they invested close to 28 million in 2019. Beyond the sporting aspect, Betis' decision is influenced by accounting factors: a significant portion of that transfer fee still needs to be amortized. In addition, Borja Iglesias still has a valid contract until mid-2026, obliging the club to consider his situation within the salary cap.
Celta de Vigo sets Borja Iglesias' selling price
Another factor complicating the negotiation is the high salary of the forward, which represents a considerable burden for Betis. Without an offer approaching the set figure, there is no intention to open the door to a low-cost exit. The Verdiblanco entity is clear that they will not facilitate the player's departure without clear economic guarantees.
Celta, on the other hand, values Borja as an important piece for their attack, but they will need to adjust their proposals if they want to secure his return. Time is ticking, but in Seville, there is no rush.
