LaLiga's transfer market keeps moving pieces and Celta de Vigo has been one of the main players in recent days. The sky-blue fans went wild on social media with a campaign that ended up closing one of the most desired signings of the summer.
Everything started with a wave of images and memes that flooded the club's posts. The followers kept comparing a player to Phineas Flynn, the funny character from the animated series "Phineas and Ferb." His physical resemblance caught everyone's attention, and the club quickly joined in on this wave with a brilliant idea.
Celta's communications department created a video that recreates the series' intro, but adapted to the context of the transfer market. In the song, which has a catchy touch, you can hear:
"Since we've got about sixty days of transfers and LALIGA is back again. A summer signing, the most desired one, we're going to have a blast."
The video features a character with a mustache and Celta's jersey, accompanied by a seagull, the team's symbol. This action was not only creative, but it also achieved millions of views and thousands of interactions on X within a few hours.
The desired signing arrives in Vigo
After weeks of rumors and negotiations, Celta confirmed the arrival of Bryan Zaragoza, the young winger from Málaga who has been on the radar of several big clubs, including Barça. However, despite Barça's interest, his signing for the Catalan club didn't materialize.
The talks between clubs were lengthy and at some point were on the verge of collapse, but in recent days negotiations intensified to finalize his loan to Celta. The player arrived in Santiago on Tuesday, signed on Wednesday, and by Thursday he was already training with Claudio Giráldez.
Less competition for Raphinha
Bryan Zaragoza's arrival has an important impact on Celta's attack. With the Málaga native in the squad, Raphinha will see a reduction in direct competition for an attacking spot. The Brazilian remains the star of the sky-blue attack and now will have a fast and unpredictable player who won't take away his spotlight.
The fact that Bryan didn't sign for Barça allows Celta to let Raphinha shine without so much pressure, which could improve his performance.
A Celta eager for more
With this addition, Celta is trying to combine youth and talent to make a leap in quality this season. The followers are already excited to see this young player adapt and help a team that aims to be a main player in LaLiga.
It will be interesting to follow the evolution of both players in an attack that promises to be dynamic and effective. The summer transfer market has brought good news for Celta and, above all, for its fans.
