Celta Vigo Seeks Loan Move for Defender Joseph Aidoo
Joseph Aidoo,the 29-year-old center-back for Celta de Vigo,is reportedly on the transfer market. the La Liga club is actively seeking a loan deal for the Ghanaian defender, with UD Las Palmas and Real Valladolid emerging as potential suitors.
According to journalist Matteo moretto, writing for Relief, UD Las Palmas is currently the frontrunner to secure Aidoo’s services. The Canary Islands team is looking to bolster its defensive line for the remainder of the season. Interestingly,UD Las Palmas has received a €7 million offer from AS Roma for their current center-back,Mika Mármol,possibly opening the door for Aidoo to fill the void. Though, UD Las Palmas is holding firm on Mármol’s €10 million release clause.
Celta Vigo, meanwhile, is prioritizing a loan move for Aidoo to ensure he receives regular playing time. This strategy aims to increase his market value ahead of a potential sale next summer, when his contract enters its final year.
While Celta Vigo prefers a loan arrangement, UD Las Palmas could negotiate a purchase option as part of the deal, allowing them to secure Aidoo permanently if he impresses during his loan spell.
