Nottingham Forest in Negotiations for Celta Vigo Right-Back Javi Rueda
Nottingham Forest is currently negotiating a €15 million deal to sign Celta Vigo defender Javi Rueda. The 24-year-old former Real Madrid academy player is being targeted to fill a right wing-back role for the club.
Nottingham Forest has entered into discussions with Celta Vigo regarding the potential transfer of right-back Javi Rueda. The proposed deal is valued at approximately €15 million (£12.8 million) and is expected to be the club's final incoming transfer of the current window.
Javi Rueda, a 24-year-old former Spain youth international, is viewed as a strategic fit for the right wing-back position. Having developed through the Real Madrid academy, Rueda moved to Celta Vigo three years ago. As part of the transfer agreement, Real Madrid is reportedly entitled to 50% of the transfer fee generated by the sale.
Rueda experienced a significant breakthrough with Celta Vigo’s first team during the previous season. His performance record includes 26 appearances in La Liga and 11 appearances in the Europa League, where he contributed to the team's advancement to the quarter-finals. The move is intended to address specific tactical needs identified by the coaching staff as the transfer window nears its conclusion.
