Celta de Vigo lost in their visit to Real Madrid for matchday 30 of LaLiga 2022-23, and they are already looking ahead to the next league season, where the Galicians are on the verge of securing a place in the top category of Spanish football. The club's president, Carlos Mouriño, is well aware of that and referred to the future of Renato Tapia in the team.
"He is a profitable signing in sports and has helped us a lot personally. He is a tremendously positive player, collaborates in everything, and is very involved with us. For us, he is a very important asset, not only in the game," Mouriño said about the arrival of the 'Cabezón' in 2020.
However, he also took the opportunity to comment on the future of the national midfielder, whose contract expires in June of next season.
"He has a valid contract, but we have not yet talked about the planning for next season. We are waiting for these matches to see our level, and we want to build a team that defends well for our centenary, although we have not yet started working on it," the president added about the Peruvian.
Technical Director of Celta Filled Tapia with Praise
Despite Celta's 2-0 loss to Real Madrid at Santiago Bernabeu on Saturday, April 22, coach Carlos Carvalhal highlighted Renato Tapia's performance, noting that he played a great match despite playing as a center-back instead of in midfield.
"He had a great game. The central position is not new for us. He is a player who has a great reading of the game, provides good aerial play, positions himself well, and something important for us, which is the technical ability to play the ball controlled. Satisfied with him and the whole team," said the Celta de Vigo strategist at the end of the game.
