When the possibility of his departure from Celta de Vigo was more latent than ever -in the last few hours there was more than just an interest from Cádiz- a call-up for the match for the third round of LaLiga in Spain made Renato Tapia increase his chances of staying in the Celeste team. Without a doubt, great news that is also applauded in Videna, since the start of the qualifying rounds for the World Cup in Canada, the United States, and Mexico 2026 is just around the corner.
And for Rafa Benítez, the Peruvian midfielder is a key piece in his starting lineup, so he did not hesitate to include him in the team concentration for the match against Real Madrid, one of the favorites to win the tournament.
Although it hasn't been confirmed that Renato Tapia will be considered from the start at Celta de Vigo, his call-up only reaffirms the player's commitment to his current team, the same team that is considering an extension of the contract that binds them until the end of this season.

What happened with the potential transfer of Renato Tapia to Lyon?
As recalled, on July 5, L'Equipé reported on the interest of Olympique Lyon, one of the most emblematic teams in France, in acquiring the services of Renato Tapia. Since then, the French club has been in touch with the Celta directors to learn about the necessary conditions to sign the player.
With only one year left on his contract, Celta de Vigo sees no problem in selling Renato Tapia, especially since they didn't spend a single dollar on his signing (he arrived as a free agent). In other words, with only 12 months left, it is an opportunity they don't plan to miss to generate some cash.
However, to date, no news has been reported regarding the case. Even Spanish media outlets state that the Peruvian would continue in Vigo due to Rafa Benítez's insistence, and he could even be renewed in January, according to information from La Razón.
