Hugo Sotelo (20) is called to be an important piece in the Celtic the next seasons. The light blue midfielder is becoming more and more important within the group and his continuity was a priority for the club. Sotelo’s contract ended in 2025 and the negotiations to extend the contract have been really tough.
So much so that in the summer it seemed like they were broken. The player was out of the first team dynamic and worked with the reserve team for a week. There he decided to take a step forward to find a solution, since his desire was to continue in the club of his life, which he joined when he was a junior. He made his debut in Primera with the first team on May 16, 2021 in a Barcelona 1-2 Celta team at just 17 years old.
Although it has not yet reached thirty games (28), it is considered one of the great jewels of the future and its renewal has been welcomed by the fans with great joy.
The Club’s statement
”RC Celta closes the renewal of youth player Hugo Sotelo after an exciting agreement to advance the consolidation of the youth team. The 20-year-old midfielder and RC Celta’s Director of Football, Marco Garcés, have signed a contract that binds him to the club until June 2028.
