"Barcelona" defender Andreu Fontas will wear Vigo "Celta" team jersey next season. On Thursday evening, the Catalan club officially announced the sale of the 23-year-old footballer for 1 million euros. The Spanish champions retained the right of first refusal to buy back the defender or receive a certain percentage from his transfer if he moved to another team from "Celta". Last season, A. Fontas was loaned to the "RCD Mallorca" team, but the Balearic Islands club performed poorly in the Spanish championship and dropped out of the top league. The player will sign a three-year contract with the "Celta" team. By the way, the Galician club will be coached by former "Barcelona" player and youth team strategist Luis Enrique next season. It was this specialist who led the reserve team of "Barca" from 2008 to 2010, when A. Fontas played for it.
