The club today officially confirmed that they have started negotiations with Arsenal regarding a possible transfer of Manuel Almunia.
The 27-year-old goalkeeper has spent the entire season with a team he was loaned to. The likelihood of the player moving to England is increased by the fact that "Celta" dropped to a lower division in Spanish football despite reaching the Champions League second round.
"We can confirm that we are negotiating with Arsenal regarding a possible player transfer," said a "Celta" representative. "We did not discuss the price - that is a matter for both clubs' directors."
Since legendary England goalkeeper and Arsenal player David Seaman left the big football scene, the Gunners' goal has been guarded by Jens Lehmann. Although coach Arsene Wenger has always insisted that he is satisfied with the German's game, he has faced criticism from fans.
