Celta de Vigo is practically finalizing the g of Iker Losada, who will return to the club where he was trained after his time at Real Betis. Pending official confirmation, the attacking midfielder will go back to Balaídos on a loan deal, aiming to provide continuity for a player who has not found prominence in the Verdiblanco squad.
The lack of playing time has been the main reason that led Losada to reconsider his future. Since his arrival in Seville last summer, the footballer has played just 15 official matches, with only three starts in LaLiga. His involvement in Manuel Pellegrini's team has been minimal, and the recent arrival of Antony to the Betis squad has further reduced his opportunities.

Betis, needing to free up space in its squad and adjust its wage bill, looks favorably upon the departure of the midfielder. In addition to the loan to Celta, the Andalusian club has reportedly considered the possibility of including Losada in a swap deal for Tasos Douvikas, although this alternative has not yet materialized.
One of the points still to be defined is whether the loan will include a purchase option or if it will simply run until the end of the season. With a contract running until 2029, Betis is not willing to let go of the player for an amount less than what was invested less than a year ago.
In the midst of negotiations, Losada did not take part in Betis' last training session, officially due to a viral illness. However, his absence has fueled speculation about his imminent departure. All signs point to the fact that in the days, the youth academy product of Celta will once again don the sky-blue outfit under the command of Claudio Giráldez.
