Spanish midfielder Damián Rodríguez is close to joining Portuguese Primeira Liga team Alverca on loan. The 23-year-old's loan to Racing de Santander from the previous winter transfer window was automatically extended when the club was promoted to La Liga. However, Racing does not plan to use him in the top division, and as a result, he is not training with Celta under Claudio Giráldez. His contract with the Vigo club is set to expire in 2028. His current Transfermarkt market value is €2.00m, and Granada has also been linked with the player.
