Barcelona sell Denis Suarez to Celta Vigo

The Salceda midfielder will return to the club where he was trained and with which he made his debut with the Second B team at the age of 16 and when he was still a youth player.

Denis returns after playing for Manchester City, FC Barcelona, Sevilla, Villarreal and Arsenal. His list of honors includes two leagues, a Premier League, two HM the King’s Cups and a Europa League. International in all youth categories of the Spanish national team, debuted with the absolute national team in 2016."
