Celta thrashed Al Nassr 5-0 in regular time, but the triangular Algarve Trophy determines that each game must have a penalty shootout and in it Renato Tapia scored his shot for 4-4 of the shots from twelve steps. Now the Peruvian team will face Benfica this Friday.

But today is not for celebrations for Renato Tapia. Last week it was learned that his signing for Lyon was on standby because the French team must comply with economic regulations established by the Direction Nationale du Controle de Gestión (DNCG). That is to say, he must lower his salary mass to be able to specify reinforcements, as happens to Barcelona in Spain.

For this reason, despite having an agreement between Lyon and Celta for the transfer for 5 million euros and the French agreement with the player for a contract for four seasons, today the negotiations depend on the French being able to make some sales to be in blue financially.

“Limited by the measures taken by the DNCG against him, Olympique Lyon has not yet been able to finalize this transfer,” L’Equipe reported on what happened. In the last hours it became known that the sanction will continue against Lyon, so the future of the Peruvian is complicated.

His nationalization

There is a reason why Renato Tapia can remain at Celta by his own decision and he is dealing with the procedures for his Spanish nationalization.

The Peruvian arrived in Spain in July 2020 and could now opt for naturalization. The community passport would help him with future transfers.

“After two years, nationalization by residence is requested and Tapia has already been there for three,” Alberto Bravo tells us.

Lyon must sell players to be able to release their box and their plans are to sell Castello Lukeba to Leipzig. The German team has made an offer for 26 million euros plus a 6 million bonus, but the French team expects the figure to reach 30 million plus bonuses.

“The idea is that the sale of Renato Tapia is completed, but the problem is how long it may take,” says Alberto Bravo, from “El Desmarque” in Spain. The French transfer market closes on August 31, but Celta wants to close the exit as soon as possible to also sign and prepare their team. On the departure list are, in addition to Tapia, Joseph Aidoo, Rubén Blanco and above all Gabri Veiga, for whom they expect 40 million euros.

Outcome

Lyon have already signed the likes of Skelly Alvero from Sochaux and Clinton Mata from Brugge. But Lyon would not be the only option for Renato Tapia, but the interest of Porto de Portugal has not passed more than rumor. The concrete thing is that the Peruvian has a contract with Celta until June 2024, so the Galician team is looking to sell it now since next year he will be a free player.

“In Celta’s planning, there is no offer to renew the contract,” adds Alberto. It is that the current situation of the Peruvian is not the best. He lost his midfield role to Fran Beltrán, although he came to play center back towards the end of the season, and the Spanish side is looking for new options for that role. “They are negotiating for another player to replace him and they are after a 20-year-old Belgian from Wolfsburg, who this year played in Milan,” added the journalist.

The concrete thing is that now Renata Tapia continues training at Celta and participates in official activities. On Thursday of last week she was part of the preview of the Centennial Hymn and a day later she was in Rome for an audience with the Pope.

Celta works under the command of the new coach, Rafa Benítez, who assured that it is possible that he could play with five defenders, which would allow Tapia to have a place as a libero in the team.
