Unai Núñez set to begin Celta pre-season with chance to earn place | OneFootball

Unai Núñez will report for pre-season under Claudio Giráldez at Celta de Vigo, with an opportunity to compete for a squad place as the club prepare for three competitions next season.

According to Superdeporte, the Basque defender ended the campaign strongly at Valencia, and that surge has put him in Celta’s short-term plans.

Celta felt this season the risks of tackling three tournaments with limited defensive cover, and Giráldez wants greater depth next term to sustain competitiveness.

Núñez showed commitment, aggression and experience at Mestalla, operating at centre-back and right-back. His profile appeals because he became Valencia’s utility option in a pivotal second half, solving problems for Corberán both centrally and on the right.

His adaptability offers cover across the back line as Giráldez assesses options in Vigo ahead of the new campaign.
