Despite the fact that Willian Jose's departure has opened up a space in Manuel Pellegrini's squad, it is unlikely that Borja Iglesias will remain with Real Betis for the 2024-25 campaign. The 31-year-old was loaned out to Bayer Leverkusen for the second half of last season, and is almost certain to leave again this summer.
Celta Vigo wants him to replace Jorgen Strand Larsen, who joined Wolves earlier this month, and while talks had gone well on that operation, they now seem to have lost some traction. It is because Stuttgart entered the fact to sign Iglesias, as reported by AS Diary.
Stuttgart finished second in last season's Bundesliga, so they will play in the Champions League. This is sure to be a big incentive for Iglesias to make the move, and it is also noted that he felt comfortable in Germany when he was in Leverkusen. The Real Betis they will hope to arrange a permanent departure, although they may have to settle for another loan.
