Ilias Akhomach: Celta de Vigo linked with move for Morocco-Spain winger from Villarreal

Morocco-Spain right winger Ilias Akhomach, who currently plays in LaLiga and is listed with Villarreal in the rumour, is being linked with a move to Celta de Vigo as speculation builds over his next step in Spain.

The 22-year-old, valued at €12.00m on Transfermarkt, is the subject of a reported approach from Celta, with the probability of a deal currently listed as “?” and no confirmed contract expiry date made public. The uncertainty around his contractual situation has led to talk that he could yet become available as a free agent if no agreement is reached with his employers.

Born on 16 April 2004 in Hostalets de Pierola, the 1.75m left-footed attacker is primarily deployed as a right winger in the attacking line. He holds both Moroccan and Spanish nationality, reflecting his dual footballing identity, and is regarded as a technically gifted wide player with scope for further development.

Akhomach is currently registered with Rayo Vallecano, where he wears the number 12 shirt, but the latest market data underpin the rumour of Villarreal as the club from which Celta are exploring a potential deal. His market value of €12.00m provides a benchmark for any negotiation, though no transfer fee or contract duration has been disclosed.

Recent match information records him featuring in LaLiga this season, though detailed statistics beyond appearances and performances in specific fixtures are not listed in the available data, and there is no confirmed standout individual display against a named opponent on a particular date in the current campaign.

With his main position fixed on the right flank and experience already accumulated in Spain’s top flight, a move to Celta de Vigo – whether for a fee or following a contract expiry – would represent another significant step in his career and could shape his reputation as one of the more intriguing young wide forwards in LaLiga if the transfer materialises.
