Celta Vigo Reportedly Interested in Castellón Forward Ousmane Camara
Celta Vigo are reportedly interested in signing Ousmane Camara, the Guinean forward currently playing for Castellón in Spain’s second division.
The 24-year-old has made an encouraging start to the season, scoring four goals and providing one assist in seven LaLiga 2 appearances. His performances have reportedly attracted Celta’s attention, although the extent of the club’s interest remains unclear.
Camara has started 70% of Castellón’s possible league matches and has played 68% of the team’s available minutes, underlining his involvement in the side’s campaign.
What It Means
A potential move to Celta would offer Camara an opportunity to step up to LaLiga and test himself at a higher level of Spanish football.
His early-season scoring record could strengthen his case for a move, but reported interest does not necessarily mean Celta are preparing a formal bid. Castellón may also be reluctant to lose a forward who remains under contract for several more years.
Background
Camara joined Castellón from AJ Auxerre in August 2024 in a transfer reportedly worth €500,000. Before that move, he spent part of the 2023-24 season on loan at FC Annecy before returning to Auxerre, who won the French second division title that campaign.
The Guinean forward is contracted to Castellón until 30 June 2029. His current market value is listed at €2.5 million, although this figure is an estimate rather than a confirmed transfer price.
There is currently no reported fee for a potential move to Celta, and the stage reached in any discussions has not been established.
What Happens Next
It remains to be seen whether Celta will turn their reported interest into a formal approach. Any potential deal would require negotiations with Castellón, who hold the forward’s registration under a long-term contract.
Camara’s performances over the coming weeks could influence the level of attention he receives, but for now he remains part of Castellón’s squad. No agreement or transfer has been confirmed.
