Inter and Barca target wants Champions League move in January
Speaking to the press, Lobotka revealed his aspirations to leave Celta Vigo in January, to play for a Champions League club; putting all the interested clubs on red alert:
“Yes, in the summer there were offers from different clubs, but I will play with Celta at least for half the season. Future? It is clear that all Celta players want to try an adventure in a bigger club in Europe. In football, everyone wants to play in the Champions League. Anyway, I'm happy here, I focus on doing well with Celta, then in January we'll see what happens.”
Lobotka has a €42million release clause in his Celta contract however it is likely that the clubs interested would not need to pay this much, given the player’s intention to leave the club.
