Galán, 28, was revealed by Córdoba, then went to Huesca, with whom he rose to the first division.
In 2021, he signed with Celta and now starts to reinforce the left side of the mattress, a position in which “he stands out for his great offensive projection, for his arrivals at the bottom line and for his crosses in the area”, says Atlético.
