Álvaro Marín, a goalscorer with a ceiling

Celta's Álvaro Marín leads Segunda's scoring chart but faces a barrier to first-team opportunities due to not being under 23, with manager Giráldez prioritizing Borja Iglesias.

Álvaro Marín has emerged as Segunda Division's top scorer this season, but his path to regular Celta first-team football remains blocked by the club's preference for younger players. Manager Claudio Giráldez is waiting for Borja Iglesias to return to full fitness before considering giving Marín a sustained opportunity in La Liga.

The goalscorer's age — he does not qualify as a sub-23 player — appears to be a factor in the club's reluctance to promote him despite his prolific form in the second tier.
