Renato Tapia triggered the following on social networks of Celta de Vigo in Peru

A before and after the arrival of the Peruvian player. Renato Tapia has triggered the following of Celta de Vigo in Peru to become one of the countries with the most number of followers of the Galician club’s profile on his official Instagram account.

The entity chaired by Carlos Mouriño announced on Tuesday that it has reached the figure of 300,000 followers in this social network, of which six percent reside in Peru, which is also now the third country in number of followers of the RC Celta profile on Facebook (45,420), only behind Mexico (50,164) and Spain (137,273).

It should be noted that not only Peruvians stand out on Instagram. Lima is the second city in number of followers on Facebook with a total of 19,186, only behind Vigo, which has 34,814.

Renato Tapia meets the Peruvian National Team for the South American Qualifiers, but the midfielder arrived in Vigo in July 2020 after ending his contract with Feyenoord.

His good performance in Dutch football, the leadership shown in his national team and, above all, the need to reinforce the center of the field with a muscular footballer encouraged Felipe Miñambres to launch his signing.

It didn’t take long for Tapia to become Celta’s lung in midfield, first for Óscar García Junyent and later for Eduardo “Chacho” Coudet. Last season he played 32 games for a total of 2709 minutes in LaLiga, and in this he already played 11 games despite missing several rounds due to injury.
