Daniel Abalo Paulos

Celta

Born in Vilagarcía de Arousa, Province of Pontevedra, Abalo joined local RC Celta de Vigo for his last year as a junior, then proceeded to make his senior debut with the B team in the Segunda División B. He made his first competitive appearance with the main squad, on 3 December 2006, coming in as a late substitute in a 2–2 La Liga away draw against RCD Mallorca. In late July 2009, he extended his contract with the Galicians until 2013, with a buyout clause of €10 million. From 2008 to 2011, with Celta in the Segunda División, Abalo was an important first-team element. However, in the 2011–12 season, as the club returned to the top flight after an absence of five years, he contributed only four games and 67 minutes, being subsequently loaned in quick succession to Gimnàstic de Tarragona and S.C. Beira-Mar (the latter in Portugal).

Ludogorets

On 26 June 2013, Bulgarian champions PFC Ludogorets Razgrad announced they were set to sign Abalo after he became a free agent shortly after. The transfer was completed the following day after he passed his medical, and the player agreed to a two-year contract, being given the number 17 shirt. Abalo played his first game with his new team on 17 July 2013, featuring in a 2–1 defeat away to ŠK Slovan Bratislava in the second qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League. He made his league debut three days later in the 1–0 loss at FC Lyubimets; in the second leg against Slovan on the 24th, he scored twice for a 3–0…
