 Celta Vigo made a loan offer for Mido in March , which was reported to have fallen through days later as it was not approved by FIFA . However , FIFA eventually allowed the move to go through and it was completed on 18 March . He scored on his Celta Vigo debut against Athletic Bilbao , which Celta won 2 – 1 . Ajax valued Mido between the values of € 5 million and € 6 million , amidst interest from clubs in Italy and Spain . Newcastle United were reportedly on the verge of making a bid for Mido in May , but this was ruled out by Mido 's agent Christophe Henrotay . Ajax attempted to make him return to the club , but he declined this , in favour of staying at Celta . He suffered a muscle injury whilst training in May , but was available to play in Celta 's match against Villarreal CF , which saw Mido sent off in a game which Celta lost 5 – 0 . Mido was linked with a move to A.S. Roma in late May , with Roma chairman Franco Sensi stating " I want Mido " , but Ajax revealed they wanted € 15 million for him . Ajax turned down a loan move from Real Betis for Mido in June . Marseille were then believed to have made an offer for the striker and Celta were not ready to meet Ajax 's asking price of € 15 million .
