Liverpool competes against City now for the signing of Gabri Veiga

Liverpool and Manchester City are set to go head-to-head in their pursuit of Celta Vigo midfielder Gabri Veiga. The 21-year-old had a standout season in La Liga, impressing with his goal-scoring ability from midfield. Veiga found the back of the net 11 times in the league, including a brace against Barcelona in a crucial match that helped Celta avoid relegation.

Liverpool identified Veiga as one of their midfield targets and have been monitoring his progress closely. Impressed by his performances, they saw him as a potential addition to their squad. However, Manchester City, who had initially been in pursuit of West Ham’s Declan Rice, are now in the race too, as per Fabrizio. This is a huge blow to Liverpool as they might now have to overspend with City in the race.

Many clubs are looking for Veiga other than Liverpool and City

Veiga’s talent and potential have caught the attention of Chelsea, who see him as a valuable addition to their rejuvenated squad.

Meanwhile, Veiga’s release clause of €40 million has made him an attractive target for clubs looking to secure his services. Any potential suitors will need to trigger this release clause in order to enter into negotiations with Celta Vigo. The hefty price tag reflects Veiga’s potential and the impact he has already made at such a young age.

Veiga currently remains focused on his current commitments with the Spanish U21 national team in the European Championships. Veiga emphasized his concentration is on U-21 tournament and his desire is to perform well for his country. Despite the interest from top clubs, he is not looking too far ahead now.
