Liverpool target Gabri Veiga to leave Celta Vigo this summer
Liverpool are in luck in their pursuit of Gabri Veiga, as Celta Vigo’s president has confirmed that they expect the midfielder to leave this summer. Veiga has been on the radar of both clubs due to his impressive performances in the Spanish top flight. (h/t ECHO)
The 20-year-old midfielder has been a standout performer for Celta Vigo this season, featuring in all but one of their games and that too, he missed due to a red card suspension. His fine form has seen his stock rise exponentially, and he has attracted interest from top clubs across Europe. In 29 appearances across all competitions, he has scored nine goals and has a further three assists this season,
Despite the fact that his contract at Celta Vigo lasts until 2026 (Transfermarkt), the La Liga club’s president, Carlos Mourino, has accepted that they could stand forced to sell the young talent. (h/t ECHO) This news will come as a boost to Liverpool and Manchester United as both these clubs see themselves linked with Veiga in recent months.
As Liverpool look to compete for honours on both the domestic and international stage, the acquisition of young talent like Veiga will be crucial to the team’s success. The midfielder’s technical ability and potential make him an excellent addition to the squad.
Veiga to the Reds soon?
Veiga’s arrival at Anfield could provide competition for the likes of Fabinho, Thiago, and Jordan Henderson, as Liverpool aim to strengthen their midfield. His presence would also allow Jurgen Klopp to rotate his squad more effectively, ensuring that Liverpool remain competitive on all fronts.
The midfield depth this season at the Reds has been pretty slim and we certainly need reinforcements in that department. With a number of players including Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain set to leave the club this summer after the end of their contracts, it is essential that Liverpool reinvest in their squad.
Reports suggest that the 20-year-old has a release clause of £35m, which has piqued the interest of the Reds. That is a significant amount of money but Veiga has the potential to become a top player in the future.
If Liverpool were to activate Veiga’s release clause and sign him this summer, it would be a significant investment in the team’s future. At just 20 years of age, Veiga has the potential to develop into a top-class midfielder, and his signing could pay dividends in the long run.
