Interest in Gabri Veiga continues to grow, with Liverpool, Tottenham, and Manchester United joining the chase for the Spaniard.
According to Atlantico, Gabri Veiga has many suitors, including Liverpool, Tottenham and Manchester United, in addition to those previously reported. The €40 million-rated La Liga prodigy could leave Celta Vigo next summer with a move to a bigger club beckons.
Gabri Veiga is a player that has the attention of so many clubs. Interest in the 20-year-old continues to grow with each passing week, with a chunk of it coming from the Premier League. Celta Vigo could resign themselves to listen to offers. But they will demand clubs pay his release clause.
The release clause stands at €40 million. And considering the talent at hand, it may not prove an obstacle for clubs trying to pry him away. The interest of Spanish giants Real Madrid and Barcelona were reported in the media.
Real Madrid even appointed Pini Zahavi to mediate a potential transfer. But the admiration of Premier League giants Arsenal and Manchester City may have turned Veiga’s head. The La Liga prodigy could opt for a project. But the pull of Real Madrid cannot be discounted at any stage.
Reports suggested Veiga was dreaming of a move to Arsenal. But now, many other clubs are in the mix. Tottenham, Liverpool and Manchester United have joined the chase for the La Liga prodigy, each keen on paying his release clause.
Liverpool are in the market for a new attacking player who could also operate as a midfielder. The closest name linked with a move to Anfield is Mason Mount, who has a similar profile to Veiga. However, there are chances Chelsea could price out Jurgen Klopp with Mount, and that could force the German to look for alternatives.
Manchester United are also mentioned as suitors. Erik ten Hag remains open to adding key attacking talent, although he would mind paying higher fees. The Red Devils have spent heavily on young talents, but some have yet to become genuine game-changers.
Hence, ten Hag would consider paying €40 million for the La Liga prodigy but will remain wary of the interest from other rivals. Arsenal and Manchester City could have the upper hand for their style of play over Manchester United, but they would likely try.
Finally, there are Tottenham, keen on the La Liga prodigy. Veiga’s profile is something they lack in their squad, as an attacking midfielder remains a desperate priority. The idea of paying a decent fee will have crossed those in charge of Spurs. But deciding on the player will also depend on the new manager.
Tottenham could also lose out on a Champions League place, which may play its part in pursuing talents like Veiga. Other clubs from Italy are keen, and also in the Champions League. Hence, the move for Veiga could prove tricky for Spurs from many angles.
