Manchester City are ready to go all out on Gabri Veiga and beat competition from rivals such as Real Madrid.
According to Fichajes, Gabri Veiga is a key target for Manchester City ahead of the summer window. The €40 million-rated Real Madrid target is a key admirer of multiple top clubs in the window, but Pep Guardiola could make a push to bring him to the Etihad.
A sensational season could get much better for Manchester City, who could still win the Champions League and FA Cup to complete an unprecedented treble. It’s very difficult to match this level of success, but Pep Guardiola will remain keen to keep up the quality in his squad.
The Catalan manager might oversee a few changes to his personnel, with the likes of Ilkay Gundogan and Bernardo Silva could depart. Both have been key players and add plenty to this side’s creative and goalscoring departments.
If they do end up losing the duo, Guardiola will want to bring quality replacements. One of the names mentioned is Gabri Veiga, the star performer for Celta Vigo in an otherwise difficult season. The La Liga side are facing the prospect of relegation, which may see them lose the €40 million-rated Real Madrid target.
Real Madrid are in the hunt for the attacking midfielder. The Spanish giants have been angling for a move but are reportedly reluctant to pay his €40 million release clause. Celta will not accept bids for anything less, considering Veiga has been their star performer, and their president feels the price is right.
There’s also interest from Newcastle United, among other clubs, but now Manchester City are firming up their pursuit. Guardiola has seen enough of the €40 million-rated Real Madrid target to consider making a move. The Premier League champions are reportedly willing to pay what’s required, which may help them oust their rivals.
Veiga has nine goals and four assists in 35 league games, making him a coveted target for many top clubs. Liverpool, Arsenal, and Newcastle are among the sides keen from England, while Barcelona were also thought to keep tabs on the €40 million-rated Real Madrid target.
