Real Madrid recently contacted Gabri Veiga, a target for Chelsea and Liverpool, over a move in the 2024 summer transfer window.
According to a report by Spanish outlet Defensa Central, Gabri Veiga remains a target for Real Madrid. And the Merengues have approached the 21-year-old over a possible move in the 2024 summer transfer window. The Celta Vigo midfielder is also a target for Chelsea and Liverpool.
Gabri Veiga has become a hot property on the back of his breakthrough season in senior football. The 21-year-old was a pivotal figure for Celta Vigo this past season, scoring several crucial goals. And his contribution helped the Galician club avoid relegation from La Liga after they came close to the drop.
The Spanish midfielder made 40 appearances across all competitions for Celta Vigo, chipping in with 11 goals and four assists. Veiga’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several high-profile clubs. And the youngster has emerged on the radars of Chelsea, Liverpool, and Real Madrid.
Recent reports have heavily linked the Spaniard with Chelsea and Liverpool. And the two clubs have already approached Celta Vigo for Veiga’s services. While Chelsea will look to revamp the midfield unit after the departures of N’Golo Kante and Mateo Kovacic, Liverpool will aim to overhaul the department after losing three players as free agents.
With the two English clubs in the market for multiple midfielders, Veiga has emerged as a viable target. But recent reports have claimed that Liverpool might hold the advantage over Chelsea and others in the race to sign the 21-year-old. Meanwhile, Real Madrid will look to beat Chelsea and Liverpool to Veiga’s signature, albeit in 2024.
The Merengues are not interested in signing the Spanish midfielder this summer. But the youngster remains on Real Madrid’s wishlist. And with Luka Modric and Toni Kroos approaching the final phases of their respective careers, Veiga can be a viable candidate to bolster the Real Madrid midfield next summer.
Real Madrid’s decision to sound out Veiga over a 2024 summer move can disrupt the equation. And it will be interesting to see if Chelsea, Liverpool, and the other suitors can convince the 21-year-old to join them this year.
