In recent weeks, there has been fierce competition for the position of Jude Bellingham. The Borussia Dortmund star is being sought after by Manchester City, Liverpool, Manchester United, and Real Madrid, who are all hoping to acquire him come June
It makes sense that the clubs have alternate names on their tables given the fierce rivalry. Gabri Veiga of Celta Vigo is one such player who is on the radar of the aforementioned teams. The Premier League has made proposals to the La Liga midfielder for the upcoming season. However, according to SER, the player has expressed interest in joining Real Madrid and has requested the club if they will match the offer from England.
Veiga has a €40 million release option with Celta Vigo. The young prodigy will wear white next season if the Merengues are able to equal such a valuation, either directly or through player exchanges. Veiga’s profile has been watched by Real Madrid for some time, and they have let his surroundings know that they are interested in signing him. The Spanish publication also explains that Jude Bellingham’s contract would still be possible even if Veiga were to arrive in June.
Celta Vigo is interested in Real Madrid Castilla’s Rafa Marin, who is naturally one of the players Los Blancos are considering using in a Veiga trade. However, it is safe to state that the initial stages of player exchange discussions have begun.
This season, the 20-year-old Spanish phenom has dominated La Liga. He has made 25 appearances for Celta Vigo this season, making nine starts and contributing three assists. In his league season, he has generated five significant opportunities and close to one important pass per game.
The issue will come down to the Merengues’ financial flexibility and their ability to spend an additional €40 million on top of the Englishman’s fee, with Los Blancos reluctant to give up on Bellingham despite Veiga’s signing.
