Liverpool supporters are anticipating more transfer action this summer, but they may be startled to learn that Rafa Benitez appears to be involved in at least one deal for the Reds.
‘Celta is about to sign the coach who will manage the team in its centenary year,’ according to Revelo (translated).The Vigo group has intensified discussions with Rafa Benitez in the past few hours so that he may become their new coach immediately, and both sides are eager to reach an agreement in the next few hours or days’.
Given that the former Liverpool manager is likely to take over at Celta Vigo, this implies that he will soon be in control of the team that now employs Gabri Veiga, therefore we may soon see the two negotiating with the Reds.
The youngster who shone for his boyhood club was ‘under consideration’ for a move to Merseyside, and with Spanish outlet SPORT reporting (translated) that the player is ‘always where he should be and that quality is pure gold’ – there’s reason to be excited about his potential arrival.
Last season, the 21-year-old scored 11 goals and provided four assists in 40 appearances in all competitions for Celta Vigo, helping them finish 13th in La Liga and avoid relegation.
His offensive ability might offer a new dimension to our midfield choices, and with Fabrizio Romano also confirming our interest in the player, this should be a transfer we can get excited about.
We’ll have to wait and see if the former Everton manager can persuade the Spanish Under-21 international to play under Jurgen Klopp, but many will hope that the coach has only positive things to say about his time at the head of our club.
