According to respected transfer analyst Fabrizio Romano through the Liverpool Echo, Liverpool have initiated talks with Celta Vigo ahead of a summer transfer window bid for Spain midfielder Gabri Veiga.
The Reds have already recruited Argentina midfielder Alexis Mac Allister on a five-year contract from Brighton in a deal for £55 million, and they are aiming to add up to two more midfielders to their team.
As Jurgen Klopp tries to overhaul his midfield options ahead of next season, he may have to replace James Milner, Naby Keita, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who all left Anfield when their contracts ended.
Fabrizio Romano claims that Veiga, a 21-year-old La Liga standout, is one of the players the Merseysiders are keeping an eye on this summer. He has a £34 million release clause, which is thought to suit the Reds’ need for more midfield reinforcements.
Liverpool may face heavy competition from Chelsea for Veiga’s signature after the Blues lost Sporting midfielder Manuel Ugarte to Paris Saint-Germain, but Klopp is keen on acquiring his man before the squad returns for preseason on July 8.
Following a dismal season last year, new Liverpool sporting director Jorg Schmadtke faces an uphill battle in bringing in elite players this summer.
Reinforcement
Mason Mount, James Ward-Prowse, Khephren Thuram, Manu Kone, and Ryan Gravenberch have all been linked with a transfer to Liverpool.
The Reds have verbally accepted personal terms with OGC Nice midfielder Thuram ahead of a potential move to England, and they are still working on additional signings as they try to construct a side capable of competing for titles and qualifying for the Champions League after missing out last season.
Liverpool have initiated discussions to sign Veiga, according to Fabrizio Romano of the That’s Football YouTube program, according to the Liverpool Echo. The Italian journalist, on the other hand, claims that numerous Premier League teams are interested in signing him.
