Manchester City are ready to pip Real Madrid in the chase for Gabri Veiga, with Pep Guardiola’s side readying a mega offer for the midfielder.
According to Marca via Sport Witness, Manchester City could make a huge offer to sign Celta Vigo star Gabri Veiga.
They face intense competition domestically and from Spain, with Real Madrid keen on the €40 million-rated midfielder.
Manchester United and Newcastle United were the others, with all those Premier League sides open to paying his €40 million release clause.
However, so far, those were the only Premier League sides keen, but now, Manchester City have entered the chase.
The Premier League champions are willing to commit a large sum financially, hoping to thwart the interest of Real Madrid in the player.
Real Madrid had reportedly asked Pini Zahavi to broker a deal for Veiga.
Reports from Spain suggest they are unwilling to pay Celta’s request for the €40 million release clause and could look to negotiate the price down.
They would like to sound out the idea to Veiga to play at the Bernabeu, but Man City’s financial power could outmuscle their chase.
Man City are willing to pay the €40 million release clause, plus reportedly ready to offer Veiga a huge contract.
Hence, Man City could find themselves at the front of the queue chasing the Celta star.
Whether Man City convince the player remains the question, but their entry in the race certainly changes the market dynamics.
Real Madrid will continue pushing, but the midfielder may end up in the Premier League.
