Real Madrid-linked La Liga midfielder could move to the Premier League, player ‘loves’ Arsenal
Gabri Veiga has enjoyed a fine breakthrough campaign at Celta Vigo this season, which put him on the radars of several top clubs, including Real Madrid.
The 20-year-old came with an affordable €40 million release clause, making him an attractive prospect as he fit with the club’s recruitment policy and had already shown great potential in La Liga.
However, with the signing of Jude Bellingham now understood to be close, it seems unlikely that Real Madrid will pursue the transfer of Veiga as well, even though it was previously reported that the two operations would be independent of each other.
With Bellingham likely to arrive, coupled with the loan return of Brahim Diaz and the possible renewals of Toni Kroos, Luka Modric, and Dani Ceballos, there would not be much room for Veiga at the Santiago Bernabeu.
As such, AS is reporting that the Celta Vigo midfielder could be on his way to the Premier League in the summer. It is claimed that the 20-year-old midfielder ‘loves’ Arsenal.
The Gunners have been previously linked with Veiga, while there has also been interest from other clubs such as Manchester City, Liverpool, Manchester United, and Barcelona as well.
However, it is being claimed that the 20-year-old Spaniard likes Arsenal the most and may very well end up at the Emirates Stadium in the summer as a move to Real Madrid now appears unlikely.
As for the Merengues, they are on the verge of closing the signing of Bellingham in a deal that could cost around €100-120 million. The England international is expected to sign a contract until 2029, with wages worth around £12 million per year (€13.6 million).

Real Madrid have drawn a comprehensive roadmap for the upcoming summer transfer window and the club’s squad planning ahead of the new season, but as far as the club’s ambition is concerned, the objective is to sign Kylian Mbappe in 2024.
Real Madrid are expected to revolve everything around the idea of signing the PSG superstar next year, reports Alfredo Matilla and Sergio Santos.
As per the two Spanish journalists, Florentino Perez is envisioning a Real Madrid strikeforce comprising Rodrygo, Vinicius Junior, and Mbappe.
The report points out that Real Madrid view the Frenchman as a realistic target as they expect him not to accept the option of extending his contract at PSG until 2025 next year. His fallout with the PSG has been already well-documented this year.
With Les Parisien seemingly failing to live up to Mbappe’s ambition, it could only be a matter of time before he opts to leave the club. To that end, Real Madrid will be prepared, especially at the end of next season.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid are starting to lose hope of signing Erling Haaland, because of the striker’s excellent relationship with Pep Guardiola which could keep him at Man City beyond 2024. Mbappe, therefore, has emerged as the top target for Los Blancos.
The potential strikeforce comprising Vinicius, Rodrygo and Mbappe could see Real Madrid operating in a 4-3-3 formation, with Mbappe playing at the centre. It must be noted that the club are also involved in the pursuit of Kai Havertz.
The German could be an intriguing addition to this strikeforce – potentially making Real Madrid one of the most feared attacking sides in Europe. However, it remains to be seen whether or not Los Blancos can actually manage to pull the signing of Mbappe or Havertz in the near future.
