With Mason Mount's impending transfer to Manchester United nearing its conclusion, Chelsea are actively preparing to find a suitable replacement for the midfielder.
During the ongoing summer transfer window, the Blues have already managed to offload several players, both from the first team and the fringes, as they navigate Financial Fair Play restrictions under the ownership of Todd Boehly.
Therefore, it is reported that the England international had actually desired to stay at Stamford Bridge but was dissatisfied with certain issues, including his salary.
However, with the club unwilling to meet his demands, the 24-year-old felt compelled to seek a new chapter in his career away from the club he holds dear.
As Mount's departure looms, the London outfit are wasting no time in securing a replacement. The Evening Standard reveals that Celta Vigo's young star, Gabri Veiga, has emerged as a primary target.
The 21-year-old, with a release clause of €34.6 million, has already etched his name in Vigo's history books by scoring two vital goals against Barcelona on the final day of the 2022/23 La Liga season, which secured the club's survival in the top flight.
