Manchester City have informed Celto Vigo's Gabri Veiga's representatives about their desire to sign the 21-year-old during the summer transfer window, according to Relevo journalists.
Pep Guardiola's side are keen to bolster their squad following the departure of Ilkay Gündogan to Barcelona and their unsuccessful pursuit of Declan Rice. While they have already secured the signing of Mateo Kovacic from Chelsea, City is still looking to strengthen their midfield options.
Veiga mainly operates as a defensive midfielder or central midfielder. Last season, he showcased his abilities by scoring 11 goals and providing four assists in 36 appearances in La Liga. The Spanish player played a crucial role in Celta's victory against Barcelona on the final day of the season, netting two goals and securing another season in the top division for his club.
Manchester City's interest in the 21-year-old highlights their intention to add promising young talents to their squad and maintain a strong presence in midfield as they continue to compete at the highest level.
Chelsea are also among the clubs monitoring the Spainard's situation at Celta Vigo. With Mason Mount set to leave Stamford Bridge, the London Blues are looking to replace him with a high-quality midfielder. Besides the Celta Vigo star, Chelsea's shortlist includes Moises Ciacedo, Cesare Casadei and Romeo Lavia.
