Eddie Howe’s Newcastle United and Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United have now been linked with Celta de Vigo central midfielder Gabri Veiga.

According to The Transfer Room, Liverpool are leading the race for Gabri Veiga, but Premier League rivals Newcastle United and Manchester United are “following his future closely”.

The report has claimed that the 21-year-old Spanish midfielder has a release clause of €40 million (£34.41 million) in his contract at Celta.

Could Newcastle United or Manchester United sign Gabri Veiga?

In our opinion, Newcastle United or Manchester United could be able to Gabri Veiga from Celta de Vigo in the summer transfer window.

After all, all the Magpies and the Red Devils need to do is trigger his release clause and then convince him.

We do not think that the 21-year-old would turn down the chance to join Newcastle or Manchester United in the summer transfer window.

After all, both Newcastle and Manchester United are massive clubs who will play in the UEFA Champions League next season.

Newcastle are going places under owners PIF and head coach Eddie Howe, while Manchester United are one of the biggest clubs in the world and are a global brand.

Veiga made 28 starts and eight substitute appearances in La Liga for Celta last season.

The midfielder scored 11 goals and gave four assists in those games.
