’40 million’ clause revealed for Liverpool transfer target; club ‘would sell’ midfielder this summer – report

Posted by

Alexis Mac Allister is likely not to be the last piece of transfer business completed this summer and so Liverpool supporters are eagerly awaiting what move we may complete next, with an asking price apparently set for another midfield target.

As reported by Spanish outlet AS (translated): ‘Gabri Veiga – One of the names of this summer. Its president already assured that Celta would sell it this summer for the 40 million of its clause, a sum that several Premier League clubs such as Liverpool, Chelsea and Newcastle are willing to pay’ [via Paisley Gates].

Although the presence of transfer rivals like Chelsea and Newcastle would ordinarily mean we could be priced out of a deal, when a clause is in place there’s little reason for a bidding war on a transfer fee.

We can still be caught short when it comes to the players proposed wages and so this could be a place we may be priced out on but with The Athletic reporting that we have the second highest wage bill in the league, we’re clearly not shy on paying our players fairly.

The 21-year-old target managed 15 goal contributions across 40 games for Celta Vigo in all competitions last season, where he was deployed as a central, attacking and defensive midfielder.

It was reported that the Spaniard is ‘under consideration’ for a move to Anfield by James Pearce and with journalists in Spain (via SPORT) describing his performances as ‘pure gold’ in the last campaign – we could be prepared to pay the release clause.

It won’t be easy but Gabri Veiga could be a move that is worth getting increasingly interested about for supporters.

  1. Shopping in Aldi. Hit and hope under 21s probably no better than Jones .
    Should be buying serious players McAllister aside.
    Need the likes of Barella along him not unproven kids.
    FSG are out of their league. This approach won’t get us back to 19/20 levels.
    Back then it was VVD ,Alisson and Fabhino that were the standard that hot things going.
    Arsenal are doing that this year with the likes of Rice and Timber etc

  2. JC talking rubbish. When Liverpool signed Robertson, Wijnaldum, Fabinho, Firmino and Henderson we heard the same criticism. Even when we signed Salah people were laughing at why we were signing a Chelsea flop.

    I think the club know what they are doing. MacAllister is a great start. Thuram and Gravenberch would be great even if they are unproven kids. As for the comments about Jones, JC you ought to be ashamed of yourself. Be a fan, not a follower. YNWA
