Man City ready to trump Liverpool with £35m bid to sign La Liga star and more transfer rumours

Manchester City could now enter the race to sign Celta de Vigo midfielder Gabri Veiga after missing out on Jude Bellingham.

As we all know, Bellingham is now widely expected to join Real Madrid. The midfielder had been on Man City’s radar but appears to be closing in on a move to Spain.

For City, that means looking at other targets. And The Athletic reports that Celta Vigo star Veiga is one of the players on Pep Guardiola’s list.

The midfielder, believed to have a £35m release-clause in his contract, could be on the move this summer.

Arsenal, Manchester United and Liverpool all are keen on Veiga. Jurgen Klopp’s side are reportedly leading the race for the Spanish midfielder and are ready to pay his release clause.

It’s claimed City like the look of Veiga as they prepare to potentially lose Bernardo Silva and Ilkay Gundogan. The pair are once again attracting interest, despite playing key roles this season.

Elsewhere, Manchester City haven’t given up on retaining Ilkay Gundogan, according to Mundo Deportivo as relayed by Sport Witness.

Barcelona are keen to sign Manchester City star İlkay Gündoğan when his deal at the Etihad expires on June 30th.

It’s claimed the Citizens ‘will fight’ to keep him at the club and this is only possible if he signs a new deal.

Amid the Citizens’ desire to stop the Catalan club from snatching their player, Mundo say his ‘path is set for Barca’. It remains to be seen if Guardiola’s side can change his mind.
