As per Fabrizio Romano Man City have switched their attention towards Gabri Veiga. Guardiola wants someone to replace the departed Ilkay Gundogan and could target the €40 million-rated Spanish star for this position.
It’s been an eventual few days in the transfer window with Manchester City involved in the thick of things as They were embroiled in a transfer battle with Arsenal for Declan Rice,
Pep Guardiola considered the West Ham midfielder a replacement for Ilkay Gundogan.
Man City is showing interest in Rice as soon as Gundogan’s free transfer to Barcelona got confirmed.
They took nearly a week to make a formal offer worth £80 million and £10 million add ons only for West Ham to reject it
Arsenal’s recent £105 million offer blew Man City out of the race, with the Gunners agreeing to a deal .
Guardiola has now turned his attention from Declan Rice to the 21 year old Gabri Viega a Spanish midfielder who plays for Celta Vigo in the search of replacing Gundogan in the squad.
He has scored 11 goals and 4 assist with 36 apperance in laliga last season . The No 10 attacking midfielder is on demand since the release clause in his contract is out.
Barcelona , Liverpool , Chelsea and now Man City has joined the race to sign the 21 year old midfielder . Celta Vigo has made up their mind of not letting the midfielder go under € 40 million .
Now, Man City must agree a deal with Celta Vigo by paying the release clause. Guardiola will oversee a busy period in the window as they also chase Josko Gvardiol to shore up their defence.
He plays in totally different positions, while Veiga is more of an attacking talent. Yet, the idea here will focus on replacing Gundogan more than anything.
