Manchester City are planning a fierce competition with Real Madrid to bring Spanish midfielder Gabriel Veiga back to Europe next summer. According to Estadio Deportivo, Veiga is currently playing in the Saudi Pro League after leaving Celta Vigo last summer.
Gabriel Veigaโs potential was confirmed when he was one of the most outstanding young players in La Liga last season. In Saudi Arabia, he continued to show impressive form, making many top European teams, including Man City and Real Madrid, unable to ignore him.
Man City hope Veiga will bring an ideal addition to the teamโs midfield in the context of Ilkay Gรผndoganโs departure and Kevin De Bruyneโs struggles with injuries. However, Real Madrid have also made no secret of their intention to bring Veiga to the Bernabรฉu to continue their youth project.
