According to Manu Sainz, who works for Spanish media outlet, AS, the 20-year-old attack minded midfielder is much closer to moving to Liverpool than Real Madrid.

As per the renowned journalist, the youngster has a release clause of £35million and the Merseysiders are even prepared to activate it to get the signing done.

Sainz stated:

“I see him closer to Liverpool, for example, a club that has been following him for a long time.

Newcastle is a club that were the first to travel to Vigo to monitor him and you know they are willing to pay the €40m (£35million) of his release clause. Liverpool are as well. Now the ball is in Veiga’s court. He is going to decide which option he wants”

The Spanish under-21 boy has excelled for Celta Vigo in the current campaign. He is a flexible talent, who can play in central/attacking midfield.

This season, so far, the versatile starlet has started 23 games in the league for the Spanish side and directly contributed in 13 goals (9 goals and 4 assists).

Liverpool need at least two-three midfielders and have to use the transfer kitty smartly to adequately reinforce the department.
