Mason Mount to Man United for €60 million, who gains more?

In a move that signals a significant shake-up in their squad, Chelsea Football Club has reportedly identified Gabri Veiga from Celta Vigo as a potential replacement for midfielder Mason Mount, who is believed to be on the verge of joining Manchester United.

The Blues, determined to revamp their team, have already begun offloading several key players, including N’Golo Kante, Kai Havertz, Edouard Mendy, Hakim Ziyech, Jorginho, and Ruben Loftus-Cheek.

As Chelsea looks to reinforce their attacking options, the Evening Standard reports that Gabri Veiga has emerged as the club’s primary target for the attacking midfield position. The 21-year-old Spaniard, who currently plies his trade at Celta Vigo, has garnered attention from other Premier League giants, including Manchester City and Liverpool.

Gabri Veiga’s impressive performances have caught the eye of Chelsea’s recruitment team. Notably, the talented youngster amassed 11 goals and provided four assists in 40 appearances for Celta Vigo last season.

His standout moment came in a crucial match against LaLiga champions Barcelona on the final day of the campaign when he scored a brace, securing a remarkable 2-1 victory for his team and ensuring their survival in Spain’s top-flight league.

With a release clause of £34.6 million embedded in Veiga’s contract with Celta Vigo, Chelsea believes they can secure the services of the highly rated attacking midfielder. The club’s interest in Veiga further highlights their commitment to rejuvenating the squad with promising talents.

While Manchester City and Liverpool have also been linked with a move for Gabri Veiga, Chelsea aims to secure his signature to bolster their attacking options and compensate for the potential departure of Mason Mount.

Mason Mount, a product of Chelsea’s esteemed academy, is expected to complete his move to Manchester United in the upcoming summer transfer window.
