After a couple of weeks of negotiation, Napoli made Celta Vigo cave for Gabri Veiga. The talent is on the precipice of transferring to Serie A. The two sides have struck a verbal agreement on the terms of the deal, Fabrizio Romano relays.
The Partenopei will pay €30M plus €6M add-ons. The parties are ironing out the final details and preparing the documents. The midfielder will travel to Italy for the medicals and the signature soon.
Napoli will onboard Veiga even if Piotr Zielinski will stay after rejecting another offer from Al-Ahli. The Azzurri will snap him up without triggering his €40M release clause. He’ll ink a five-year contract with €2M wages.
The 21-year-old earned a regular role in the past campaign after debuting in La Liga in August 2020. He recorded 11 goals and 4 assists in 40 appearances. He has nine caps with U-21 Spain, while he has yet to be called up by the senior team. The prodigy spent the entirety of his career at Celta Vigo.
Our Take on Napoli Signing Veiga
Things were headed in this direction, as they usually don’t let talents they truly love get away even if they have hefty price tags. It’s interesting they splurged in the midfield and not in the back. The favorable situation will allow him to settle in and grow without haste.
