Celta Vigo and Napoli are in the final stages of the negotiation for Gabri Veiga. The Partenopei are very determined and willing to splurge to onboard the Spanish talent. They won’t activate his €40M release clause. However, the final disbursement could eclipse such a threshold, Relevo informs.
The parties aim to seal the deal early this week. If there are no hiccups, the prodigy will transfer before Saturday’s match versus Real Sociedad. He logged limited minutes against Osasuna Saturday to avoid injuries.
Napoli initially offered €30M to purchase Veiga, but they’ll have to shell out a higher sum to convince Celta Vigo. The two clubs could come to an understanding on €36/37M fee plus €5M bonuses. The sellers are trying to include a 10 percent resale clause.
Despite some chatter about Diego Demme, it doesn’t seem like he will be part of the deal. The Partenopei have come to terms with the midfielder, who will ink a five-year contract.
Our Take on Napoli and Veiga
The Scudetto champions probably hoped to pay a little less. Even though they thrive while unearthing talents, they aren’t shy when it comes to splashing on starlets they fancy, as they did for Giacomo Raspadori. Triggering the clause was a nonstarter as the payment had to happen in one fell swoop. A more favorable structure comes at a cost, though.
