Veiga, a promising 21-year-old midfielder, could be another prospective signing for Liverpool, as strengthening this area of the team has been a key priority in their transfer strategy for the summer. The young talent has showcased his abilities during a breakthrough season at Celta Vigo in La Liga, contributing 11 goals that helped his beloved club avoid relegation.
In a memorable 2-1 victory against reigning champions Barcelona on the final day of the season, Veiga's brace secured Celta's escape from the threat of relegation, possibly marking his farewell appearance at the Estadio de Balaidos.
While Veiga's contract with Celta includes a release clause of €40m (£34.4m), Liverpool reportedly aims to negotiate a more economical deal for the talented Spaniard. However, Mundo Deportivo suggests that Celta Vigo intends to stand firm and demand the complete activation of the release clause. Club president Carlos Mourino recently stated to Cadena SER that they are determined to uphold this stance, saying;
Following the departures of Naby Keita and James Milner upon the expiration of their contracts, the injury-prone Thiago Alcantara, and the advancing ages of Fabinho and Jordan Henderson, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp appears determined to continue reconstructing the team's midfield.
Recent reports have linked Khephren Thuram and Manu Kone with potential moves to Merseyside as Liverpool aims to enhance their performance after a disappointing campaign that resulted in missing out on Champions League qualification.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Liverpool is reportedly intensifying their efforts to secure a deal for Juventus winger Chiesa, indicating a serious interest from the club.
Chiesa, who suffered a torn ACL and struggled to regain a regular starting position in a Juventus side that finished outside the top four in Serie A due to a 10-point deduction for financial irregularities, could become available due to the club's financial struggles. Juventus is expected to lose several key players this summer, with Chiesa and Dusan Vlahovic being highly sought-after talents commanding significant transfer fees.
Juve's difficulties, exemplified by their decision to decline the permanent signing of Leandro Paredes from Paris Saint-Germain and the potential departure of Adrien Rabiot on a free transfer, may make it challenging for them to retain Chiesa in the current situation.
The report suggests that Liverpool is preparing a bid of approximately €45m (£38.5m) for Chiesa, who gained global recognition for his exceptional performances during Euro 2020. The 25-year-old winger played a vital role in Italy's triumph in the tournament, scoring crucial goals against Austria in the last 16 and Spain in the semi-finals.
Chiesa has primarily operated on the left wing recently, and his potential arrival at Anfield would provide competition for Darwin Nunez, Luis Diaz, and Diogo Jota.
