Liverpool are ready to step up their interest in Gabri Veiga but could face a roadblock in the form of Celta Vigo's demands.
Academy graduate Veiga is coming off a breakout season in which he scored 11 times in La Liga. The 21-year-old could help Liverpool continue their midfield rebuild after losing the likes of James Milner and Naby Keita.
The Reds have already completed a deal for Alexis Mac Allister, but need more new bodies in the light of several departures. Veiga could well fit the bill, and has a €40m release clause, but Jurgen Klopp's side may want a cheaper deal.
