Rafa Benitez is set to play a big role in the future of Liverpool transfer target Gabri Veiga.
The Merseysiders had identified the young Spaniard as a potential recruit as they attempt to stage a rebuild at Anfield this summer. A midfield rejuvenationhas already begun with the arrival of Argentine playmaker Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton earlier this month.
Veiga has caught the eye in LaLiga this term for Celta Vigo and was potentially seen as an ideal addition. He has a €40million (£34.2m) release clause written into his contract and is set to leave his current employers this summer.
