Former Liverpool and Everton boss Rafa Benitez has claimed that Gabri Veiga could remain at Celta Vigo despite interest in the 21-year-old from across Europe.
The ECHO understands Liverpool are looking at Veiga this summer as they continue to rebuild their midfield department following the arrivals of Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton & Hove Albion and Dominik Szoboszlai from RB Leipzig.
Dubbed 'the young pearl' of Celta, Veiga finished his campaign with an impressive output of 11 goals and four assists in total that included a brace against Barcelona earlier this month to seal a 2-1 win and avoid La Liga relegation.
