Manchester City have reportedly entered the race to sign Celta Vigo midfielder Gabri Veiga along with Chelsea and Liverpool.
Pep Guardiola's side have already snapped up Mateo Kovacic from Chelsea, while pulling out of a move for West Ham United star Declan Rice, who looks set for Arsenal. Despite the addition of Kovacic, though, Guardiola is claimed to be keen on signing the versatile Veiga.
The Spaniard can operate as both a number six and eight, is said to have a €40m (£34.6m) release clause in his contract with the Spanish side. According to The Evening Standard, Guardiola wants the midfielder to join City as he reworks his midfield.
Veiga scored 11 goals and assisted four in his 36 La Liga appearances. Celta Vigo has been the only club of his career to date and his impressive performance have led to links to the Premier League.

Elsewhere, according to Fabrizio Romano, young Arsenal talent Ethan Nwaneri is nearing an agreement for a deal that will keep him with the club, despite interest from the likes of Manchester City and Chelsea.
The midfielder has impressed in the youth ranks and broke a record for the youngest player to play in the top flight at just 15 years old last season in a substitute appearance against Brentford. At just 16 years old, there's plenty more that could come from the academy star, who is looking set to extend his stay with the Gunners.
