Newcastle United have been strongly linked with Celta Vigo star Gabriel Veiga

The Celta Vigo player Gabriel Veiga has drawn interest from Newcastle United, but claims that a transaction is "very close" are unfounded. On Wednesday night, sources in Spain said the Magpies were about to sign the 21-year-old, knocking out Real Madrid and Liverpool, which caused enthusiasm on social media.Despite allegedly having a £34 million release clause in his contract, Veiga's future is still not certain, as far as NewcastleWorld is aware.

Veiga, who just signed with super-agent Pini Zahavi's roster, is anticipated to depart Celta Vigo this summer. Robert Lewandowski, a star for Barcelona, is also represented by the Israeli. Veiga had only a few appearances for Celta in the previous two seasons, but this year he has become a midfield regular, scoring nine goals in 35 La Liga games.
