Euro Paper Talk: Liverpool make ‘juicy’ €25m offer to land Spanish midfield sensation; Tottenham to make fresh €45m defender bid despite Van de Ven agreement

Liverpool have stepped up their interest in signing a Celta Vigo midfielder, with a fresh offer made for the player, while Thursday’s Euro Paper Talk claims Tottenham will not rest on just signing Micky van de Ven and will make a further offer for another Bundesliga star before the transfer window shuts.

KLOPP MAKES HIS MOVE FOR CELTA SENSATION

Liverpool have reportedly made an offer of €25m (£21.5m) to lure a highly-rated LaLiga attacking midfielder to Anfield this summer.

Reds boss Jurgen Klopp is well known to be on the hunt for one more midfield arrival, having lost both Jordan Henderson and Fabinho to Saudi Arabia in a matter of days.

Southampton’s Romeo Lavia remains a top target, while there are suggestions in some quarters that Liverpool have also renewed their interest in Brighton’s Moises Caicedo.

But now a fresh report from Spain states that the Anfield outfit are in the market for a different type of midfielder and have made a bid for 21-year-old Celta Vigo star Gabri Veiga.

It was reported last week that Reds officials had met with club legend Rafa Benitez, who is now in charge of Celta, to discuss the highly-rated talent. And now a report from Deportes COPE Galicia (via Estadio Deportivo) claims there has now been an offer.

Liverpool make cheeky offer for Celta star

The report says Liverpool have made a ‘juicy’ €25m bid for Veiga, who currently has a €40m (£34m) release clause.

Veiga is considered much more of attacking midfielder than the players currently at Klopp’s disposal, which is not really what they have been chasing recently in terms of Lavia and Caicedo.

The Spain Under-21 star scored an impressive 11 goals in 36 appearances in LaLiga last season and is also on the radar of Chelsea, Manchester City and Real Madrid.

However, Estadio Deportivo adds that the Premier League is Veiga’s most likely next destination – giving Liverpool a strong chance of completing a deal.

It just remains to be seen whether Klopp will pursue a move for a more attacking midfielder, having lost two defensive ones in Henderson and Fabinho.
