Real Madrid might need to revamp their midfield department in the near future. The situations of both Luka Modric and Toni Kroos are unclear at this point of time. Neither has signed a contract extension yet, with their current deals running out at the end of the season. It remains to be seen if the Croatian will be handed a new one after his recent drop in form. On the other hand, there have been suggestions that the German maestro could retire soon.
It remains to be seen whether the two legends remain beyond this season or not. But even if they do, it is clear that they are in the twilights of their storied careers. And sooner or later, Real Madrid will need to find replacements.
The club have been heavily linked with Jude Bellingham but signing him will be very difficult. Thus, they must have alternative targets as well. And it seems that they have their eyes on a rising Spanish midfielder. Real Madrid are not the only ones though.
As reported by Cadena SER, Real Madrid like Gabri Veiga and he is on their radar. Atletico Madrid also want the Spanish midfielder.
Real Madrid and Atletico both interested in midfielder
Veiga has arguably been the breakout star in La Liga this season. He has been the shining light for Celta Vigo, who sit in the middle of the table.
According to stats from Transfermarkt, Veiga has scored 8 goals and provided 3 assists in 28 appearances and 1684 minutes of football across all competitions this season.
Veiga is also just 20 years of age. Thus, he is only expected to get better moving forward and seems to have a bright future ahead of him. If he continues to perform like this, a move to a big club might not be far away for the youngster, with him already catching the attention of them.
