MANCHESTER CITY have joined United and Newcastle in trailing Celta Vigo midfielder Gabri Veiga.
That’s the claim from Spain as the LaLiga side fight an uphill battle to keep the 20-year-old beyond this summer.

Real Madrid are also thought to be keen, with Veiga understood to have a £35million release clause.
Etihad chief Pep Guardiola has one eye on strengthening in mid-pitch.
That’s partly because City duo Ilkay Gundogan and Bernardo Silva face uncertain futures in the summer
And Celta president Carlos Mourino accepts holding onto Veiga is virtually impossible – not least financially.
He also revealed that at least four Premier League clubs are seriously interested.
Mourino said: “We want to keep Gabri Veiga but it will be impossible due to his release clause.
“We don’t want to sell, but they are going to buy him from us. And we can’t do anything there.
“We know some of his offers and it is impossible to reach them.
“There are several teams behind Gabri. Real Madrid? They haven’t asked us, we don’t know if they will have called the player.
“Of the top 10 in the Premier League, four have asked about him.”
