Chelsea preparing €40m offer for Real Madrid and Barcelona linked midfielder
Chelsea are keen on signing the Spanish midfielder Gabri Veiga at the end of the season.
The 21-year-old joined the Saudi Arabian club Al-Ahli at the start of the season, but he is thought to be keen on a return to European football. A report from Fichajes claims that life in Saudi Arabia has not been as expected for the Spanish midfielder and he is willing to return to Europe at the end of the season.

They will need to add more creativity and control in the middle of the park, and Veiga could form a quality partnership with Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo. He will add creativity and goals to their midfield.
The 21-year-old has four goals and four assists in all competitions this season. He is highly rated across Europe and he could develop into a quality Premier League midfielder with the right guidance.
Mauricio Pochettino has a proven track record when it comes to nurturing young players, and he could play a key role in the development of the Spanish playmaker. The opportunity to return to Europe and join a big club like Chelsea will be quite tempting for the midfielder.
