According to 'Marca', Newcastle are close to signing Celta Vigo midfielder Gabri Veiga to join them next season. The Spaniard was likely to stay in La Liga but the Magpies have dramatically changed his future.

Newcastle are looking to bolster their squad for next season as they have qualified for the Champions League. The Magpies are keeping an eye on several star players after signing Bruno Guimaraes and Alexander Isak last year.

Gabri Veiga, who is outstanding for Celta Vigo this season, has reportedly agreed a deal with the English club to play in the Premier League next campaign.

The midfielder was expected to continue playing in La Liga but Saudi-backed Newcastle are willing to pay his buyout clause of 40 million euros to secure his services.

Elsewhere, Celta wanted to renew his contract and increase the price of his buyout clause but the board will have to face the fact that the Spaniard will not play for them for the next few years.
