Rafa Benitez, former technician of the Napoli and today at the helm of the Celta Vigo implicitly admitted the possible passage of Gabri veiga towards the blue club, as reported by the Iberian newspaper Heavenly World. “He's in a situation – he said in the press conference before Celta's league debut tomorrow againstOsasuna - like other players from other teams, for whom the market is open, he has a clause and there is a lot of talk that he can leave and when he can leave."
“He is a player I like, he can score goals and help the team win, but the situation is what it is, the market is like this and the interest in him is real. For us the ideal would be to resolve the situation soon, but basically I am happy to have him”, added Benitez.
Benitez also spoke about the condition of the 21-year-old midfielder who Napoli wants: “Gabri - he said - He arrived a little later in the team this summer, he lacks the match rhythm that his teammates can have, but he remains an important player. I spoke to him about the perception of the situation, to make him focus on the work we are doing.
We don't know if he'll leave sooner or later, suddenly a team could come along and pay the clause and you can't do anything or a team could come along and make a close offer."
