Benitez frustrates Klopp with a signing, surprises everyone

Jürgen Klopp is arguably the best manager Liverpool has ever had in its history, because with his playing philosophy he has revolutionized our club and has returned it to the elite of world football, which has earned him the affection of all the fans. Right behind Klopp comes Rafa Benitez, as the Spanish tactician was one of the protagonists of the most memorable night in Liverpool's history: the Miracle of Istanbul.

Two legendary coaches for the Reds, two winning projects that brought great joy to the Anfield faithful and two strategists who get along very well. However, fate has brought them face to face again, but this time Benitez's interests go against those of the Reds' board.

The Spanish coach has officially become the new manager of Celta Vigo and after his arrival at the club has been willing to observe the squad, which includes Gabri Veiga, one of the main targets of Jürgen Klopp in the transfer market and who would have been interested in coming to Anfield. However, the arrival of Benitez could end up frustrating the transfer.

Gabri Veiga is one of the great jewels of Spanish football, because at 21 years of age he has demonstrated his great talent, as he has made big teams like FC Barcelona suffer, scoring two goals in their last La Liga match. Currently, Veiga has a contract with Celta Vigo until 2026 and Transfermarkt has him valued at 30 million euros.

Liverpool no longer wants Veiga

Given the difficulty of signing Gabri Veiga, Jürgen Klopp already has other targets in mind, and journalist Fabrizio Romano has reported that Liverpool's board has not made any formal offer for the Spanish midfielder, who would have a termination clause of 40 million euros.
