Real Madrid has finally decided not to sign Gabri Veiga. The young midfielder from Celta Vigo is now out of the question, despite the rumors and the insistence of the coach, Carlo Ancelotti. The decision came as a surprise, as Veiga was one of the most mentioned, but Pérez and the board opted not to sign him.
Overbooking of Players in the Midfield
One of the key reasons for this shift in Real Madrid's transfer strategy is the current solidity of the midfield. With Bellingham as a key player and the growth of Brahim Díaz and Arda Güler, the club doesn't see the need to reinforce that position at the moment.
Real Madrid's midfield has great potential for the future. The arrival of Gabri Veiga would've meant a multi-million-euro investment that, at the moment, isn't considered essential.
Market Priorities
Florentino Pérez and his coaching staff have put the focus on other needs of the team. The priority in the transfer market is now on other positions, mainly in back and front lines. Given this situation, the transfer of Gabri Veiga has been relegated.
The club has decided to invest in more urgent areas, leaving out the Spanish midfielder, despite his talent and the pressure from Ancelotti.
Real Madrid's decision leaves Gabri Veiga at a crossroads. Despite expectations, the midfielder will have to look for a new destination to continue his career. Despite the interest of European clubs, Veiga could return to Celta to continue his development.
Barça's Competition
With Real Madrid out of the race, it seems that FC Barcelona has taken the lead in the fight for Gabri Veiga. Barça, always alert to young talents, could take advantage of the opportunity to sign Veiga, considered a great promise. If so, the midfielder's future could take an unexpected tur with the classic rival of the team that had originally contacted him.

Florentino Pérez's decision to drop Gabri Veiga may seem surprising to some, but it reflects a clear strategy: prioritizing other areas of the field. The young Spanish midfielder, meanwhile, has the opportunity to continue his career at other clubs, with Barça being one of the most viable options.
With this move, Real Madrid closes a chapter in the transfer market and reinforces the idea that its current project doesn't need more reinforcements in the midfield.
