Atletico Madrid has once again prioritized the signing of young Spanish player Gabriel Veiga in preparation for the summer market, following their unsuccessful attempt to acquire him during the last winter transfer window, according to the "Fichajes" website.

The Spanish club failed to complete the deal in January due to a firm rejection from the Portuguese club Porto, which considered the timing unsuitable to part with the midfielder, one of the key elements in its sporting plans.

The Spanish club confirmed that the January attempt was not considered a failure, but rather a first step to determine intentions, show interest in the player, and ensure his suitability for the club's sports project.

Atletico Madrid has placed Gabriel Veiga at the top of its priorities for the summer market, as he is considered one of the most promising European talents. His ability to break from the second line, his game reading, and his competitive personality highlight his compatibility with the club's plan to strengthen the midfield.

The Spanish club is relying on the summer to give them more time to negotiate, with the ability to adjust the budget and present an attractive financial offer to Porto and the player himself, aiming to complete the deal more effectively than a January attempt.

Atletico Madrid believes that the summer conditions will provide a better opportunity to complete the deal, and Porto is aware of the genuine interest from the Spanish club, which will work calmly and clearly to present a convincing sports and financial offer.

It is noted that Gabriel Veiga is aware of the interest he is receiving, and that a move to Atletico would be an important step to enhance his sports career, while Porto remains the final decision-maker in the transfer process.

For now, the player will remain at Porto, but Gabriel Veiga's name has become a priority on the Spanish club's agenda, with confidence that the summer will be the right time to complete one of the team's most significant deals.
