Manchester City fans have been reacting to a post on Twitter which relays a report that claims Gabri Veiga could soon hire Pep Guardiola’s brother to become his agent, a decision which could hand the reigning Premier League champions a boost in the race to sign the Spanish wonderkid.

The 20-year-old is enjoying his first full season in the Spanish outfit’s senior squad. He has made 25 appearances in the league for Carlos Carvalhal’s team, scoring nine goals and providing three assists.

This form has seen him linked with clubs such as Manchester United, Arsenal, Aston Villa and Real Madrid as well as the Citizens. However, Pep Guardiola’s side could have an ace up their sleeves in their attempts to sign the youngster.

As part of that battle, it has now been revealed last week that Pep Guardiola’s brother Pere held a meeting with Gabri Veiga’s sister on Wednesday, as she currently manages his affairs following the split with his former agency, Intermedia Sport Player.

As per the report, Pere Guardiola not only presented a proposal to represent the youngster, but also conveyed Manchester City’s interest during the meeting, according to Edu Pidal.

According to the latest from Daily Mail, Pere Guardiola is the leading candidate to take on Veiga as a client at SEG, an agency that represents 600 clients in 25 countries, with the Celta Vigo star quite the talent to sign down for the years to come.

The report also claims that Pere made his pitch to Veiga’s sister last week after other agencies ‘First You’ and Pini Zahavi tried to lure the youngster.

According to reports, Veiga has a £35million release clause in his contract which could tempt potential suitors.

And if the player is represented by the brother of the Man City manager then it could help negotiations to get him to the Etihad Stadium.

The report was shared on Twitter by City Xtra and it attracted plenty of attention from the club’s supporters.

@SashankPxcked: “Once he becomes his agent , its pretty much confirmed Veiga is coming..”

@HAALANDSR: “Yup. He’s coming”

@Anderson_5454: “I’ve seen enough bring him to the Etihad, he is a hybrid of Bernardo and KDB”

@kunchubbs0107: “Reminds me of David Silva.”

@nwanneka_omeche: “This guy will be the first we will sign this summer.”

@MancityGP: “Now, only Gabri Veiga wearing a city shirt is pending, that’s it”

@D2588Ryan: “Nailed on first summer recruit. What that means for the other midfield targets, I have no idea. I imagine it hinges on what both Gundo and Silva are doing..”
