Maxi Gomez is likely to be one of the La Liga players most involved in transfer rumours this summer. He was heavily linked with a move during the January window, but wasn’t keen on moving midway through the season so continued with Celta Vigo.
Since then, several Premier League clubs have been linked with a move for the Uruguayan, but it’s Barcelona who have made the first move, according to claims on Tuesday.
Mundo Deportivo take claims from Galician radio that Barcelona made a €25m offer in recent days, which has already been rejected by Celta.
Another factor is that 20% of any transfer fee is payable to Gomez’s former club, Defensor Sporting.
This would all fit in with claims from the Catalan media this week that Barcelona are looking for a No.9 to provide competition to Luis Suarez.
