Newcastle have made an offer for Celta Vigo attacker Gabri Veiga.
Despite the close attention of Real Madrid, Newcastle have made a early offer for the Spain U21 star.
Marca says Newcastle have bid €30m for Veiga.
The attacker recently changed agents to Pini Zahavi, who has close ties to Newcastle's board.
Celta are resigned to selling Veiga this summer and are hopeful of Real making a counter bid.
