Celta Vigo 'confident of keeping Maxi Gomez'

Celta Vigo are reportedly confident of keeping Maxi Gomez this summer despite interest from Sevilla.

Gomez scored 17 La Liga goals during an impressive 2017-18 campaign at Celta, and is currently representing Uruguay at the 2018 World Cup.

Sevilla have been credited with an interest in the 21-year-old, but according to Estadio Deportivo, Celta are not prepared to sell the centre-forward for anything under his £44m release clause.

The report claims that Sevilla will therefore switch their attention elsewhere when it comes to bringing a new striker to the Estadio Ramon ahead of the 2018-19 campaign.

Gomez was an unused substitute as Uruguay booked their spot in the quarter-finals of the 2018 World Cup with a 2-1 win over Portugal on Saturday night.
