Gabri Veiga signs for Al-Ahly in Saudi Arabia, sparking outrage

Posted : 25 August 2023
Stella Vigo's 21-year-old midfielder Gabri Veiga, known for his breakthrough season with 11 goals and four assists, has reportedly accepted a lucrative offer from Al-Ahly in Saudi Arabia. Despite earlier interest from Napoli and various Premier League clubs, Veiga's decision to move to Saudi Arabia has sparked surprise and outrage among fans and players alike. Real Madrid star Toni Kroos expressed his discontent with the move, calling it "embarrassing" in a social media post by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
 
Rafa Benítez, the new manager of Celta Vigo, came to Veiga's defense, highlighting the potential life-changing impact of the move for the young player and his family. Benítez noted that while Veiga is embarking on a new journey, he still has the potential to return to top leagues in the future. Benítez also speculated on the evolving nature of the Saudi league and its potential as a competitive football destination.
 
Al-Ahly, one of Saudi Arabia's prominent teams backed by the country's wealth fund, has made several high-profile signings this summer. The club returned to the top division this season after a historic stint in the second division. They currently hold the second spot with six points from two games, securing wins against Al-Hazem and Al-Khaleej.
 
The move of young talent Veiga to Al-Ahly has raised eyebrows due to the pattern of more established players making the transition to Saudi football. Notably, stars like Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema have also joined Saudi clubs, but Veiga's decision stands out as he is at an early stage of his career and has a promising future ahead.
