(Football news) The greatest players in Europe have been scooped up by Saudi Arabian clubs, which have been aggressive during the summer. Earlier this summer, players like Karim Benzema, Neymar, and N’Golo Kante followed in Cristiano Ronaldo’s footsteps and moved from Europe to the Middle East.
Along with Jordan Henderson, Riyad Mahrez, Roberto Firmino, and Ruben Neves, Sadio Mane has also signed with Saudi teams. In the form of 21-year-old Vegia, who shone for Celta Vigo last season, the Saudi Pro League is now poised to have one of the brightest possibilities.
In the 2022–2023 season, he played 36 times in La Liga, scoring 11 goals. As a result, Manchester United and Chelsea are said to have expressed interest in him. Veiga appeared to be close to joining Serie A champions Napoli.
However, the gifted midfielder has chosen to sign with Al Ahli, who have had a bid accepted by the Spanish team, over the Premier League and Italy’s top division. Veiga has made the decision to join Al Ahli and said that the young player was the team’s top “secret” objective.
But the transfer has infuriated Madrid’s Kroos, who criticised the decision and called it “embarrassing” in a harsh assessment. On Romano’s Instagram post about Veiga’s transfer, Toni Kroos posted a harsh remark.
Veiga’s arrival to Saudi Arabia signifies the league’s first signing of a true young talent who has the potential to become one of the top players in his position.
