Gabri Veiga shines at Al-Ahli but remains in the sights of European clubs. A return to Europe looming?
At only 22 years old, Gabri Veiga continues to attract the interest of European giants. The former Celta Vigo player went into exile in Saudi Arabia to join Al-Ahli for 30 million euros. However, he remains a coveted target despite his distance from the European spotlight. According to Sports Stadiumprestigious clubs like the Real Madrid et Manchester City would always follow its development closely.
This situation is especially intriguing since Veiga had the potential to shine in Serie A with Naples or even in the Premier League. However, the attacking midfielder had opted for a bold financial and sporting choice, abandoning the biggest European stages.
A successful adaptation to Al-Ahli
Despite a difficult start, Gabri Veiga has established himself as a key element of Al-Ahli. Since the start of the season, he has played 19 matches in all competitions, scoring 4 goals. His impact was also felt in the Asian Champions League, where his club shone. This consistent performance shows that Veiga has found a cruising speed in a league still in full expansion.
However, this success in Asia is not enough to overshadow the evidence. Veiga is a player who could still excel in Europe’s top leagues. This prospect could appeal to an ambitious club like Manchester City.
Manchester City: a credible alternative
On the Manchester City side, interest in Veiga seems more concrete. Pep Guardiola’s club, known for its ability to get the best out of young talent, could offer Veiga an ideal environment to develop his game. His versatility and ability to fit into spaces makes him an attractive option to strengthen a already formidable workforce.
However, City are also aware of the constraints linked to a transfer of a player playing in Saudi Arabia. Financial requirements and contractual clauses could present obstacles.
Gabri Veiga, who still has 18 months of contract with Al-Ahli, will soon have to make decisive choices for his future. If a return to Europe is not yet a certainty, the next six months could prove crucial.
The question is therefore whether Veiga wishes to continue to flourish in an emerging championship or whether he wishes to return to the forefront of the European scene.
