Where, and especially when, will the Saudi raid stop during this summer transfer window? In recent weeks, the question deserves to be asked. One by one the (former) stars of the European continent indeed give in to the fabulous offers from Saudi Arabia. But while most of these players are rather aging, a short 21-year-old could be a bad game-changer.
Few people had seen this transfer coming. Especially not attentive observers of the Celta Vigo who saw in this Gabri Veigaa midfielder of 21, the future of the Spanish selection.
Taulier of the Celta first team since 2021, Veiga indeed chained good performances with the Galician team… to the point of having caught the eye of the biggest European teams. At the start of this summer transfer window, it was announced that there was growing interest from real Madrid or of Naplesto name just these two clubs.
But a few hours ago, surprise, the transfer guru Fabrizio Romano having for his part affirmed that the player was going to lift the veils in the direction of… Saudi Arabia and Al-Ahli, club of Roberto Firmino or of Riyadh Mahreznotably.
-“Here we go“ thus titled the journalist, confirming (almost) officially that the transfer was completed and thus endorsing the very first departure of a player “in full force of age” for Saudi Arabia.
Unsurprisingly, this choice has been heavily commented and criticized on social networks. In particular by… Toni Kroos, the Real Madrid veteran. Passed by, the German commented on Romano’s post with a simple “Embarrassing” (embarrassingly) unequivocally.
What sums up the general thinking of most football lovers…
