Real Madrid and Manchester City Eye Saudi Arabia Star
Real Madrid and Manchester City are reportedly considering a January move for Saudi Arabia star Gabri Veiga, who has been making waves in the Middle East. The 22-year-old attacking playmaker made a significant €30m move to Al-Ahli two summers ago, catching the attention of top European clubs like Napoli, Manchester City, and Real Madrid.
Veiga’s Potential Return to Europe
Despite being labeled as ’embarrassing’ by former Real Madrid star Toni Kroos, Veiga seems poised for a potential return to the European football scene. Recent reports suggest that both Manchester City and Real Madrid have continued to keep a close eye on the young talent, with Veiga remaining a key target for the clubs.
During various interviews, Veiga has remained non-committal about a potential move back to Europe, indicating that while he is not actively seeking a transfer, he is aware of the interest from top-tier clubs. With 18 months left on his contract, Veiga’s future is likely to be decided in the upcoming months, setting the stage for a possible transfer window move.
Veiga’s Performance and Prospects
Following a challenging start at Al-Ahli, Veiga has shown his prowess on the field by starting in 15 out of 17 games and contributing to five goals this season. His stellar performances have also helped his team secure victories in all their Asian Champions League matches, further solidifying his position as a rising star in the football world.
While Real Madrid’s interest in Veiga may come as a surprise to some, given their existing pool of talented players in similar positions, the allure of his potential and skill set cannot be ignored. With players like Arda Guler, Rodrygo Goes, and Brahim Diaz already excelling behind the forward line, the addition of Veiga could provide a new dimension to their attacking prowess.
In conclusion, the upcoming months are poised to be crucial in determining Veiga’s next career move, with both Real Madrid and Manchester City closely monitoring his progress in the Middle East. As the transfer window approaches, football fans around the world eagerly await to see if Veiga will make a triumphant return to European football or continue to shine in the vibrant football landscape of Saudi Arabia.
