Gabri Veiga, who surprised European football by leaving Celta de Vigo to try his luck in Saudi Arabia, is determined to return to the major leagues of the continent. At 21 years old, the midfielder opted for a change of scenery that sparked debate, but now, two giants like Real Madrid and Manchester City are eyeing him, preparing moves to try to sign him in the upcoming summer transfer window, as reported by Estadio Deportivo.

After a shaky start at Al-Ahli, marked by injuries and adaptation issues, Veiga has found some stability this season. He has played 18 games and contributed four goals and an assist, although his performance has been questioned due to a tactical setup that does not favor his best qualities. Nevertheless, in the AFC Champions League, he has been a key player, leading the team alongside figures like Roberto Firmino and Riyad Mahrez.

Gabri Veiga wants to return to Europe

With a contract until mid-2026, the Spanish player’s future seems to be heading back to Europe. His performance in a competitive environment like Asia has sparked interest from teams willing to take advantage of a possible negotiation with the Arab club. Real Madrid, aware of the talent Veiga showed in his time in LaLiga, sees him as an option to rejuvenate their midfield. On the other hand, Manchester City views the Spanish player as an ideal complement to their offensive system.

Veiga has made it clear that he misses his homeland and does not rule out a return, although he prioritizes his current situation at Al-Ahli. The next transfer window will be crucial for his career, with two of the most powerful clubs in Europe ready to bid for his talent.
