In addition to Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and Neymar, Saudi Pro League clubs have continued to strengthen and some have increasingly high-quality squads.

This is the case ofAl Ahliwhich offered itself several sympathetic names this summer among which are Riyadh Mahrez, Allan Saint-Maximin, Roberto Firmino, Edouard Mendy… Enough to give both sporting and financial arguments to the current second in the Saudi Pro League.

In any case, this was enough to convince a player tracked by many clubs in Europe including PSG and Naples, Gabri Veiga (21 years old). The young midfielder from Celta Vigo signed this Saturday with Al-Ahli for a period of three years and an amount of 40 million euros. The Spaniard will receive a salary of around €12m per year in Saudi Arabia.
