After a protracted discussion with Napoli, Celta Vigo hangs up the phone and accepts Al Ahli’s offer. The Saudi club offered a large sum of money for the 21-year-old midfielder’s asking price, and, without exerting too much effort, persuaded the player that Gabri Veiga, who earns 12–13 million euros a year, is getting ready to leave Europe and immigrate.

Saudi Arabia hasn’t stopped yet
The exodus, meantime, carries on and doesn’t end at Gabri Veiga. Aymeric Laporte, a Spanish defender born in 1994 who is permanently leaving Manchester City and joining Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mané’s squad, has in reality been registered by Al-Nassr. The former Athletic Bilbao player has agreed to a three-year contract and will pay approximately 30 million to the European champion club.
In the coming days, there might be another huge “bang.” Mohamed Salah’s exit from Liverpool is the subject of persistent rumours. Naturally, Al Ittihad and Saudi Arabia are the intended destinations. Unconfirmed rumours claim that the 31-year-old will be given a “surreal” deal, one that will pay him even more than Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar have been promised by Al Nassr and Al Hilal, respectively.
