Gabri Veiga linked with Atletico Madrid
Atletico Madrid during the summer transfer window is very active. Let us recall that on Metropolitan Stadium Julian Alvarez, Conor Gallagher, Robin Le Normand, Alexander Sorloth, Clement Lenglet and Juan Musso landed. According to the latest media reports, this is not the end of the purchases made by the capital club.
As Fabrizio Romano reports on social media, Diego Simeone has one more request for the Atletico Madrid management. The Argentine coach needs to strengthen the midfield in his team. The Spanish team’s attention has reportedly been drawn to Gabri Veiga, who normally plays in Saudi Arabia.
Let us recall that the 22-year-old midfielder moved to the Middle East last summer. The move of the Spanish youth international to the Arabian Peninsula has stirred up huge emotions. The Celta Vigo graduate is considered one of the greatest talents in Spanish football in recent years.
Gabri Veiga could, however, be making a swift return to Europe following interest from Atletico Madrid. The talented player currently dons the shirt of Saudi Arabian side Al-Ahli, for whom he has made a total of 23 appearances, scoring four goals and providing the same number of assists.
The professional website “Transfermarkt” values the still promising footballer at 25 million euros. Gabri Veiga’s contract with his current employer runs until mid-2026.
