Porto Targeting Gabri Veiga from Al Ahli

FC Porto is working hard to sign Gabri Veiga from Al Ahli. The club wants to bring the 22-year-old Spanish midfielder back to Europe.

TRANSFER TALKS MOVING FORWARD

Porto is keen to get Veiga and make him a star signing this summer. Discussions are moving forward, with a transfer fee of around €16-17 million on the table. The deal might include a sell-on clause. Porto is making sure the deal meets Al Ahli‘s terms as they aim to build a strong squad for the new season.

PLAYER WANTS TO MOVE

Talks are moving quickly because Veiga is eager to join Porto. He likes Porto’s plans and wants to come back to Europe. This interest could help in finalizing the deal. Veiga’s desire to play at Porto’s home stadium adds excitement to the talks.

STRONG PLAY IN SAUDI ARABIA

Veiga left Celta Vigo for Al Ahli in 2023 for around €40 million. Moving to Porto for €16-17 million is a big price drop. In Saudi Arabia, he scored 11 goals and had 11 assists in 48 games. He helped Al Ahli win the AFC Champions League this May, adding a major title to his career.

RETURN TO EUROPE

If the deal goes through, Veiga will be back in European football. It’s interesting that Porto, playing in the Europa League next season, wants him. Porto finished their league season in a position that qualifies for the Europa League, as their league rivals took the Champions League spots.

WHAT’S NEXT?

While the talks go on, both clubs are working on the final details of this big summer transfer. Adding a sell-on clause suggests Porto sees his long-term potential. They might earn a percentage of his future transfer fee. Signing Veiga would show Porto’s ambition in preparing their squad for domestic and European games in 2025-26. The deal’s outcome will become clearer as the agreements near completion.
