Real Madrid star slams “embarrassing” Gabri Veiga over surprise Saudi Arabia transfer
Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos has slammed Gabri Veiga as “embarrassing” for completing a transfer to Saudi Arabia club Al Ahli.
The former Germany international has had a superb career playing at the very highest level, winning the Champions League and other major honours with both Real Madrid and his former club Bayern Munich, while he is also a World Cup winner with his country.
It’s perhaps not too surprising, therefore, that Kroos is far from impressed to see a promising young talent like Veiga moving from La Liga to the Saudi Pro League at such an early stage in his career.

While it may have been a tad unprofessional of Kroos to publicly criticise Veiga this way, it’s hard not to see the 33-year-old’s point.
Veiga is a huge talent with the world at his feet, and could surely have been competing for major honours with a move to Napoli this summer, or a number of the other top clubs who wanted him.
The Spaniard would be earning big money wherever he went, so to choose a lucrative offer from Saudi over the prestige of playing at the top level certainly seems a highly questionable decision.
