"Veiga's move to Saudi Arabia? I understand him perfectly, if he can help his family..."

Saudi Arabia's emergence in this transfer market has been devastating. Many footballers have decided to plunge into this new journey, where the high amount of money they were going to get was the main conditioning factor.

However, it is not only players who are in the final stages of their careers who have left, but also promising young players. One of them, and one that has given a lot to talk about, was Gabri Veiga, a promising Celta and Spanish player who signed for Al Ahli.

The young midfielder was the subject of much criticism, as many felt he was wasting his enormous talent. However, there were also those who stood up for him.

This is the case of Dani Carvajal, who in an interview for the 'Movistar+' programme 'Universo Valdano' expressed his opinion: "I understand him perfectly. When I went to Germany I signed for five years and the first thing I did was buy a house for my parents. At the end of the day it's an economic support and if you can help your family...".

"You have to understand the kid. In the end the boy can go to Napoli earning a few million euros, but maybe he can suffer an injury or the career doesn't go the way he wants it to go and everything goes wrong. It's understandable," concluded the Real Madrid player.
