Toni Kroos has savagely called his surprise decision to join Al-Ahli “embarrassing”.

Kroos, however, opposed Veiga’s shock decision to leave La Liga for the kingdom’s riches and took aim at him on social media.

Jeddah-based Al-Ahli are one of the most active Saudi clubs on the market, having attracted Roberto Firmino, Edouard Mendy, Allan Saint-Maximin and Franck Kessie. Their capture of Veiga, however, is particularly eye-catching.

Many actors have been convinced to leave Europe this summer, thanks to a formidable recruiting campaign fueled by the Saudi Public Investment Fund.

Veiga has emerged as one of the continent’s brightest talents after a superb season last time out and has also become a regular player in Spain’s Under-21s.
