Kroos labels Veiga's possible move to Saudi Arabia as 'embarrasing'

Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos finds it "embarrasing" that Gabri Veiga, who was expected to join Napoli from Celta Vigo this summer, has reportedly changed his mind to join Saudi side Al-Ahli.

The German wrote a comment on an Instagram post by journalist Fabrizio Romano, who reported the 21-year-old's alleged move on his social media. "Embarrasing," commented Kroos.

Madrid's No. 8 does not agree with the latest transfers to Saudi Arabia in the summer transfer window. The 33-year-old is usually outspoken with his opinions and always creates controversy on social media. Above all, on the podcast he has with his brother.

He already showed his dissatisfaction with the World Cup in Qatar, in which he did not participate because he had already retired from the German national team. The big and juicy offers from the Gulf state are moving many top footballers to play in the Saudi league.

The reported move of Celta Vigo youngster Gabri Veiga to Al-Ahli has particularly upset Toni Kroos as he is a gem at just 21 years of age. The Spaniard was on the verge of signing for Napoli but received a big offer from the Saudi club.
