  • FC Porto acquired Veiga for €15 million in June 2025.

The Journey of Gabri Veiga

Gabri Veiga, who comes from Galicia, Spain, has risen pretty quickly through the football world. He started his professional career at Celta Vigo, joining the first team back in 2022 and making quite a name for himself in La Liga. His impressive performances eventually led to a move to Al-Ahli in 2023 for €30 million. At Al-Ahli, Veiga played a big part in their AFC Champions League Elite victory, as covered in the Al-Ahli’s historic victory article.


A Strategic Transfer to Porto

In June 2025, Veiga joined FC Porto for €15 million, a move that worked out well for both the player and the club. Veiga has been key to Porto’s domestic and European campaigns, adding to Porto’s already strong reputation for developing talent and pulling in high transfer fees. With his market value now sitting at €24.5 million, Porto stands to gain quite a lot from any future sale. Al-Ahli’s 10% sell-on clause also means they’ll get a cut from whatever Veiga goes for next time.

Veiga’s Rising Stock in the Football Market

Veiga’s rise in value really shows the smart thinking of clubs like FC Porto and Al-Ahli. As mentioned in a recent


by All About SPL, Al-Ahli sold Veiga to Porto last summer for €19 million, and a potential future sale could go well beyond €40 million. This kind of situation really highlights how good Portuguese clubs are in the transfer market, they’ve long been known for negotiating some pretty serious fees. With Veiga’s contract at Porto running until 2030, his performances so far point to a very bright future, making him one of the more exciting prospects in European football right now.
