Celta Vigo coach Rafa Benitez has confirmed Gabri Veiga is leaving for Al-Ahli.

The Spain U21 starlet is wanted by Europe's biggest clubs, but is moving to Al-Ahli after they agreed to meet his 35m buyout clause.

Benitez, at today's LaLiga presser, confirmed Veiga is leaving for Saudi Arabia.

He said, "It is a situation that changes his life and his family for good.

"For the club it is painful, but it can be a very beneficial operation in the medium to long term."
