Zahavi: Napoli refused to pay Veiga clause - but Al-Ahli...

Super agent Pini Zahavi says a deal with Al-Ahli for Gabri Veiga isn't yet signed off.

However, he admits a move to the Saudis is now close for the Celta Vigo attacker. Al-Ahli have agreed to pay Veiga's €35m buyout clause.

"Napoli didn't want to pay Gabri Veiga's termination clause," said Zahavi.

"The deal with Al-Ahli isn't closed yet, but we're continuing to talk."

All signs are that Veiga will be joining Al-Ahli, with coach Rafa Benitez admitting as much at his LaLiga pre-match presser this morning.
