The transfer market continues to deliver unexpected twists, and one of the latest is led by Saudi Arabia's Al Ahli, who has managed to outpace Atlético de Madrid in the race for French midfielder Enzo Millot. This has been confirmed by specialized journalist Fabrizio Romano, who revealed that there is already a verbal agreement between the player and the Saudi club.

Millot, 22 years old, was part of the Bundesliga's Stuttgart and had attracted interest from several European clubs after a standout season in Germany. Among the most persistent suitors was Atlético de Madrid, which had intensified contacts in recent days to secure his signing. Tottenham Hotspur had also been linked to the young French talent, though without making any concrete offer.

However, Al Ahli has swiftly and decisively made its move, convincing both the player and his entourage with a sports and financial proposal hard to refuse. According to Romano, the operation is in its final stages, with only details remaining before the signing becomes official.

Harsh blow for Atlético de Madrid, he was a top priority

One key factor in this operation has been the role of coach Matthias Jaissle, who has been pivotal in the negotiations and has personally expressed his desire to have Millot in his squad. Furthermore, the Saudi club's board has also worked intensively to finalize the signing as soon as possible, anticipating the movements of the Atlético club.
