VfB Stuttgart transfers Millot to Saudi Arabia officially.
Stuttgart's Millot Joins Al-Ahli SFC in Saudi Arabia for €28 Million
Enzo Millot, a French midfielder and current U21 national team player, has completed his transfer from VfB Stuttgart to Al-Ahli SFC in Saudi Arabia. The transfer fee, reported to be around €28 million, makes Millot the third most expensive outgoing transfer in Stuttgart’s history.
Millot, who joined Stuttgart from AS Monaco in 2021 for €1.7 million, struggled initially due to injuries and adaptation challenges. However, he improved significantly under coach Sebastian Hoeness before the transfer.
Though exact performance stats are not provided, Millot made a notable impact in the Bundesliga over the past two seasons, attracting interest from major European clubs like Atletico Madrid and Tottenham Hotspur. The Saudi club, managed by Matthias Jaissle who values Millot’s Bundesliga experience, secured his signature to bolster their squad ahead of the new Roshn Saudi League season.
The details of Millot's contract with Al-Ahli SFC are not publicly disclosed, and his jersey number for the new club has not been announced. The transfer had been in the works for some time, and Millot's debut match for Al-Ahli SFC is yet to be scheduled.
Millot's departure from Stuttgart leaves a gap in their offensive line. The transfer includes a buy-back clause with Stuttgart, allowing the German club a potential opportunity to re-sign Millot in the future.
