Rising French Star Heads to the Middle East
Enzo Millot, a creative attacking midfielder with a growing reputation in European football, has made a high-profile switch to Al Ahli. The deal, which spans three years, was unveiled on Saturday via official club channels.
While financial details were not disclosed by either club, multiple Saudi outlets report the transfer fee to be in the region of €30 million ($34.92 million). This significant investment highlights Al Ahli’s intent to build a competitive side capable of dominating domestically and performing strongly in the AFC Champions League Elite.
Millot’s Impact at Stuttgart
Millot joined Stuttgart in 2021 and gradually developed into a key figure for the German side. His breakthrough came during the 2024–25 season, where he featured in 37 matches across all competitions. He delivered an impressive tally of eight goals and eight assists, showcasing his ability to both create and convert scoring opportunities.
One of his standout performances came in the German Cup final, where he scored twice to help Stuttgart secure a 4-2 victory over Arminia Bielefeld—an achievement that significantly raised his profile in European football circles.

Al Ahli’s head coach Matthias Jaissle expressed excitement over the new signing, describing Millot as “technically gifted with excellent tactical intelligence.” The French midfielder is expected to bring creativity and control to Al Ahli’s midfield, complementing the club’s growing list of international talents.
The move signals another step forward for the Saudi Pro League’s ongoing strategy of attracting young, skilled players from Europe—not just seasoned veterans—to elevate the overall level of play and global visibility.
What’s Next for Millot and Al Ahli?
As Al Ahli prepares for the upcoming campaign, Millot is set to take on a pivotal role in midfield. With his European pedigree and recent form, expectations will be high for the Frenchman to adapt quickly and make an impact in one of the fastest-growing leagues in world football.
