The Saudi Professional League continues to attract the most prominent emerging talents in Europe, this time by signing the French star Enzo Millot, 23 years old, who made a name for himself in the German league thanks to his high technical skills, ability to control the pace of the game, and precise passes that make a difference in the final third of the field.

Millot is distinguished by field intelligence and tactical vision that make him one of the most promising midfielders in Europe. He has an extensive record of continental appearances, especially in the UEFA Champions League, in addition to his domestic titles that have strengthened his status among the top players of his generation.

Al-Ahli Saudi officially announced on Sunday the signing of Millot from German club Stuttgart in a huge deal worth 28 million euros. He will wear the number 10 jersey and become a key pillar in the club’s project for the upcoming seasons. The deal, concluded on August 9, 2025, is part of Al-Ahli’s efforts to strengthen its squad with stars capable of competing for local and continental titles, continuing the team’s path that includes big names in football.

Millot, born on July 17, 2002, in Lucé, France, has origins from Martinique Island and stands 1.75 meters tall. He primarily plays as an attacking midfielder, with the ability to play as a central midfielder and right winger, relying mostly on his left foot for most of his movements and decisive passes. He played for the France U21 national team, appearing in 6 official matches, contributing through his control of the game pace despite not scoring any international goals at this stage.

His football career began at the Etoile du Brou academy in 2008, then moved to FC Chartres and FC Dreux, before joining Monaco’s academy in 2017, progressing through various age groups until reaching the first team in the 2020-2021 season. On August 14, 2021, he transferred to Stuttgart for 1.75 million euros, starting a new phase where his talent emerged on a broader scale.

During four seasons with Stuttgart, he participated in 133 official matches, scoring 24 goals and providing 23 assists. In the Bundesliga, he played 89 matches, scoring 11 goals and assisting 14. In the German Cup, he appeared in 13 matches, scoring 6 goals and assisting 3, and also played 8 matches in the Champions League, scoring 2 goals and providing 3 assists.

His career has been crowned with several titles, most notably the German Cup, the Franz Beckenbauer Super Cup, and a silver medal with the France U23 team at the Olympic Games. He has an impressive scoring rate from midfield, averaging a goal every 327 minutes, alongside high passing accuracy and a consistent presence in the starting lineup.

Enzo Millot’s joining Al-Ahli represents a strategic step that will give the team greater tactical flexibility, especially with prominent players like Riyad Mahrez, enhancing the club’s ambitions to deliver an exceptional season and compete for all championships.
