JEDDAH — Al Ahli have completed the signing of French international Enzo Millot from VfB Stuttgart on a three-year contract, continuing their push to reinforce the squad with high-caliber foreign talent ahead of the 2025-26 Roshn Saudi League season.

The 23-year-old attacking midfielder, a product of Monaco’s academy, broke into the club’s first team in 2020 before moving to Stuttgart in August 2021. He quickly established himself as a regular starter in the Bundesliga, drawing interest from top clubs in Spain, England, and Germany.

Millot enjoyed a standout 2024-25 campaign, making 29 Bundesliga appearances with six goals and five assists. He also impressed in the Champions League, scoring twice and assisting three goals in eight appearances, while posting an 85% pass completion rate — one of the highest among attacking midfielders in the league.

On the international stage, Millot progressed through France’s youth ranks and earned eight caps for the Olympic squad, scoring twice, including in the Paris 2024 Olympic final against Spain.

“We’ve been watching Enzo for a while,” said Al Ahli manager Matthias Jaissle. “He’s technically gifted with excellent tactical intelligence. Coming from the Bundesliga is perfect for us — it’s such a physical, high-tempo league that he’ll be ready for what we’re asking of him next season. We’re excited to see how he complements the squad.”

Following his signing ceremony, Millot visited Shebara Resort at the Red Sea destination, owned by Red Sea Global, Al Ahli’s strategic partner. Accompanied by his family, he experienced Saudi hospitality and explored the area’s unique marine beauty before preparing to link up with his new teammates.

Millot is expected to join Al Ahli’s training sessions within the next two days as part of the preseason program approved by the coaching staff.
