Simone Inzaghi is at the center of a sensational international market twist. Al-Hilal, the leading club in the Saudi Pro League, has set its sights on the current Inter coach to lead the team in the next Club World Cup.
After the dismissal of Jorge Jesus, the Saudis are looking for a prestigious name and President Fahad Bin Saad Bin Nafel has identified Inzaghi as the ideal man.
The Saudi executive would have made his move in mid-April, going to Milan to meet emissaries of the coach and weave confidential contacts, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.
After a stay at the Four Seasons, he would have left Italy convinced that he had laid a solid foundation for an agreement. The operation, kept secret for weeks, has become topical again due to the urgency of Al-Hilal, still without a coach a few months from the Club World Cup.
The latest rumors speak of an imminent trip by Inzaghi's family or one of his emissaries to Riyadh, to assess the environment and delve into the monstrous offer on the table: over 20 million net euros per season.
According to Arab sources, the key appointment would be set for June 1, the day after the Champions League final in Munich, with the possible signing of the contract.
Inzaghi is under contract with Inter until 2026 and is negotiating for a renewal, but the Saudi offer is hard to ignore. The final decision could come very soon, in an end of the season that promises to be hot on all fronts.
