🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia come knocking for Imanol Alguacil | OneFootball

Imanol Alguacil's future, the former coach of Real Sociedad, seems to be moving further and further away from Spain. Saudi Arabia has burst into the bidding for his services, and Al-Shabab is shaping up to be his next destination after a key meeting in Riyadh.

The coach from Orio, who seemed destined to join Sevilla, has received a millionaire offer that makes him rethink his future. Sources close to the Saudi club confirm that Alguacil spent about six hours at Al-Shabab's facilities, known as the 'White Lions', where he not only discussed the attractive economic offer but also the team's ambitious sports plans.

From Riyadh, local media report that the agreement is closed, although in Sevilla they insist that the Basque coach has not yet made a final decision.

Sevilla has lost ground in his signing. Not even the arrival of Antonio Cordón as sports director has accelerated the negotiations, leaving the Andalusian club with almost no options.
