Fulham manager Marco Silva is believed to be considering a lucrative move to the Saudi Pro League with Al-Hilal interested in his services.
Marco Silva A Wanted Man
The Portuguese native had an impressive season with the Cottagers guiding them to a 10th place finish with a point tally just one shy of a Premier League best for the club.
Silva is under contract in West London until June 2024 and his deal includes a £6m release clause if any club wishes to prize him away from Craven Cottage.
According to reports, Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal have made contact with Silva in recent days. This move for Silva comes at the end of another week that has seen Saudi Arabia shock the world of football.
Bernardo Silva is the latest big name to be linked with a move to the Middle East after a terrific treble-winning season with Manchester City. Meanwhile, N’Golo Kante had his move to Al-Ittihad confirmed earlier this week with Ruben Neves also reportedly finalising a move to Al-Hilal.

So, Neves could be joined by fellow countryman Marco Silva, however the pull of staying in the Premier League may outweigh the riches on offer from the Saudi Pro League.
Ex-Manchester United defender Gary Neville has been expressing his thoughts on the recent movement in the transfer market by Saudi Clubs.
Neville wrote on Instagram: “Any chance the Premier League can look into this Saudi trading like NOW!!!
“Get a Regulator in asap that’s agile enough to stop these things at source! If it doesn’t look right it’s probably not right! Independence is required asap. The Governance of our game is a mess!”.
