- Club to meet Allegri in the next 24-48 hours
WHAT HAPPENED? Al-Hilal, who were interested in signing Lionel Messi before the Argentine decided to join Inter Miami, are now chasing Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri and are reportedly ready to offer him a massive salary of €28 million, almost four times more than what he was earning at Juventus (€7m plus bonuses), to lure the Italian according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.
THE BIGGER PICTURE: The report also states that representatives of the Saudi outfit will meet Allegri in Monte Carlo within the next 48 hours to finalise a deal.
AND WHAT'S MORE: All eyes have been on Saudi Arabian clubs in recent times as they are pushing to sign some of the top talents in Europe. After Cristiano Ronaldo's move to Al-Nassr in January, Karim Benzema has now joined Al-Ittihad and players like N'Golo Kante and Sergio Ramos are also reportedly on their way to the Middle East.
