Al-Hilal Target Inter Milan boss Inzaghi with £25m-a-year mega deal

Simone Inzaghi, under contract with Inter Milan until June 2026, is being seriously courted by Saudi giants Al-Hilal, ready to offer a record-breaking salary

The coach, under contract with Inter Milan until June 30, 2026, has attracted interest from Al-Hilal, who are prepared to shower him with riches.

Simone Inzaghi’s excellent results at the helm of Inter Milan have certainly not gone unnoticed, and there are clubs abroad seriously considering him for the future. 

Over recent months, there have been more or less concrete enquiries, particularly from the Premier League. However, the most serious approach currently comes from Al-Hilal.

Italian newspaper La Repubblica via Fcinter1908.it reports the details of the Saudi offer: "While he dodges criticism in Italy, Inzaghi is being heavily courted abroad. After attempts from PSG and Premier League clubs—Manchester United in particular—Al-Hilal submitted a huge offer last April. 

It would allow Inzaghi to ease the pressure by working in a lower-intensity league like the Saudi Pro League.

The Arabs’ dream was to bring in Carlo Ancelotti, but with that option off the table, the offer—too tempting for anyone to ignore—was made to the Piacenza-born coach. 

It may soon also be presented to José Mourinho. The proposed deal includes a multi-year contract, a salary exceeding €30 million (approx. £25 million) net per season plus bonuses, and a clause allowing Inzaghi to return to Europe in the 2026/27 season without any penalties."

Oaktree prepares rich counteroffer to keep Inzaghi at Inter Milan

Oaktree, the fund that owns Inter Milan, is preparing a generous (by Italian standards) counteroffer: a contract extension worth €10 million (approx. £8.5 million) net per season, including bonuses.
