La Liga
Saudi football is back in action, and this time its target is one of Inter Milan's main pillars: Nicolò Barella. As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, Al-Hilal has placed the Italian midfielder at the top of their reinforcements list for the Club World Cup scheduled for this summer. The Saudi club, financially supported by the powerful Public Investment Fund (PIF), is already devising a strategy to entice the Azzurri international.
Even though formal negotiations have not yet begun, a monumental proposal is being prepared in Saudi Arabia. The goal is clear: persuade Barella to make the leap to the Saudi Pro League with a contract that could reach €35 million per season for four years, a figure that would surpass any previous salary in Italian football history.
They aim to make him the highest-paid Italian ever
Al-Hilal, having recently lost Neymar to injury, aims to shake up the market again with high-profile signings. After acquiring figures like Milinkovic-Savic and Koulibaly, they now seek to form a luxury tandem with Barella and Mohamed Salah, whose contract with Liverpool ends soon.
Despite the looming astronomical figure, those close to Barella insist the player has no intention of leaving Inter. The Milanese club also does not entertain his departure. Nevertheless, with Saudi petrodollars involved, nobody dares to definitively close the door.
