Marco Silva will speak to Fulham’s owner, Shahid Khan, before deciding whether to accept an offer to coach Al-Ahli after the Saudi Arabian club made him an improved offer worth up to €40m (£34.7m) for a two-year deal.
Silva rejected an initial proposal from Al-Ahli, one of four clubs in Saudi Arabia owned by the country’s Public Investment Fund, which has majority ownership of Newcastle. Manchester City’s Riyad Mahrez and Newcastle’s Allan Saint-Maximin are poised to become the latest players to join Al-Ahli, who have signed Édouard Mendy and Roberto Firmino this summer.
