Although Fulham is only a Premier League club, it has also become a target for Saudi Arabian clubs to "grab talents". After Hilal's offer to buy striker Alexandre Mizouwick, another Saudi team, Jeddah Al-Ali, has pushed for Fulham's leader Marko Schwarz to join the club, offering a two-year contract with a yearly salary of 20 million pounds (about 200 million Hong Kong dollars) to the 46-year old Portuguese manager.
Jeddah Aly won the first division title last season and will be promoted to the Shah Premier League in the coming season. The club has been actively increasing the number of troops this summer, and has already signed Liverpool striker Roberto Falmino and Chelsea goalkeeper Aidoo Yavendi, but the position of the head coach is still unoccupied, so the plan is to invite Marcos Schwartz to take charge of the coaching staff and offer him a two-year contract with a salary of 20 million pounds per annum, which is five times of his current wage, and is on a par with the highest-paid Premier League team leader Gordion Gottfried, so it is very appealing. Very attractive indeed. It has been reported that Marko Schwarz's manager has already met with Jeddah Ali's representative in London, and the deal is ready to be finalized.
