The English Premier League club Fulham, despite its small size, has become a "headhunting target" in the Saudi soccer world. Following the public offer of Saudi team Hilal to buy Fulham striker Alexandre Mizouwick, another Saudi powerhouse, Jeddah Aly, has launched a strong invitation to Fulham leader Marko Schwarz. They have offered the 46-year-old Portuguese manager a two-year deal with an annual salary of up to £20 million (HK$200 million).
Jeddah Al-Ali won the championship of Saudi Arabia's first division last season and will soon be promoted to the Saudi Arabia Premier League. In order to achieve good results in the new season, the club has been actively expanding its squad this summer, and has already signed Liverpool striker Robert Toufalminou and Chelsea goalkeeper Aidoo Yavendi. However, the team's managerial position is still vacant, so Jeddah Ali decided to invite Marko Schwarz to take charge of the coaching whip and offer him a two-year contract with an annual salary of 20 million pounds, which is five times his current salary, and is the same as the current Premier League's highest-paid team leader, Gordiona, which is very attractive. It has been reported that Magoschwar's agent has met with Jeddah Ali's representatives in London, and the possibility of cooperation between the two sides is gradually increasing.
