JOSE MOURINHO is set for talks over a big-money move to Saudi Arabia, according to reports.
The Portuguese coach has 12 months remaining on his contract at Roma.
Rumours have continued to persist about a potential exit, however, after failing to qualify for the Champions League during two seasons in charge.
According to Foot Mercato, Saudi side Al-Hilal have made Mourinho their No1 target to take over as manager.
They are ready to offer him a highly-lucrative contract to move to the Middle East.
And they are said to be willing to give Mourinho, 60, a big say in transfers.
