SAUDI side Al-Ahli are offering Marco Silva a two-year deal worth £40million to leave Fulham this summer, according to reports.
Should he make the move, the Portuguese would become the first serving Premier League boss to be tempted away by the Saudi Pro League.
Silva is currently in the US as part of Fulham's pre-season tour.
But according to Sky Sports, his agents are back in London holding talks with Saudi officials.
Silva, 46, has one year remaining on his Fulham contract.
His deal is claimed to possess a £6million release clause.

Silva joined Fulham in the summer of 2021, 18 months after being axed by Everton.
He guided the West Londoners to promotion from the Championship during his first season, before achieving a tenth-place finish in the Premier League.
The former Hull and Watford boss was claimed to have rejected a £17m offer to move to Saudi Arabia earlier this summer, preferring to stay in the Premier League.
He is also believed to have a contract extension offer on the table from Fulham.
