Al-Hilal eye Man Utd target with trump card to lure him from Champions League finalists

Manchester United were previously linked with a move for Inter Milan boss Simone Inzaghi – who is now on the radar in Saudi Arabia with huge funds potentially available

Simone Inzaghi could leave Inter Milan this summer as he’s eyed by Saudi Arabian clubs. The Italian will manage in a second Champions League final in three seasons this weekend, which could prove to be his swan song.

Inzaghi has just seen Inter narrowly miss out on the Serie A title whilst they also came unstuck in the Copa del Rey final. In Europe though the Italians have continued to claim some major scalps, downing Bayern Munich and Barcelona en route to the final.

PSG stand between Inter and a first European triumph since 2010 but Inzaghi will have to make the club more than the sum of their parts when he comes up against the heavily funded PSG outfit led by Luis Enrique.

Inzaghi has not enjoyed the same financial might as other managers around Europe and could yet be tempted by a switch to Al-Hilal. The Saudi outfit have huge riches and are keen on having the Italian as their manager, reports The Times, which would see him benefit from a near open cheque book.

Manchester United and Chelsea have been linked with moves for Inzaghi in the past but he has chosen to remain in Italy. Having had to work within financial constraints the Inter boss may welcome the chance to pursue the players he wants.

The Former Lazio boss previously claimed he leads one of Europe’s best teams at the San Siro with Inter continuing to challenge for honours throughout his tenure, but has remained open minded as to his future moves.

Inzaghi said: “It’s very interesting football, all coaches like it. I don’t deny that there have been possibilities over the last few years, even when I was at Lazio, but I was happy at Lazio and I’m happy at Inter. I like it (English football), it intrigues me, but I’m at one of the best teams in Europe and I’m happy here. Nobody can be certain about the future, though.”

Whilst working in Italy Inzaghi first claimed the Coppa Italia with Lazio before moving to Inter, where he won the Italian Cup on two more occasions. He’s also won Serie A but wasn’t pursue by the Red Devils when they went looking for Erik ten Hag’s replacement.

Inzaghi can claim European Cup glory this weekend and told UEFA: “It would be the crowning achievement of a great job that started four years ago. We know it will be a very important final and we are desperate to make our fans really happy. We will give it our all.”
