Silva, 45, reportedly has an offer on the table to extend his stay in West London.

But according British paper the i, Al-Hilal are trying to attract Silva to the Middle East.

The former Everton boss has one year remaining on his current Fulham deal.

The contract is believed to possess a £6million release clause, a fee Al-Hilal would be happy to pay.

It is claimed that Silva is edging towards staying with Fulham, preferring to remain in the Premier League rather than moving to the Saudi Pro League.

Al-Hilal sealed a £47million deal to sign Wolves star Ruben Neves earlier this week.

The deal came as the four Public Investment Fund-owned clubs – Al-Hilal, Al-Ahli, Al-Nassr and Al-Ittihad continue their aggressive recruitment drive.

Al-Nassr signed Cristiano Ronaldo following his Manchester United exit, while N’Golo Kante and Karim Benzema have joined Al-Ittihad.
