Al-Hilal Chairman Fahad bin Nafel traveled to Milan as the Saudi club shows interest in Inter's Nicolò Barella and coach Simone Inzaghi. Al-Hilal aims to enhance their squad by potentially acquiring the services of Barella and Inzaghi, as reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport.

Despite earlier reports of Barella rejecting an offer from Al-Hilal, the Saudi club continues to pursue the Italian midfielder. Additionally, Al-Hilal considers Inzaghi as a top candidate to replace their current coach, Jorge Jesus. Fahad bin Nafel's recent visit to Milan suggests ongoing discussions for a possible deal, with Al-Hilal willing to offer up to €20m per season to secure Inzaghi, although Inter remains optimistic about extending his contract. Inter President Beppe Marotta emphasized the expected extension of Inzaghi's contract until 2028, making him potentially the highest-paid Serie A coach if the deal is finalized.
