Massimiliano Allegri refused a salary of 20 million euros in “Al Hilal”.

Powerhouses in Saudi Arabia are spending huge sums to attract Europe’s best.

Cristiano Ronaldo was a “tracker” for footballers in Europe, and recently Karim Benzema, Ruben Neves, N’Golo Kante or Eduard Mendy signed contracts with various teams of the first league of Saudi Arabia.

Now the Arabs from Al Hilal have brought in a famous coach and are in intensive talks with Massimiliano Allegri, the current coach of Juventus.

According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, the 55-year-old Italian rejected any offers from Saudi Arabia, despite being lured by a huge salary.

Massimiliano Allegri turned down his €20m-a-year salary at Al Hilal and decided to stay at Juventus.
