Ex-Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou 'considering' Saudi offer
The former Celtic manager was sacked by Tottenham 10 days ago, despite leading them to a Europa League victory just 16 days prior.
Spurs owner Daniel Levy dismissed him after a disappointing league campaign that saw the club finish 17th in the Premier League.
The decision was contentious, splitting the fan base and seeming to be unpopular with the players, several of whom paid significant tributes to the Australian.
This leaves Postecoglou as a free agent, contemplating his next career move, which could potentially revitalise his career.
The Scottish Sun reports that Al-Alhi, who are preparing for the possible departure of current boss Matthias Jaissle, have made an approach.
Despite Jaissle leading the team to an AFC Champions League win last month, his future remains uncertain.
Postecoglou is considering replacing him, although he is also thought to have received offers to remain in England or move elsewhere in Europe.
He is believed to favour another Premier League stint, but a lucrative Middle Eastern offer could prove enticing.

Real Betis ‘make offer to buy Antony from Man Utd in rarely seen £17m co-ownership transfer'
Chiefs have already flown in for talks in neutral city TIS THE SEASON Real Betis 'make offer to buy Antony from Man Utd in rarely seen £17m co-ownership transfer' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) REAL BETIS have reportedly made an offer to buy Antony from Manchester United in a rare £17million co-ownership transfer. The Brazilian winger was shipped out on loan to Spain in January after failing to impress Ruben Amorim. 2 Real Betis are looking to sign Antony on the cheap in a rarely-seen deal Credit: Getty Antony looked a different player under Manuel Pellegrini as his five goals and two assists helped Betis qualify for the Europa League. He even picked up a silver medal after finishing as a runner-up to Chelsea in the Conference League final. But Antony is now back at United after his Betis loan came to an end. The former Ajax man cost £86m to sign in 2022 but has struggled for form and is expected to depart United once again. Antony has been linked with a move to Bayer Leverkusen for another reunion with Erik ten Hag. But Betis are hopeful of bringing him back to Spain. And ABC Sevilla claims club chiefs travelled to England for talks with United last week. It's reckoned that Betis proposed a rarely-seen deal that would see them pay just £17m to become theoretical co-owners of Antony. BEST FREE BETS AND BETTING SIGN UP OFFERS Outright co-ownership is common in European football but is banned in the Premier League. So in practice, it would see Antony join Betis for a low figure, while leaving United entitled to a high sell-on clause potentially worth 50 per cent. 'Bring him back' - Antony needs another chance at Man Utd under Ruben Amorim, says club legend 2 It's claimed that Betis chiefs are now confident of striking a deal, but the Red Devils are insisting on a higher fee up front. Sir Jim Ratcliffe has made no secret of his desire to raise funds for new transfers. And accepting just £17m would see United make a staggering £69m loss on a player signed just three years ago. Yet Betis hope the lure of a 50 per cent sell-on clause will turn the deal in their favour and could even be prepared to up the initial fee slightly.

Man Utd's £51m transfer target responds to rumours he could replace Andre Onana
Kaua Santos has distanced himself from rumours that he could be set for a move to Manchester United, insisting he remains 'entirely focused' on Eintracht Frankfurt. The young goalkeeper left Flamengo's academy to join Eintracht in 2023 and went on to make his first senior appearance for the Bundesliga outfit in a 2-1 win over Wolfsburg last September. But Santos suffered a cruciate ligament tear in Eintracht's Europa League quarter-final second leg defeat to Tottenham and the serious knee injury brought the 22-year-old's promising debut season to a premature end. Now on the long road to recovery, the highly rated Brazilian is not expected to return to action until autumn at the earliest. Despite sitting on the sidelines for the past two months, Santos has remained in the spotlight, with some of Europe's elite clubs said to be plotting moves for the former Flamengo shot-stopper.

Sign up to our newsletter and then select your team in the link so we can send you football news tailored to you. Old Trafford has been mooted as a possible destination for Santos after United's director of recruitment, Christopher Vivell, met with Eintracht's chief Markus Krosche in April to discuss a proposed £51million deal. The Red Devils are believed to have identified Santos as a potential target on the back of another unconvincing campaign for Ruben Amorim's error-prone number one Andre Onana. But when quizzed on United's interest in a wide-ranging interview with German newspaper Die Welt, Santos stressed that he was not even thinking about leaving Eintracht. 'The management at Eintracht Frankfurt have shown tremendous confidence in me,' Santos said. 'They wanted to continue working with me before these rumours even surfaced. 'They still have a lot of faith in me here, so it was clear to me that I decided to extend my contract [last October]. 'I want to establish myself as a goalkeeper, perform well and achieve as much as possible.' Asked if he had ambitions to lift major trophies with Eintracht, Santos replied: 'Of course. If I compete, I want to win. 'The club has shown repeatedly with the DFB Cup and Europa League victories, as well as with our Champions League qualification, that great things are possible here. 'I want to help repeat such successes.' United are not alone in tracking Santos' progress, with Bayern Munich reportedly eyeing the youngster as a possible long-term successor for Manuel Neuer. On these rumours, Santos said: 'Manuel is a role model for every goalkeeper. 'Every goalkeeper who comes along now has learned from him. 'I'm not busy with anything else at the moment because my entire focus is on Eintracht Frankfurt.' Santos picked out fellow countrymen, Alisson Becker and Ederson, as his two greatest inspirations in the modern game. More Trending 'I especially look up to my two compatriots Alisson Becker and Ederson,' he explained. 'They're among the best goalkeepers in the world and I watch a lot of videos of both of them. 'With Alisson, I pay particular attention to his positioning and his behaviour in one-on-one duels with the strikers. I've improved a lot in that area since then. 'Ederson is world-class on the ball. That's why I've been watching how precisely he holds his foot when passing and the decisions he makes.' For more stories like this, check our sport page.
