Reportedly, Saudi Pro League club Al-Hilal are keen to sign Acerbi.
The Saudi club have already appointed former Nerazzurri coach Simone Inzaghi. And Inzaghi is keen to have a familiar face join him, in the form of Acerbi.
However, according to SportMediaset, the Italian international does not want to drop down to a lower sporting level by making the move to the Saudi top flight.
