Saudi Arabia is close to buying a surprise club in the Italian League

The Corriere dello Sport newspaper reported that the Saudi Investment Fund is interested in buying one of the Italian League clubs.

It was previously said that the fund is about to buy Inter or Roma, specifically the latter was the focus of attention due to the developing relationship between it and the Riyadh season.

However, the Italian newspaper revealed that the club that the Saudis are considering buying is Torino.

The Italian club is not for sale, but its owner Urbano Cairo is ready to discuss the matter due to the pressure imposed on him by the fans following the decline in results in recent years.

The value of Torino shares is estimated at 250 million euros, but Cairo will agree to sell the club for only 200 million euros if it receives a serious offer.

It is worth noting that the Saudi Investment Fund owns the largest share in Newcastle United, and the big quartet in Saudi Arabia, Al-Hilal, Al-Ittihad, Al-Ahli and Al-Nassr.
