I’m not sure I fully believe the we will build slowly narrative, I just don’t see the Saudis wanting anything other than to be the biggest and best we can as soon as possible.
The longer it goes without a concrete link to a particular name the more I think it’s him, purely because negotiations with him would be the most detailed and complex imo
I thought they literally can’t pay any more money out to anyone though ? And they can’t afford to sack koeman? I might be completely wrong just thought I read that somewhere.
It wouldn’t even surprise me if they haven’t sacked him yet so we can enjoy more great news to start the week, as in save it so it didn’t get caught up in the euphoria of last week.
