Al Ahli are prepared to make Fulham boss Marco Silva one of the best paid coaches in the world with a contract offer worth £40million.
Silva has a £6m release clause and one year left on his current contract.
The Jeddah club are also targeting Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey and are finalising a £30m deal for Allan Saint Maximin from Newcastle United who is due to have his medical on Friday.
Harvey Barnes underwent a medical on Thursday ahead of his £38m move from Leicester to Newcastle.
Fulham have tabled a new deal but Silva has doubts over whether to commit his immediate future to the west London side despite their impressive top-half finish last season.
