Blues skipper Sam Morsy is reported to be interesting clubs in Saudi Arabia.
An increasing number of Europe-based players are moving to the Saudi Pro League, most notably Cristiano Ronaldo, with very significant levels of cash provided by the PIF, the country's sovereign wealth investment fund, as the nation seeks to build its league.
Liverpool veteran Jordan Henderson is on the verge of a move to Al Ettifaq, who are managed by Steven Gerrard, and now it’s reported Blues captain Morsy is another of those being targeted, by so-far unnamed clubs. And we understand there is some truth to the reports.
The Egypt international is 32 in just over a month and a big pay day at this stage of his career could be attractive.
Morsy has two years left on his Town contract, the new deal he signed last summer having included a clause which would trigger an additional season on promotion to the Championship.
