Al-Hilal have reportedly successfully negotiated a fee with Lazio for midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.
The Serbia international has established himself as a legendary figure at Stadio Olimpico having starred during an eight-year stint with the Italian giants.
Milinkovic-Savic has contributed 69 goals and 59 assists from 341 appearances in all competitions, with his form having recently helped Maurizio Sarri's side earn a place in next season's Champions League.
However, for a number of years, there has been constant speculation regarding his future, a consequence of higher-profile clubs having become admirers of his ability.
A transfer has never come close to completion with Lazio never in any rush to sell and Milinkovic-Savic having enjoyed life in Rome.
Nevertheless, with just a year remaining on his contract at I Biancocelesti, it appears that the time may have come for the 28-year-old to take on a new challenge.
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Lazio have accepted an offer from Al-Hilal for their key player, with the Saudi Arabian outfit seemingly prepared to pay a €40m (£34.3m) fee.
Although a formal bid is reportedly yet to be lodged, the Saudi Pro League side are allegedly keen to proceed with a deal for Milinkovic-Savic.
Romano adds that Milinkovic-Savic is yet to make a decision on his future, leaving any switch to the Middle East in doubt for the time being.
Al-Hilal have recently announced that Jorge Jesus, formerly of Benfica and Fenerbahce, is returning to the club as head coach to coincide with two big-name additions.
Ruben Neves has joined from Wolverhampton Wanderers for a club-record £47m fee, while he was followed by the signing of Chelsea defender Kalidou Koulibaly.
The likes of Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea have all been linked with Milinkovic-Savic in the past and may decide to renew their interest in due course.
That said, United may not be able to meet Lazio's demands due to their need to remain within FFP, while Chelsea are said to have their sights set on Brighton & Hove Albion's Moises Caicedo.
