If reports are anything to go by, England manager Fabio Capello is set to be offered a staggering £30million to transform the footballing scenery in Qatar.
The mooted four-year deal could force the FA into swift action as Qatar want the Italian in place in an initial consultancy role as early as January.
Qatar currently have no professional league and want to use Capello’s expertise to assist in launching one.
And according to the Sunday Mirror, they see the English national boss as the type of iconic figure to give them major credibility in the market.
Capello’s contract with England will come to an end after next summer’s European Championship finals.
He has ruled out extended that deal and talk of retirement, despite receiving numerous offers to return to domestic club management in Europe.
But the Qatar offer is something entirely different and could extend well beyond the initial four-year offer.
They have already started to branch out with major financial projects with Pep Guardiola’s Barcelona in Spain and Paris St Germain in France.
But their ultimate aim is to launch their own league and entice the biggest players in the world to showcase it.
