Richarlison was wanted by a Saudi club in the summerReuters
And it appears they are determined to lure more big names from the Premier League to the Middle East.
The likes of Al-Ittihad tried to sign Mo Salah in the summer, with Son Heung-min also revealing he rejected an offer from the Saudi Pro League.
Now clubs are targeting Sancho and Richarlison, according to The Telegraph.
It is claimed Steven Gerrard’s Al-Ettifaq were amongst the clubs interested in Sancho in the summer.
The winger has since fallen out with manager Erik ten Hag and has been banished from United’s first-team squad.
He has been linked with a loan move to former side Borussia Dortmund, but Al-Ettifaq could return with a bid following their stuttering start to the season.
While Richarlison is understood to have attracted interest from Al-Ittihad and Spurs could decide to sell as he has failed to live up to his £60million price tag since joining.
United could also decide to cash in on Bruno Fernandes with reports claiming Saudi clubs are prepared to spend £87m on the midfielder.

Erik ten Hag may want to keep ahold of the Portuguese however after making him captain in the summer.
But he will likely be happy to see Sancho leave, with the winger still exiled after failing to apologise to him over their public spat in September.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe is said to be happy to sell him when he joins the United board following his investment in the club.
