The website of the Al-Riyadh newspaper reports that Al-Ittihad, who have previously tried twice to recruit Marco Silva as their head coach, are set to warm up for the Saudi Cup with a pre-season training camp in China. The story suggests that Fulham are shortly to be announced as one of their opponents for fixtures that will take place during a tour of Spain and Portugal scheduled for a fortnight in the middle of July.
