Inzaghi is facing an uncertain future at San Siro following Inter’s humiliating 5-0 defeat against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League finals.
Inter also lost the 2024/25 Serie A title to Napoli by one point.
Al Hilal have been monitoring the Italian gaffer for a while, and a lucrative offer worth €25 million on a three-year deal is on the table.
Although the Nerazzurri want to continue with Inzaghi, whose contract expires next year, he is tempted to make a big-money switch to the Saudi league.
Inzaghi will decide on his future in the coming days after the meeting with Inter executives.
The former Lazio gaffer has revolutionised the Nerazzurri since his arrival in 2021, establishing himself as one of the best coaches in Europe.
The 49-year-old led them to a Serie A title, two Coppa Italia titles, two Italian Super Cups and, above all, two runners-up finishes in the Champions League.
Inter have started planning for the alternatives, with Fabregas emerging as the top target to succeed Inzaghi.
The former Spanish playmaker is a manager in demand, drawing interest from Bundesliga clubs, including Bayer Leverkusen and RB Leipzig.
The Serie A outfit, however, want to keep hold of him following his massive impact at the club.
Fabregas exceeded expectations in his debut season in Italy, inspiring newcomers Como to a top-10 finish while making them play an attractive brand of football.
Marseille gaffer Roberto De Zerbi is also on Inter’s wishlist, but the French giants could look to keep him following the Champions League qualification.
Inter have also shortlisted Parma head coach Cristian Chivu and Genoa’s Patrick Vieira.
