"Leave Son Heung-min alone" Interest in recruiting Saudi Arabia

Tottenham's Son Heung-min 32 has been linked with Saudi Arabia. However, his transfer is unlikely.

"Son Heung-min is involved in the rumor of a transfer to Saudi Arabia along with Hishalisson, but he is expected to remain at Tottenham this summer."

"Earlier this month, it was reported that Tottenham would extend Son Heung-min's contract from 2025 to 2026. It was alleged that Son Heung-min gave the green light to the contract extension. This means Tottenham will officially start the process of tying Son for another year," he added.

"If Son extends his contract, he could play for Tottenham for two more seasons. He could leave for Saudi Arabia in 2026 and sign his last big contract," he said. According to local reports, Al-Ahli and Al-Ittihad reportedly want Son.

"Saudi Arabia's leadership wanted to recruit Son Heung-min when he was in his prime like last summer or this summer, but Son Heung-min is determined to help end the "trophy drought" before leaving Tottenham," he stressed.

Son Heung-min, who joined Tottenham in 2015, will end his contract after the 2024-25 season. As the next season approaches, local media are dealing with Tottenham's situation and speculating about Son's future moves.

Son Heung-min and Tottenham's current contract is until June 2025. However, conditions were included for the club to extend the contract for another year arbitrarily. Sports media "The Athletic" predicted that Son Heung-min will wear Tottenham's uniform by 2026. It was expected that the club would not sign a new contract and continue to accompany Son Heung-min by making use of the existing contract provisions.

During the 2023-24 season, some local media steadily raised observations that Tottenham could sign a new long-term contract with Son Heung-min.

At the end of the 2022-23 season last year, rumors of Son Heung-min's transfer were raised. Saudi Arabia was mentioned as a destination. At that time, sports media "ESPN" reported that Son Heung-min was offered a contract worth 30 million euros every season for four years.

In fact, he was linked to Saudi Arabian teams such as Mohamed Salah and Kevin De Bruyne last summer, and there is another "oil money" rush in the Middle East this year. It was predicted that the Saudi Arabian team would propose a four-year annual salary of 84 billion won 84 million U.S. dollars to recruit Son this summer.


Transfer market expert Rudy Galetti also said, "Saudi Arabia's RT Hard is pushing to recruit Son Heung-min with the aim of strengthening the offense. Mohamed Salah Liverpool is the main target, but Son Heung-min can also be an alternative." RT Hard is expected to offer a transfer fee of 60 million euros and an annual salary of 30 million euros to recruit Son Heung-min. It is nearly three times the current salary Son Heung-min receives at Tottenham.

However, Ben Jacobs, a reporter for "CBS Sports" at Tottenham, was confident that he would stay in the Premier League and continue the competition. "Saudi Arabian teams are certain to send Son Heung-min a love call, but chances are high that he will stay at Tottenham. There is room to use the Saudi Arabian team's offer to renew the contract. Victor Osimhen used the Saudi Arabian team's offer three times in renewing the contract with Napoli and used it as leverage to raise his salary," he said.

Son Heung-min expressed his intention to stay at Tottenham despite various interests. Tottenham Chairman Daniel Levy also expressed his willingness to accompany Son.

However, no news has been reported about the renewal of contract. As a result, British media outlets including the Sun mentioned the scenario in which Jose Mourinho, former coach of the Turkiye Fenerbahce, will move to Fenerbahce.

According to the British media "Football Insider," Tottenham's plan is clear. He will sign a contract with Son until 2026 using the option of a one-year extension. After that, he will gain an advantage in the situation of renewing his contract and send Son off in 2025 if the situation is not good.


A year later, the deal could be even sold. Alan Hutton, who played for Tottenham in the past, claimed, "I think Tottenham put an option to extend their contract for one year to protect them. If someone replaces Son, then Tottenham can get a transfer fee accordingly." The view was that Tottenham would make money from the transfer fee using Son with one year left on their contract.

Former Everton chairman Keith Wynes also said, "If Son Heung-min is sold to Saudi Arabian team, he can earn huge transfer fee income. If Son Heung-min goes to Saudi Arabian team, he can earn up to 100 million pounds."

Son Heung-min was born in 1992 and does not know when his performance will decline. Tottenham is watching the situation after pushing for a one-year contract extension rather than a long-term contract in preparation for Son's poor performance.

A year later, they say they can adjust their weekly pay according to Son Heung-min's performance, and if their performance falls, they can sell it. Chairman Levi, who was like a knife in organizing the team, seems to be drawing a big picture.
