It's going to be an all-time transfer…HERE WE GO "Son Heung-min meets Saudi team" and confirms early stage of negotiations
Blog Article
Son Heung-min (33, Tottenham Hotspur) and the Saudi Arabian team are connected. This time, the highly publicized side mentioned the rumor of a transfer to Saudi Arabia. Son Heung-min's meeting with the Saudi Arabian team was detected.
Fabrizio Romano, one of the top authorities in the European transfer market, shocked by directly mentioning the possibility of negotiations, saying, "There has been contact between Son Heung-min's agent and the Saudi club in recent weeks."
"Saudi clubs are showing great interest in recruiting Son Heung-min," Romano told global media outlet DAZN. "Son Heung-min and Saudi Arabian teams have a good relationship. It is true that there have been talks for several weeks." Although official proposals or specific negotiations are still pending, it is known that the rumor is based on a simple rumor.
Currently, Son Heung-min has a year left on his contract with Tottenham. As the contract is nearing expiration, the club is at a crossroads to make a major decision to renew or sell. If Son Heung-min moves without renewing his contract, this summer is actually the last chance to receive a transfer fee. In response, Romano said, "Tottenham has not yet received any official offers, but anything can happen if the Saudi Arabian team approaches it in earnest."
One of the factors that increases Son's chances of transfer is Tottenham's internal situation. Tottenham has been looking for a new head coach, replacing Engie Postecoglou after the end of the 2024-25 season. According to Romano, Brentford coach Thomas Frank is the leading candidate. Daniel Levy is about to start full-fledged negotiations.
Whether the new coach wants Son to stay will have a decisive impact on his future career. Romano said, "If the new coach sees Son as his core strength, Tottenham will do its best to catch him. However, if Son's position is weakened in the new project and philosophy, the club can also turn to selling him."
Al-Hilal and Al-Etihad are mentioned as the most promising Saudi teams that are interested in Son. Both teams have brought in a number of European stars based on the strong funding power of the Saudi PIF. Al-Etihad offered Son 25.3 million pounds (46.6 billion won) in annual salary two years ago. It was nearly 180 billion won in total over the four years.
Local media predict a similar level of conditions will be offered this summer, and the estimated transfer fee is around 80 billion won to 100 billion won. He has a year left on his contract at the age of 33, but considering Son Heung-min's value, it is a huge transfer fee.
Son Heung-min has been the club's leading star for 10 years since joining Tottenham in 2015. He has scored in double digits for eight consecutive Premier League seasons, and he became the top scorer in the Premier League in 2022, becoming the first Asian player to make history. In addition, he boasts a brilliant personal career, including PFA Team of the Year and the Puskas Award.
However, Son's career has always been marked with no title. He suffered from two runner-ups during the 10-year span of Tottenham's career. However, he finally came to an end by winning the UEFA Europa League trophy in 2025. He beat Manchester United to win the Europa League title for the first time in 17 years, and achieved the first major championship in his professional career.
This is Son Heung-min who ended his "holy fire" at Tottenham. He will play in the Champions League next season, but now he can seriously consider a new challenge.
It is none other than Tottenham fans who reacted most sensitively to the rumor of the transfer. The British media Football London reported that many fans were shocked by the news that Son could be transferred, and there is a strong public opinion that Son should be caught.
Meanwhile, inside Tottenham, there was a sense of approaching Son Heung-min's contract from a management perspective. "He is one of the highest-paid players in the club, but his skills have been declining in recent years," Spurs Web said. "He has to respect his commitment, but unconditional renewal has risks," while "Tottenham Hotspur News" said, "He has contributed tremendously to commercial profits, but he is gradually passing the peak in terms of performance. For this reason, this summer could be the right time to say goodbye."
Son's future is still in the fog. It has not been decided whether he will continue his final career in the Premier League and pursue another goal or choose "happiness soccer" with economic rewards by moving to a new stage. 카지노
According to ESPN, a global sports media outlet, the Saudi Arabian summer transfer market will open from July 20. Son's future is expected to be highlighted in earnest from then on.
