I clearly said I wasn’t going, but why do I keep doing this?
Another report has emerged that a Saudi Arabian club is targeting Tottenham captain Son Heung-min. Son Heung-min already dismissed rumors of a transfer to Saudi Arabia last summer. It has been reported that contract renewal negotiations with Tottenham are progressing smoothly. But Saudi Arabia has not given up yet.
Sports media outlet ‘Football Transfer’ reported on the 22nd (Korean time) that ‘Al-Etihad raided Liverpool and Tottenham to capture Mohamed Salah and Son Heung-min.’
Football Transfer said, ‘Alitihad is keen on recruiting Son Heung-min in the upcoming summer transfer market. Al-Ittihad will target both Salah and Son Heung-min to strengthen their attack. This is to replace aging Brazilian forward Romarinho. ‘There is a high possibility that Karim Benzema will leave the team,’ he explained.
Son Heung-min also rejected an annual salary of 42 billion won for the summer of 2023. In June last year, ESPN reported, ‘Alitihad is ready to sign Tottenham striker Son Heung-min for 60 million euros (about 84 billion won) plus bonuses. Sources reported that (Al-Itihad) offered Son Heung-min a four-year contract with an annual salary of 30 million euros (about 42 billion won). It is currently known that Son Heung-min’s annual salary is less than 20 billion won.
At the time, Son Heung-min said, “I like the Premier League, and I think there is still a lot of work left to do in the Premier League. Money is not important to me. For me, being able to feel pride in football and playing in the league I like is the most important thing. “He said.
Son Heung-min’s contract with Tottenham runs until the 2024-2025 season. After this season, Son Heung-min enters the final year of his contract. A star player’s future is usually decided one year before the contract ends. Either extend his contract or sell him for a transfer fee before he becomes a free agent.
