Saudi Arabian clubs are reportedly increasing their interest in Tottenham’s Son Heung-min, 32. With Son Heung-min perhaps concluding his time with Tottenham this summer, Saudi teams are actively pursuing him.Alcardisia is one of the specific teams showing strong interest.
According to Picha Hess, a transfer market specialist, who cited British media outlet team talk on June 19th, “Son Heung-min’s future is getting uncertain in Tottenham. Son Heung-min is receiving the attention of several Saudi teams, and saudi teams are willing to pay meaningful transfer and salary to recruit Son Heung-min this summer. It is known.”
Reportedly, Alnasr, Okli, and Alcardicia are among the Saudi teams interested in acquiring Son Heung-min. Alnasr, seeking to reclaim the top spot after not winning since 2019, is considering letting go of Sadio Manet to make room for Son Heung-min. Newly appointed manager Shimone Inkaki is reportedly a fan of the player.
Alcatisia is also aiming to strengthen its squad by recruiting star players from Europe, including Napernandez and Pierre Malik Obama. The club aims to compete at the highest level. Besides Son Heung-min, Albaromorata and Paulo Devala are also reportedly on their radar.
Saudi teams are prepared to offer Son Heung-min an annual salary of £25.6 million (approximately 47.2 billion won). This is particularly attractive because Saudi Arabia offers tax-exempt benefits. currently,Son Heung-min earns £9.88 million (about 18.2 billion won) from Tottenham, but he also faces a 45% tax rate in the UK, amounting to 444 million pounds (about 8.2 billion won).
Tottenham is also anticipated to receive a satisfactory offer. The Saudi team intends to initiate negotiations with a £34 million transfer fee for Son Heung-min. Considering his age and the fact he has only one year left on his contract, a £34 million offer would be a significant deal for Tottenham.
According to Picha Hess, “Son heung-min began to seriously consider the annual salary proposal from saudi teams.” Hess added, “Tottenham is also considering the sale of Son Heung-min from a sports and financial viewpoint, and the transfer income earned when the sale of Son Heung-min will be used to strengthen the squad for the new season.”
If Son Heung-min decides to transfer this summer, he is expected to leave instantly after Tottenham’s Asian tour in early August. Tottenham is expected to sell Son Heung-min after the Asian tour to avoid potential contractual issues with the tour organizers. Tottenham is scheduled to play Arsenal in Hong Kong on July 31st and Newcastle United in Korea on August 3rd.
if Son Heung-min remains with Tottenham this summer, it will mark his 10th year with the club. He has been a key player since joining in 2015, making 454 appearances, scoring 173 goals, and providing 101 assists. He currently ranks 6th in club history for appearances and 5th for goals scored. Since 2023, he has served as the team’s captain.
