Tottenham has no intention of allowing Son Heung-min to move to Saudi Arabia easily.

Reporter George Sessions, familiar with Tottenham's news, reported on the 5th (Korea time) 'Tottenham will send captain Son Heung-min only for a high transfer fee'

Sessions said 'According to the news, Tottenham will only listen to a significant offer for Son Heung-min despite the Saudi league's increased interest this summer. Tottenham will have to pay a substantial fee to allow Son to transfer. Tottenham will visit South Korea in the pre-season this summer, the third time in four years that Son will visit his home country to prepare for the new season. Son's global status provides enormous commercial value, he said.

Son Heung-min's recent transfer to Saudi Arabia continues to emerge. Tottenham Hotspur News reported on the 1st that `Son Heung-min may have played his last game for Tottenham. Chairman Daniel Levy said Son is preparing to transfer to the club, adding, `Tottenham is considering alternative resources for Son. If Leroy Sane comes, he will take Son's place, and Jack Grealish is also known as a candidate for recruitment. Tottenham Hotspur News reported, `Son Heung-min is considered the ideal replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo. Alnasr wants to replace Ronaldo with Son Heung-min. Son Heung-min also explained that he is likely to leave the team because he is in his last year with Tottenham.

The British Telegraph said Son Heung-min could be a player who would earn a large transfer fee from the club to raise money for the transfer, adding, `Tottenham can collect the transfer fee through Son Heung-min. There is now one year left on the contract. Saudi Arabian clubs have been paying attention to Son Heung-min, who has a big fan base in Asia, for a long time.

Global sports media ESPN also reported that Son Heung-min of Tottenham is a target for Saudi Arabian League teams. Saudi Arabia's summer transfer window is set to open on July 20, and Son Heung-min is likely one of the players to be offered a deal in the Middle East,' he said, also referring to the expected timing of the offer. Son Heung-min also said he is considering it. "Tottenham is reluctant to let Son go," ESPN said. However, Son Heung-min is likely to receive much more offers than Tottenham's annual salary, so he is expected to struggle. We have to make a difficult decision"I rated it.

This is not the first time Saudi Arabia is interested in Son Heung-min. Son Heung-min had this news just before the Europa League final. At that time, Britain's TBR Football also said, `Son Heung-min is likely to remain at Tottenham in the next season, but his future could vary greatly depending on the next coach.' There were not many rumors of a transfer as Son Heung-min is still likely to remain at Tottenham. However, it can vary depending on who becomes the coach. Saudi Arabian teams are in contact with Son's close aides to recruit Son. Son Heung-min may leave, but he may stay. It is not yet confirmed.

Since the summer of 2023, he has steadily wanted to recruit Son Heung-min. British media reported 'Saudi clubs have been watching Son Heung-min since last summer. Son has been rumored to be a transfer in recent months, and as his contract with Tottenham expires in 2025, Saudi clubs hope to sign him through a free transfer. It will be interesting to see if Tottenham extend his contract with him' he once expressed Saudi interest.

So far, Son Heung-min has clearly expressed his negative view on the Saudi transfer. CBS Sports reporter Ben Jacobs said about Son's proposal last summer that Son Heung-min received a total annual salary of more than 188 billion euros, saying, `He was offered a contract with an annual salary of 30 million euros (about 43.3 billion won) every season for four years by the Saudi Arabian League RT Hard.' Son Heung-min reportedly refused and stayed at Tottenham.




Son Heung-min also said in a direct interview, `If I wanted to go to Saudi Arabia, I wouldn't be here. I like to play soccer. Money is important, but it is my dream to play in the Premier League. It's really interesting that a lot of people are going there. But the Premier League is still a dream for me, and I'm looking forward to this season."

However, this summer is a time when Son Heung-min can also be worried. A long-term contract renewal with Tottenham has not been signed, and the contract expires in the summer of 2026. If you achieve most of what you can achieve at Tottenham, the choice to leave for Saudi Arabia for a huge salary is not unreasonable. With this Europa League victory, he has even filled a single puzzle that he lacked in his career.

Tottenham's decision is expected to vary depending on the next coach. With Enze Postecoglou likely to leave after this season, current captain Son Heung-min's future could depend on how the next coach wants to form a squad after taking office. If the next coach excludes Son Heung-min, he may be more active in Saudi Arabia's interest in recruiting Son Heung-min.

Considering Son Heung-min's achievements and evaluations at Tottenham, it is also considered the best legend of the club. Son Heung-min has played more than 400 Tottenham games, and he is ranked high in the all-time ranking with 173 Tottenham goals. He also had a huge record in Tottenham's career help ranking alone, surpassing Christian Eriksen.

In this situation, there is a prospect that Tottenham will not send Son Heung-min easily, and depending on Saudi Arabia's attitude, Son Heung-min's future will be a big difference. There were also European teams that reportedly wanted Saudi Arabia to sign again next summer if Tottenham did not seek a long-term renewal with Son Heung-min. Starting with Barcelona in Spain, Manchester United and Bayern Munich have also been mentioned.

It is unclear whether Tottenham is positive for a long-term renewal. Tottenham only activated a one-year extension option instead of renewing the contract in the transfer market last winter. Football London of the United Kingdom also said, "'Tottenham should offer Son an extension contract that does not exceed three years. Ultimately, a cruel decision must be made, and a decision related to Son Heung-min will be made in a few years.' Tottenham also insisted on the possibility of separation, saying Son Heung-min should make a number of other cruel decisions that will help the team instead of signing an excessive long-term contract.

Tottenham has taken a firm stance on Saudi Arabia's interest. Attention is also focusing on what decision Saudi Arabia and Son Heung-min will make.
