'Tottenham Captain' Son Heung-min (33) is again connected to Saudi Arabia's Al Hilal, who put oil money at the forefront.

Journalist Santi Ana mentioned Son Heung-min in an article on the 8th (local time) that Al Hilal is seeking to recruit Sporting Striker Viktor Jockeres through French media 'Foot Mercato'.

"Al-Hilal, a Saudi professional league mogul who is accustomed to a big recruit, plans to recruit several strikers to strengthen his offensive this summer," said Auna. "Jokeres is very popular within the club. Sporting has set the buyout clause for Yokeres at 100 million euros, but Al Hilal has the money to match the amount "




"Victor Osimhen (Napoli), Darwin Núñez, Luis Díaz (Liverpool), Jadon Sancho (Manchester United) and Son Heung-min are players contacted by Al Hilal's management team." Osimhen rejected Al Hilal's big offer," he added.

This is not the first time Son Heung-min has had a link with a Saudi professional league club. Just two years ago, in June 2023, the sports broadcaster 『ESPN" reported that Saudi RT Hard proposed a four-year contract worth 60 million euros (about 83.8 billion won) and an annual salary of 30 million euros (about 42 billion won) to recruit Son Heung-min.

After a domestic warm-up match against El Salvador in the same month, Son said there are many things to do in the English Premier League. (Ki) Just like Sung-yong did, the national team captain doesn't move looking at the money. Money doesn't matter in my life now. I want to play in my favorite league" and declared that he would not go to the Middle East immediately.

But there has been a lot of change in two years. Son Heung-min, who shook off many transfer rumors and invoked the extension option until June 2026, scored only seven goals, the lowest in nine years in the English Premier League in the 2024-2025 season. He suffered groin and foot injuries.It was evaluated that the overall performance and contribution within the team fell. Tottenham's league ranking was 17th, the lowest ever. By winning the European Europa League, he also matched his career 'last piece'.

Son Heung-min enters the final year of his existing contract next season, but there is no sign of renewing his contract yet. Former coach Engie Postecoglou, who gave Son Heung-min full trust enough to fill the captain's armband, has also been replaced as of the 8th. Given the age of 34 next year, the possibility of making a different decision than two years ago is open.

Meanwhile, Al Hilal, who signed former Inter Milan manager Simone Inzaghi, is making efforts to sign Manchester City's Bernardou Silva after failing to sign Bruno Fernandes. Fernandes publicly announced his stay at Manchester United when he joined Portugal.
