The specific amount of 'Love Call' directed at Son Heung-min (Tottenham) has been revealed.
British media Express reported on the 18th (Korea time) 'It is known that Saudi Arabian clubs have decided what amount they can pay to recruit Son Heung-min'
Son Heung-min is known as a 'Tottenham legend'. He joined Tottenham through a transfer window in the summer of 2015. He scored 173 goals in 454 games for Tottenham.

The Express said 'Tottenham should sign a contract that requires Son to play in the offseason game against Newcastle on August 4 in South Korea. Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy could approve a full transfer later in the summer transfer window. Clubs in Saudi Arabia are reportedly ready to bid for a third time. Saudi Arabia's teams also watched Son Heung-min in 2023 and 2024. Son Heung-min has made it clear that he wants to play for Tottenham. However, as he won the Europa League in 2024-2025 season, it could be a natural break-up moment.
Citing another media outlet, TalkSport, the media reported that `Saudi Arabia's teams are willing to pay a £34 million transfer fee to recruit Son Heung-min. It will also add a huge offer of £25.6 million a year, equivalent to £500,000 a week. Currently, the teams most interested in recruiting Son Heung-min are Al Ahli, Al Nasr, and Al Kadishya. It is known that all three teams are ready to inject huge amounts of money as Son Heung-min's transfer allows for a profitable copyright contract,' he added.
Tottenham, meanwhile, recently parted ways with Enze Postecoglou and appointed Frank. Danish coach Frank has been leading the team for seven years as an official coach since 2018 after serving as Brentford's head coach. He placed the team, which was 11th in the 2018-2019 Championship (second division), in third place in the 2020-2021 season. Playoffs brought the team to the EPL for the first time in 74 years. Brentford remained stable in the middle after promotion.
