He strengthens his team by selling legends. He would say such an idea doesn't make sense, but it seems realistic because it is Tottenham.
"Tottenham may sell Son Heung-min to raise transfer funds and reorganize its squad to advance to the UEFA Champions League," the British Telegraph reported on the 4th (Korea time). "The club will be in trouble because it is the last chance to earn transfer fees from the sale."
ESPN quoted talk sports reports on the 1st, saying, "Son Heung-min has emerged as a target for recruitment of many Saudi Arabian professional league teams," adding, "Saudi clubs expect Son to strengthen league competitiveness as well as become a stepping stone to develop new markets."
The Saudi professional league has already brought in top European stars such as Cristiano Ronaldo (Alnasr), showing off its international presence. This time, the Saudi Arabian team is aiming to expand its influence in the Asian market by embracing even Son Heung-min, Asia's top star. The Sun, a British media outlet, also reported on Monday that Saudi Arabian clubs are showing interest in recruiting Son. Tottenham may consider selling Son if a huge transfer fee is offered.
"He is a symbol of Korea. He is also a marketing resource suitable for targeting the East Asian market," sources in the Saudi soccer community said. Son also received Saudi Arabia's attention last summer. According to CBS Sports in the U.S., RT Hard offered a 65 million-dollar transfer fee and a 120 million-euro four-year salary contract for Son. However, he chose to stay in England, showing his commitment to win the title.
Son once expressed his position on the rumor that he will transfer to the Saudi league. "I remember (Ki) Sung-yong said in the past, 'The captain of the Korean national team will not go to the Chinese league,'" Son said after the 2023 A-Match with El Salvador. "There is more work to be done in the Premier League." What he mentioned was considered a victory. Back then, he had no experience in winning a trophy in his team. However, his situation is different after this season. Son finally won the Europa League title in the 2024-2025 season.
Son Heung-min, who turns 33 in July, has scored 11 goals and 12 assists in 46 official games this season. He only scored seven goals in 30 matches in the Premier League. He only scored in the single digits for the first time since joining the team in the 2015-2016 season. Regardless of his individual performance, however, Son achieved his first career win in the Europa League.
"Son Heung-min is still the mainstay of Tottenham, but his personal performance this season did not meet expectations," the Sun said, insisting that Tottenham should make every effort to prepare for the next season's Champions League with the money from selling him. Despite ranking 17th in the Premier League, Tottenham won the Champions League ticket for the next season as the winner of the Europa League. There is an opinion that Son Heung-min, who has done everything for Tottenham, can now transfer. Some say that the upcoming summer is the right time to say goodbye in the professional world where money is also important.
Son's contract with Tottenham was extended until June 2026 when the option to extend his contract by one year was activated in January. This summer could be the last opportunity for Tottenham to sell Son and collect a hefty transfer fee. There is also a winter transfer market, but if he does not sell it by next season, he should be released for free.
Al-Nasr, Al-Itihad, and Al-Hilal, who have Saudi sovereign wealth fund (PIF) on their backs, are known to want Son Heung-min. According to "The Sun" and ESPN, Tottenham is also reluctant to sell Son Heung-min, but they say they can accept it if a large offer comes in.
Whether Son will be sold or not is ultimately decided by Tottenham. As the player himself has already expressed affection for the team but has been constantly wavering, chances are high that it will lead to the sale regardless of Son's intention
"This summer's transfer window is the last chance for Tottenham to earn money from the sale of Son. Saudi clubs are showing great interest in Son Heung-min," the Telegraph newspaper said. "Tottenham may sell Son to raise money for the transfer. Chairman Daniel Levy is still agonizing over the decision." 먹튀검증
The media predicted, "Tottenham clearly had the worst performance in the league, but it set up a turning point with the Europa League final. On top of that, chairman Levi is agonizing over the future of coach Engie Postecoglou. Depending on the situation, it will affect the reorganization of the team in the future."
