Will Tottenham’s Son Get a Mega Offer After Man Utd Captain's Saudi Snub?

Tottenham captain Son Heung-min (33) is once again linked with Saudi Arabia’s Al Hilal, a club known for its substantial financial resources.

On the 8th (local time), Journalist Santi Ana reported in an article that Al Hilal is interested in signing Sporting striker Viktor Jockers, according to French media outlet 'Foot Mercato'.

Auna stated that Al-Hilal, a prominent figure in the Saudi professional league known for high-profile signings, intends to bring in multiple forwards this summer to bolster their attack. 'Yokeres enjoys significant popularity among the team,' he continued. Although Sporting has established a release clause of 100 million euros for Yokeres, Al-Hilal possesses the financial resources necessary to meet this valuation.

"Al Hilal's management team reached out to Victor Osimhen from Napoli, Darwin Núñez, Luis Díaz from Liverpool, Jadon Sancho at Manchester United, and Son Heung-min. The club made a substantial proposal to Osimhen, which he declined," he further stated.

It isn’t the first instance where Son Heung-min has been connected to a Saudi Arabian professional team. As recently as June 2023, ESPN revealed that Saudi side RT Harth offered him a four-year deal valued at 60 million euros (approximately 83.8 billion won), along with an annual salary of 30 million euros (around 42 billion won) aimed at securing his services.

Following a home friendly against El Salvador during the same period, Son mentioned there are numerous tasks ahead in the English Premier League. Similar to how Sung-yong proceeded, the national team leader isn’t swayed by financial incentives. He stated, "Money is no longer important to me; what matters is playing in my preferred league," thus declaring his intention not to head to the Middle East right away.

However, significant changes have occurred over the past two years. Despite dispelling numerous transfer speculations and exercising his contract extension option until June 2026, Son Heung-min managed to score just seven goals during the 2024-2025 season in the English Premier League—a figure representing his lowest tally in nine years. The athlete faced setbacks due to groin and foot injuries, which were seen as contributing factors to both his diminished individual performances and reduced impact within the squad. This period saw Tottenham slip to their worst-ever league position of 17th. Conversely, securing victory in the UEFA Europa League marked a notable achievement for him, completing an essential part of his professional legacy.

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.

In the meantime, Al Hilal, which has brought aboard ex-Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi, is attempting to secure Manchester City’s Bernardo Silva following their unsuccessful pursuit of Bruno Fernandes. When joining the Portugal national team, Fernandes made it clear that he was staying with Manchester United.
