Saudi Giants Renew Interest in Son Heung-min

Saudi interest in Son Heung-min is nothing new, but with just one year remaining on his contract and Tottenham planning a squad overhaul, a summer transfer is becoming increasingly likely.

This situation puts Son at a pivotal crossroads in his career: remain loyal to Spurs or embrace a new challenge in the Middle East.

Top Saudi clubs most notably Al Ittihad and Al Nassr have expressed strong interest in signing the South Korean star. They view Son as a global icon capable of boosting the league’s profile while also capturing attention from the lucrative Asian market.

In 2023, Al Ittihad reportedly offered Son a four-year deal worth £25 million per year, which he turned down at the time to prioritize playing in the Premier League.

Tottenham activated a contract extension for Son until 2026 back in January. However, amid growing financial needs and squad restructuring plans, the club is now reportedly open to letting him go—if the right offer arrives.

Although Son previously rejected offers from Saudi Arabia, the current landscape is different. The financial package is more tempting than ever, and the opportunity to become a trailblazing Asian figure in the Saudi Pro League may be too compelling to ignore.
