Recognizing that Son Heung-min (32, Tottenham) is an ideal target, Saudi Arabian clubs are reportedly eyeing up the signing of Hicharisson (27, Tottenham).
“The Saudi league is renewing its pursuit of Premier League (PL) stars, including Hicharisson,” the Telegraph reported on Friday (June 15).
Since last year, Saudi Arabia has been pouring oil money into its soccer leagues to recruit global stars. From Cristiano Ronaldo to Karim Benzema, Sadio Mane, N’Golo Kante, Neymar, and Neymar, the kingdom has assembled a roster of world-class players. They’ve also brought in younger players. He brought in Leo Neves and Sergei Milinkovic-Savic.
But the Saudis weren’t satisfied and wanted to attract even more stars. Four teams backed by the Saudi sovereign wealth fund (PIF) – Al Ahli, Al Ittihad, Al Hilal, and Al Nasr – have been active.
Son Heung-min’s name has also been popping up. Last year, 안전놀이터 Al Ittihad tried to sign the South Korean, and they had a huge plan to sign him and Salah at the same time, along with Benzema.
The amount of money they prepared for the signing was huge.
According to CBS Sports in the United States, Al-Ittihad had set a price tag of €60 million in transfer fees and €30 million in salary for the player. Had the deal gone through, Son would have earned €120 million over four years. That would have been almost three times his Tottenham salary.
But Son had no intention of leaving Tottenham. Tottenham had to sell Harry Kane to Bayern Munich, so they couldn’t afford to lose him.
Son also wanted to stay at Tottenham over money. He wanted to choose honor. “The captain of the South Korean national team doesn’t go to China,” he said in June last year, “I love soccer. Money is important, but it’s a dream to play in the Premier League,” he said last June.
Son is currently in talks with Tottenham to renew his contract. “His contract expires in 2025, but it is understood that he has been in talks with the club since last summer,” the British ‘HITC’ recently reported.
Tottenham’s desire to keep hold of Son also has implications for Saudi Arabia’s next signing attempt.
The Saudis appear to have shifted their focus to signing Hicharisson.
According to The Telegraph, the Saudis’ next target is not Heung-min, but rather Hicharisson. “Saudi clubs are expected to make offers for the player in the coming summer,” the publication reported.
This is not the first time Saudi interest in Hicharisson, who was also linked with a move to Saudi Arabia last summer and in January.
According to The Telegraph, Al-Ittihad were keen to pursue Salah after failing to sign him last summer. However, they failed to send a formal offer. This is because Tottenham had no intention of selling him.
Since staying at Tottenham, 온라인카지노사이트 he has scored 10 goals and provided three assists in the league this season, which is an improvement on last season.
However, this time around, Al Ittihad aren’t the only club chasing him, so his transfer speculation is getting more attention. According to The Telegraph, Tottenham could be tempted to sell the player if they receive a high bid.
