Saudi Arabia is targeting Premier League stars, including Son Heung-min.
“Mohamed Salah and Kevin De Bruyne are on Saudi Arabia’s wish list,” the UK’s 90min reported on Monday. After signing several stars last summer, Saudi Arabia is looking to do it again. Salah and De Bruyne are two players at the top of several teams’ wish lists.”
“The general consensus was that Salah would go to Saudi Arabia at some point. I don’t think he will leave Liverpool just yet, but he is approaching the final year of his contract and there is a lot of interest. The Brazilian has been courted by Pep Guardiola.” In a recent interview, Guardiola said, “I don’t know if there is an offer for him, but I would like to continue with him.”
Saudi Arabia’s greed knows no bounds The upcoming summer transfer window will also shake up the European transfer market. Neymar, Karim Benzema, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, N’Golo Kante, Fabinho, and others have left. Many stars have left, but they also want new ones.
Son Heung-min is also a target. On July 22, the British Football Transfers reported, “Saudi Arabia’s Al Ittihad want to sign Son Heung-min and Salah. They will focus on signing Son Heung-min in the upcoming summer transfer window and aim to sign him alongside Salah. They want to replace Homariu and prepare for the departure of Benzema, who is likely to leave. He can form a good partnership with Abdelazak Hamdallah,” he said.
“Son Heung-min is the centerpiece of Tottenham’s defense and expressed his desire to stay last summer. However, if Spurs fail to qualify for the UEFA Champions League (UCL) this season, he could rethink his future. Son’s contract with Tottenham ends in 2025.” Once again, Al Ittihad are approaching. With Benzema’s decision to return to Europe likely to leave a void, the club is in the market for a new star, and Son has been targeted.
The British ‘TBR’ also reported on the 22nd that “Al-Ittihad want to sign Son Heung-min and Salah ahead of the summer transfer window. Having previously tried to sign 안전놀이터 Hicharisson in September, they ran out of time to finalize the deal and will approach again in the summer, but not for Hicharisson this time. A double signing of Son Heung-min and Salah is their dream,” the report said.
“Al Ittihad are ready to splash the cash on two big strikers. Son is out of contract in the summer of 2025, and Tottenham may have to consider a big offer if it comes in. He has just one year left on his contract, so this summer will be their last chance to cash in.”
It seems unlikely that Son will go to Saudi Arabia. Instead, he’s likely to sign a new contract with Tottenham. Other clubs are likely thinking the same thing. Liverpool will want to re-sign Salah and Man City will want to re-sign De Bruyne. It will be interesting to see in the summer if the Premier League stars can resist the lure of Saudi Arabia.
In addition to Salah, De Bruyne, and Son Heung-min, the Saudis are also said to want Luka Modric, Raphael Varane, Romelu Lukaku, Casemiro, Thomas Partey, Bruno Fernandes, and Thiago Alcantara.
