In an interview with sports broadcaster 'ESPN' on the 8th (Korea time), Hishalisson made it clear that he had received a large offer from Saudi Arabia, but would not leave.
Hishalisson "There was a suggestion in Saudi Arabia. However, my dream is to play in the Brazilian national team and the English Premier League," he said, confessing that he has rejected the temptation of oil money. The club that is interested in recruiting Hishalisson is known as Al Ahli.
In July 2022, Hishalisson, who moved to Tottenham from Everton and is in his third season, said "It was a big deal, but my dream is bigger " and that he would not leave the team under the influence of money right now.
Earlier, the British newspaper `The Times" reported that Tottenham would finance the recruitment of English national striker Dominic Solanke (Bournemouth) with Hishalisson's transfer to Saudi Arabia.

Hishalisson has been criticized for failing to pay £60m due to frequent injuries and ups and downs in the past two seasons. He scored one EPL goal in the first season, 11 EPL goals in the second season, and only 12 goals in 55 games. Tottenham captain Son Heung-min has scored 27 goals in 71 games in the past two seasons.
Hishalisson participated in Tottenham's pre-season tour of Japan and South Korea, but did not play a single match in the friendly.
Tottenham's specific plans are unknown, but it is hard to deny that the interview has increased the likelihood of staying.
