British media 'Cutoffside' reported on the 7th (Korea time) that the Saudi club is eyeing Tottenham ace (Son Heung-min), who scored 27 offensive points last season, at a cheap price.
Son Heung-min and Tottenham's contract is due in June 2025. When the contract is over, Tottenham has to send Son Heung-min without collecting a penny of the transfer fee. Tottenham Chairman Daniel Levy, who is famous for his business, is unlikely to miss Son Heung-min like this.
However, there is no news of the contract extension. Tottenham are said to have the power to extend Son's contract by one year. I didn't even activate this option. Give Me Sports reported in July that Tottenham will extend Son's contract by one year. This means he will stay at the North London club until 2026. His current contract expires in 2025. Tottenham are concerned that they have not yet announced an extension.
Saudi Arabia's interest continues in this situation.
Several Saudi clubs have been targeting Son Heung-min and Mohamed Salah (Liverpool) since last summer. Like Salado Son Heung-min, his contract with Liverpool ends in the summer of 2025.
However, it was recently reported that Liverpool is scheduled to start negotiations with Salah on renewing his contract. After Salah finished the Manchester United match "No one talked about re-signing better. It could be the last season" expressed dissatisfaction.
Then Liverpool seems to have started to move in a hurry.
Football Insider says 'Negotiations with Salah begin in a few weeks, according to sources. Salah's renewal is expected to mark a different turning point. Liverpool's focus was on stabilizing the new coaching staff. With the summer transfer window closed, Liverpool are now ready to start negotiations with Salah, he said.
Son's future remains uncertain.
The cutoff side added: "'Son Heung-min has played tremendously since he moved from Leverkusen to Tottenham in 2015. He has been rumored to be moving in recent months. The Saudi Arabian club wants to secure Son freely, he said.

Cutoffside 'Saudi Arabian clubs have succeeded in recruiting world-class players in recent years. They want to improve the league by recruiting more players. A player like Son Heung-min can definitely raise the league's status.
He then advised that `Tottenham should do its best to persuade Son to sign a new contract before the end of the season.'
Meanwhile, Son Heung-min did not make the recently announced 30 candidates for the 2024 Ballon d'Or.
The Ballon d'Or is the world's most prestigious football individual award organized by French Football. At last year's Ballon d'Or, Son Heung-min was ranked 11th and Kim Min-jae was ranked 22nd.
Son Heung-min and Kim Min-jae (Bayern Munich) as well as Lionel Messi (Inter Miami) and Cristiano Ronaldo (Alnasr) were excluded from this year's Ballon d'Or.
Messi won the Ballon d'Or eight times, the most ever. Ronaldo won five awards. It is the first time since 2003 that both Messi and Ronaldo have been excluded from the Ballon d'Or candidate. The two shared the Ballon d'Or five times each for 10 years from 2008 to 2017.
