Saudi oil money is tempting Son Heung-min (33, Tottenham).
The Sun reported on the 29th that "Tottenham is seriously considering selling Son to a Saudi league club this summer. Son wants to stay at Tottenham and has led them to a Europa League victory. However, selling Son on a massive scale could provide the funds to bring in new players capable of competing in the Champions League."
It is not recent news that top European players are moving to Saudi Arabia in their later years to earn a lot of money. Son's idol Cristiano Ronaldo is also playing for Al Nassr, earning an annual salary of 270 billion won.
If Son moves to Saudi Arabia, he could secure an astronomical salary. While it may not be as much as Ronaldo, he could receive several times the current weekly wage of 300 million won he earns at Tottenham.
Bruno Fernandes could become a benchmark for Son. BBC reported on the 31st that "Fernandes is seriously considering leaving Manchester United for Saudi Al Hilal."
If Fernandes transfers to Al Hilal, he is expected to earn about 1.3 billion won per week, which is more than four times Son's current weekly wage.
The Sun reported on the 31st that "Saudi elite team Al Hilal is targeting Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes (31). Al Hilal is willing to pay a transfer fee of 100 million pounds (approximately 182.6 billion won). Fernandes's weekly salary is 700,000 pounds (approximately 1.3 billion won)."
Fernandes has played for Manchester United since 2020 after leaving Sporting. He has scored 62 goals in 195 matches, serving as the captain of Manchester United.
