Acquiring Son Heung-min (33, Tottenham) can yield a substantial revenue.

This is why Saudi league teams are targeting Son Heung-min. They can expect revenue proportional to their investment, as well as the performance.

British outlet Talksport reported on the 17th that "Al Ahli, Al Nassr, and Al Qadisiya of the Saudi Professional Football League are competing to acquire Son Heung-min this summer. The three clubs are prepared to pay 40 million euros (approximately 63.3 billion won) for the acquisition of Son Heung-min."

If Son Heung-min transfers to the Saudi league, he will receive an annual salary of 30 million euros (approximately 47.5 billion won), resulting in significant financial gains. While he would have to give up playing in Europe's top leagues, he would earn money that befits that.

The Saudi league certainly won't incur losses either. They can gain even more through Son Heung-min's marketing. This media outlet explained, "Saudi Arabia sees acquiring Son Heung-min as important. If Son agrees to the transfer, the Saudi clubs can enter into a lucrative broadcasting rights contract with Korean broadcasters. They can achieve immediate investment returns."

Even if a generous salary is offered to Son Heung-min, it is said that it can be sufficiently offset by the revenue earned in the Korean market. In fact, the Premier League has generated substantial revenue from broadcasting games featuring Son Heung-min and other Korean players. Son Heung-min has consistently ranked first in jersey sales at Tottenham for several years.

Two years ago, Son Heung-min stated that "the captain of the Korean national team does not go to Saudi Arabia," dismissing the possibility of a move to Saudi Arabia. However, he is currently not strongly denying the rumors of a transfer to Saudi Arabia and is keeping the possibility open.

Of course, there are various options besides the Saudi league. Talksport reported that "Son Heung-min has also shown interest in the MLS in the United States and in Turkey. His former team Bayer Leverkusen discussed internally the possibility of Son's return last May."

Fenerbahçe, managed by Jose Mourinho, is also consistently making overtures to Son Heung-min. It is reported that Fenerbahçe has offered Son an annual salary of 23 million euros (approximately 36.3 billion won). While this is less than he would earn in the Saudi league, it is significantly more than what he is currently receiving from Tottenham.

A move to Turkey would allow Son Heung-min to reunite with manager Mourinho and continue playing in Europe.
