If you can handle big money, you should sell Son Heung-min (33, Tottenham).
The trend has solidified. On the 17th, British Talksport reported that 'Saudi Pro League clubs Al Ahli, Al Nassr, and Al Qadisiyah are competing to sign Son Heung-min this summer. The three clubs are prepared to pay 40 million euros (about 63.3 billion won) for his transfer.'
Football London asked fans through an internal survey whether Son Heung-min should be sold to Saudi Arabia. The results were shocking. An overwhelming 57% agreed that Tottenham should sell Son Heung-min to Saudi Arabia.
Only 21% thought Son Heung-min should remain. The remaining 22% were neutral, stating it depends on the transfer conditions. Compared to the past, opinions suggest that Son Heung-min's skills have declined, and selling him to Saudi Arabia for profit is now the better option.
So, what is the appropriate price for selling Son Heung-min? In the survey, £50-60 million (about 94.5-112.2 billion won) was the top choice with 34%. Below £50 million (about 94.5 billion won) came in second with 33%. Ultimately, 67% believe that a price below £60 million (about 112.2 billion won) is appropriate.
£60-75 million (about 112.2-130.8 billion won) came in third place with 12%. There seems to be a belief that Saudi Arabia would not pay this amount.
There are reports that Daniel Levy, the chairman of Tottenham, demanded as much as €100 million (about 159.2 billion won) for Son Heung-min's value. However, it seems difficult to actually receive that money. £75-90 million (about 140.2-168.2 billion won) only received 6%. Opinions that Son Heung-min's value should exceed £100 million (about 186.9 billion won) were only 2%.
There was also an opinion that Son Heung-min's value cannot be measured by price, which accounted for 10%. This sentiment likely comes from loyal Tottenham supporters who oppose selling Son Heung-min altogether.
If Son Heung-min transfers to the Saudi league, he could earn an annual salary of €30 million (about 47.5 billion won), allowing him to handle the most significant money. While he would have to give up playing in a top European league, he could earn corresponding money.
Al Nassr has reached an agreement to pay Cristiano Ronaldo €200 million (about 318.8 billion won) in salary until 2027. If Al Nassr is determined, they could also bring Son Heung-min on board.
