Tottenham will need to offer Son a significant pay rise when he re-signs with the club.
Recently, there has been renewed interest from Saudi Arabian clubs in Son Heung-min. The interest has been ongoing since June last year. At the time, the player himself rejected the idea of moving to Saudi Arabia. He expressed his desire to continue playing in the English Premier League (EPL) and with Tottenham.
Al Ittihad prepared a staggering offer for Son, a four-year contract worth 30 million euros (approximately $43.3 billion) in salary alone, but it didn’t sway him. Tottenham will not be tempted by the Saudis to sell Son either.
‘The 31-year-old has been extensively linked with clubs in the Saudi Arabian Professional League ahead of the summer transfer window,’ Football Insider reported on July 27 (KST). Tottenham will not accept any offers for their captain despite his precarious contract situation,” the report said.
It continued: ”A senior source said Tottenham will sit down formally in the summer to discuss a new contract with Son Heung-min. It is understood Tottenham have already held informal discussions with Son to gauge his interest in signing a new contract.
‘Tottenham will not only have to meet the financial demands of Son, who currently earns £190,000 a week, but they will also have to come up with a more attractive offer than the Saudi club can offer,’ the UK’s CutOffside analyzed on July 27, following news that Spurs were preparing to re-sign Son.
‘Assuming Son is willing to commit his long-term future to the club, Tottenham will officially sit down with his representatives at the end of the season to discuss the terms of what could be another blockbuster signing,’ Germany One Football predicted.
At Tottenham, Son is the second highest paid player after Tanguy Ndombele. However, in the English Premier League (EPL) as a whole, he is only the 30th highest 카지노 paid active player. That’s a remarkably low position considering his stature in the EPL. Even Anthony Martial, who faces a lot of criticism at Manchester United, earns less per week.
No matter how important Son is to Tottenham, it’s unlikely that he’ll be able to match the terms of Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City), who is currently the highest paid player in the EPL, given the club’s current situation. Still, Son deserves at least a top-15 contract in the league. Currently, the top 15 players in the league earn around £250,000 ($422.4 million) per week.
Considering that Son has been an ace and captain for Tottenham, that Spurs have some wiggle room in their payroll after selling Harry Kane, Hugo Lloris, Eric Dier, Ivan Perisic, and others, and that Spurs are set to make a record profit in 2023, there are plenty of reasons to offer Son a good deal.
