Although Son Heung-min finished the 2024/25 season stumbling with a nagging foot injury that more than halved his production from the first half of the campaign, he is still the man of the moment for Tottenham Hotspur.
Even before the historic Europa League title triumph, Son had already established himself as one of the greatest legends in Tottenham history, and he then definitively surpassed current Bayern Munich star striker Harry Kane as the best contemporary Spur by captaining the side to their first Europa League title in 41 years, having once led a sans-Kane Tottenham to the Champions League Final six years prior.
But Son faces a difficult decision this summer. He can leave Tottenham on a high with one year left on his contract as a Europa League champion with no risk of staining his legacy with Spurs by turning in a disappointing 2025/26 campaign as a 33-year-old.
Son Heung-min has major interest from Saudi Arabia
He could also stay with Tottenham, captaining their return to the Champions League and showing that he still has plenty left in the tank. Even in a down year with injuries, Son still tied James Maddison for the Tottenham team lead in Premier League goal contributions.
Whatever Son decides, Tottenham apparently aren't going to force him out of the door. Per a report from talkSPORT's Ben Jacobs, three Saudi Pro League sides are interested in spending upwards of 40 million euros on Son while giving the South Korean superstar at least 30 million euros in wages to entice him to be one of the next mainstream faces of a league that includes Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo.
In the report, Jacobs writes that Tottenham won't try to sway Son's opinion and cash in on him. Out of respect to their captain and greatest legend, Daniel Levy and Spurs are going to let the player decide instead of selling him to the highest bidder, no matter how lucrative a Saudi Pro League or Turkish Super Lig offer may be.
Son will certainly have his options to choose from when it comes to enticing wage offers from abroad, but there is something special about him staying at Tottenham and retiring there. Spurs fans should be cynical about how Levy will react to a big enough offer for Son, but if the bids are indeed around 30-50 million euros, there's no point in Tottenham selling more pieces of their souls to jettison a club legend who could still be important to their building efforts in 2025/26 under Thomas Frank.
