Al Ittihad are ready to move for Tottenham Hotspur striker Son Heung-Min with an opening offer in the region of 60 million euros ($65 million) plus bonuses, a source involved in the negotiations has told ESPN.
Saudi Arabia’s top clubs are interested in a number of Premier League stars this summer and Son is the latest high-profile name to be approached for a move.

According to the source, Son has been offered a four-year deal worth €30m per season. There is some optimism at the Saudi Pro League side that the 30-year-old could be tempted to join Al Ittihad, who are close to agreeing a deal to sign Chelsea midfielder N’Golo Kante and already the former Real Madrid have signed talisman Karim Benzema.
However, they face a difficult task seeking a deal as sources have told ESPN Spurs would have no interest in listening to an offer if a formal offer is made as expected. Son’s reps did not immediately respond when contacted by ESPN.
Son’s current Tottenham contract expires in 2025 and he remains a hugely important player for the club, having scored 145 goals in 371 games since joining from Bayer Leverkusen in the summer of 2015.
New manager Ange Postecoglou is already struggling to keep striker Harry Kane at the club as Real Madrid, Manchester United and reportedly also Paris Saint-Germain show interest.
