Tottenham Hotspur forward Son Heung-min has reportedly been offered a whopping £51million to join Saudi Arabian champions Al-Ittihad.
In recent days, it has been apparent that an array of great names, including Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema, could be on their way to the Saudi Pro League.
According to reports, Al-Hilal are willing to smash the Saudi Arabian transfer record and pay £47m for Wolverhampton Wanderers player Ruben Neves.
Chelsea appear to have found homes for a number of their squad members, with Todd Boehly meeting with Saudi agents to explore offloading the likes of Edouard Mendy, Kalidou Koulibaly, Hakim Ziyech, and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, while N’Golo Kante is already on his way to Al-Ittihad.
Further of these moves are expected in the future, and it appears that Kante and Benzema could be joined at the league champions by another global talent.
According to ESPN, Al-Ittihad, led by Nuno Espirito Santo, are prepared to launch a long-term bid for Son in the coming weeks.
As per the report, there is a willingness to set a new transfer record after the anticipated Neves sale, with a bid of €60m (£51.31m) expected.
Son supposedly has the option to sign a contract for €30m (£25.66m) every season until 2027.

Spurs are reportedly opposed to selling the South Korea international, who has only two years left on his current deal at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
There is a possibility at Al-Ittihad that Son will be lured to move to the Middle East, effectively ending his eight-year stay in North London.
During that span, the 30-year-old has 145 goals and 80 assists in 372 games across all competitions, with 16 of those coming in a subpar Premier League campaign in 2022-23.
