Bayer Leverkusen want to sign Tottenham forward Son Heung-min

Tottenham Hotspur star Son Heung-min is receiving huge transfer interest from several clubs this summer. 

According to Ben Jacobs, Bayer Leverkusen have internally discussed a return for the 32-year-old back in May, but haven’t made an official approach yet. 

Son spent two seasons at Leverkusen after joining the club in 2013 for a record transfer fee, scoring 29 goals in 87 total appearances. 

They are now eyeing a reunion with the experienced forward but may not be ready to fork out a huge sum given their need to strengthen other priority positions.  

Saudi Pro League sides Al Ahli, Al Nassr and Al Qadsiah have also expressed interest in Son, with the trio reportedly ready to pay €40 million for a transfer. 

They are prepared to offer a salary around €30m-per-season, but it remains to be seen whether the South Korean would be ready to leave the Premier League to play in Saudi Arabia. 

Tottenham triggered the option to extend Son’s contract until June 2026, but that was for protecting his market value rather than a definitive move to rule out a summer exit. 

The talented winger has been a consistent performer for Spurs since joining the club in 2015. 

He has registered 173 goals and 101 assists in 454 appearances across all competitions. 

The South Korea international also played a significant role in helping his team win the 2024-25 Europa League title, providing four goal contributions in 10 games.
