Hishalisson Rejects Saudi Arabia Offer

Hishalisson reportedly rejected Saudi Arabia's astronomical offer.

Fabrizio Romano, a reporter familiar with the news of the European football transfer market, said on his social media account on the 8th, "Hishalisson rejected Saudi Arabia's bid."

He also shared his interview with ESPN Brazil. Here, he said, "I had an offer from Saudi Arabia. However, my dream is more important than money to play for the Brazilian national team and in the English Premier League. I had a big offer, but my dream was bigger," before denying rumors of a transfer.

Rumors of a transfer of Hishalisson were Tottenham's biggest issue this week. On the 7th, Gary Jacob, a reporter for the British media The Times, reported, "Tottenham will break the club's all-time record if it meets Dominic Solanke's £65 million release clause. The deal will be used to raise funds if Al Ahli moves to Saudi Arabia as he shows interest in Brazilian striker Hishalisson."

"He is expected to move to Saudi Arabia's professional league. He seems to have recently changed his mind on moving overseas," he said.

Since then, a number of European media outlets have reported that Hishalisson has received serious attention from Saudi Arabia and could leave the team. However, Hishalisson dismissed it himself and confirmed his determination to stay on the PL stage for the upcoming season.

The news spread in no time. Since then, Tottenham fans have joked that Son Heung-min, who is playing at the top level, has inherited his dream despite being offered an amount of money by Saudi Arabia over the past few years.

Hisalisson left Everton for Tottenham in the summer of 2022 for a huge £50 million (W87.6 billion) transfer fee. He suffered ups and downs in his first season, failing to meet Tottenham's extraordinary expectations.

He had three goals and four assists in 35 official matches, of which he had only one goal in a PL. Fortunately, He made a comeback the following year. He had 11 goals and four assists in 28 matches in a PL last season. Son Heung-min, who had 17 goals and 10 assists in 35 matches, was not the kind of performance that Son displayed, but it was enough to ease the burden caused by his poor performance last year.

However, some criticized Tottenham for not being able to reach a higher goal if Hishalisson is the main striker. Perhaps because of this, Tottenham has also recently been connected with new strikers such as Solanke, Jonathan David, and Victor Jockeres. 홀짝게임
