Son Heung-min's transfer rumors have been mentioned again.
Ben Jacobs, a journalist who is familiar with the European transfer market, mentioned the Saudi Arabian league's transfer rumors through British outlet GiveMeSports.
"Son Heung-min, Kevin De Bruyne, Mohamed Salah, and many others are on the Saudi Arabian league's transfer list for 2024. Casemiro is no different."
Casemiro left Real Madrid for Manchester United in August 2022. Since his arrival, he has shown stability and is a key part of the team's midfield. He was targeted by the Saudi Arabian league, which is keen on collecting superstars.
"United are in the middle of the season," Jacobs said. I think the Saudi Arabian league is more likely to make a move in the summer transfer window than in January," Jacobs said.
"You're not going to see the picture of the Saudi league making big signings in the summer in January. You will find the big names in the summer. There is a desire to see how the European leagues perform, but the quota is full or almost full."
The Saudi league is a popular destination for superstars to finish their careers. The level of play is better than ever and the paychecks are huge.
The lure is so strong that even players who are not in the twilight of their careers and are still competitive in Europe are joining the league.
Clubs in the Saudi Arabian league have rolled up their sleeves to sign superstars and build a super-luxury army.

The English Premier League (EPL) also fell victim to Saudi oil money.
N'Golo Kante, Kalidou Koulibaly, Edouard Mendy, Roberto Firmino, Leo Neves, Fabinho, Jordan Henderson, Riyad Mahrez, and many others have left the EPL and fallen prey to the lure of oil money.
Son Heung-min has also attracted interest from the Saudi Arabian league.
Al Ittihad also expressed interest in Son. They reportedly prepared a four-year contract with a transfer fee of €60 million and an annual salary of €30 million.
However, Son has ruled out a move to Saudi Arabia and is determined to stay in the EPL.
"I'm not ready to go to the Saudi Arabian league yet. I like the EPL. I still have a lot of work to do," he said, denying the transfer rumors.
"I once heard (Ki) Sung-yong say that he wouldn't go to China as a national team captain. It's better to play in your favorite league than for money," he said.
"The Saudi Arabian league still hasn't gotten over Son Heung-min," the British outlet Talk Sport reported, noting that they will continue to send him offers.
Salah, who was the top scorer in the 2021/22 season alongside Son, is being courted by Saudi Arabian league side Al Ittihad.
Al Ahly dangled their hand in front of Salah's face this summer, promising to give him the best possible treatment.
The Reds' bid for Salah fell through over Liverpool's objections, but they're not giving up. They plan to try again next winter.
Liverpool are also reportedly looking at replacements such as Victor Osimhen in case Salah leaves.
