Tottenham skipper Hugo Lloris looks set to turn down the opportunity to play in Saudi Arabia

According to the Athletic, Tottenham Hotspur captain Hugo Lloris looks set to turn down the opportunity to play in Saudi Arabia.

After an impressive eleven-year stint at Tottenham, it appears that Lloris is ready for a new challenge. In an interview with Nice-Matin earlier this month, the 36-year-old admitted that he desires something different, marking the end of an era for both himself and the club.

Despite expressing his ambitions for a fresh start, Hugo Lloris remains mindful of his contractual obligations, acknowledging that he still has one year remaining on his Tottenham deal. His stay at the club is not completely ruled out.

Speculation surrounding Lloris’ potential move to Saudi Arabia first surfaced a while ago when The Times reported that he had been presented with a deal that would triple his current weekly salary of £100,000.

Since then, speculation has continued to grow, and although Lloris’ agent confirmed the existence of several offers, he remained tight-lipped when questioned about the specific Saudi proposition, citing that nothing concrete had materialized yet.

However, it seems that the Tottenham shot-stopper is not alone in considering the financial allure of Saudi Arabia. Other high-profile players, including Ilkay Gundogan and Eden Hazard, are reportedly contemplating rejecting the riches offered to play in this Asian country.

Lloris’ potential move to Saudi Arabia would mark a significant departure from the Premier League and a new chapter in his illustrious career. The experienced goalkeeper has been a mainstay at Tottenham, demonstrating his leadership qualities both on and off the pitch.

The Frenchman’s departure would undoubtedly leave a void in Tottenham’s squad, as his experience and influence in the dressing room have been invaluable over the years. Lloris’ leadership qualities have been crucial in guiding the team through challenging times, inspiring his teammates to reach new heights.
