Mercato: Saudi Arabia also wants Hugo Lloris
At the end of his contract at Tottenham in June 2024, Hugo Lloris has received a very lucrative offer from Saudi Arabia according to the English press.
Like Lionel Messi, Sergio Busquets, Sergio Ramos and Marco Verratti, Saudi Arabia has its eye on Hugo Lloris. According to the Times, the 36-year-old French goalkeeper has received a golden bridge from a Saudi club whose name has not been disclosed. While his contract expires in 2024 at Tottenham, where he has played for 11 years, Lloris would be offered three times his London salary.

Currently, Hugo Lloris earns about 6 million euros per year at Spurs and Saudi Arabia would therefore offer him about 18 million euros per year. According to the Times, Lloris has not yet decided and has other leads, although none as lucrative as the one from Saudi Arabia. Lloris is scheduled to meet with his chairman Daniel Levy soon and his future will probably depend on the identity of the future London coach.
In any case, it has been said for several weeks in the English press that Tottenham is in search of a new number one goalkeeper for next season, the performances of Lloris and his numerous injuries this season pushing the London leaders to prepare his succession.
