According to the

As newspaper, 18-year-old Spanish U19 international George Salinas has recently become the focus, rejecting an attractive offer from a Saudi club.

The Saudi club is willing to pay George Salinas a 4 million euro termination fee and offer a contract that is 30 times higher than his current salary at Santander Athletic. Despite such generous conditions, Salinas decided to stay at Santander Athletic to continue his career.

According to player agent Jessus Merino, Salinas and his family had a brief hesitation after learning about the generous offer, but eventually they chose to give up Saudi invitation. Salinas believes that he is currently in the most suitable environment for development, and he hopes to help the team advance to La Liga and achieve a historic breakthrough.

"Salinas is now playing for his dream team, and his most concerned thing is how to help Santander Athletic advance to the top league," said Merino.

In addition, Salinas was included in the inspection list by the Spanish U21 national team, showing its huge development potential. As the main left-back of Santander Athletic, Salinas performed well on the court, especially in the air confrontation.

It is generally believed within Santander Athletic that the young player may transform into a central defender in the future. Last year, the club renewed its contract with Salinas until June 30, 2029, but the contract was based more on expectations of a youth training player at the time than on seeing him as a key figure in the first team.
