British media 'Football London' reported on the 8th (Korea time) that Son Heung-min's renewal was positive, but there was no progress.
Football London Tottenham correspondent Alessdare Gold wrote an article in the form of answering fans' questions.
One fan asked 'Do you think Sonny will soon get an offer to extend his contract?'
Gold hopes so. Tottenham are well aware of how much Son Heung-min means. He's in his 30s, but he's still a great player and the biggest star player in the club. And Son Heung-min is enjoying his role as captain.
Subsequently 'Club has a one-year extension option. I have secured insurance. However, this deal is only done if both sides want it to be done,' he added.
Son Heung-min and Tottenham's contract is due in June 2025. He entered the final season of his contract. Tottenham have a one-year extension option. This option can be invoked under agreement with Son Heung-min.
Reporter Gold's explanation can be interpreted as if either side is not active in implementing the option.
It could be Tottenham or Son Heung-min's side.
Tottenham can watch Son Heung-min, who is now in his mid-30s. It is not too late to judge based on this season's performance. Son Heung-min may want to transfer.
Son Heung-min was also rumored to be transferred to Saudi Arabia.
British media 'Cutoffside' reported on the 7th (Korea time) that the Saudi club is eyeing Tottenham ace (Son Heung-min), who scored 27 offensive points last season, at a cheap price.
Son Heung-min and Tottenham's contract is due in June 2025. When the contract is over, Tottenham has to send Son Heung-min without collecting a penny of the transfer fee. Tottenham Chairman Daniel Levy, who is famous for his business, is unlikely to miss Son Heung-min like this.
However, there is no news of the contract extension. Tottenham are said to have the power to extend Son's contract by one year. I didn't even activate this option. Give Me Sports reported in July that Tottenham will extend Son's contract by one year. This means he will stay at the North London club until 2026. His current contract expires in 2025. Tottenham are concerned that they have not yet announced an extension.

Son's future remains uncertain.
The cutoff side added: "'Son Heung-min has played tremendously since he moved from Leverkusen to Tottenham in 2015. He has been rumored to be moving in recent months. The Saudi Arabian club wants to secure Son freely, he said.
The cutoff side was 'Son Heung-min scored 17 goals last season. He also recorded 10 assists. He could be a huge recruit for most clubs in Saudi Arabia. It is interesting to see if Tottenham will offer Son a contract extension in the coming months. Son Heung-min is an indispensable asset for Tottenham. Losing him would be a big blow,' he diagnosed.
Cutoffside 'Saudi Arabian clubs have succeeded in recruiting world-class players in recent years. They want to improve the league by recruiting more players. A player like Son Heung-min can definitely raise the league's status.
He then advised that `Tottenham should do its best to persuade Son to sign a new contract before the end of the season.'
