Will Son Heung-min offer the highest condition for Tottenham's urgent renewal of contract

In particular, Tottenham's club, which did not properly undervalue Son Heung-min and did 'legend treatment', seems to be in the corner. This is because Son Heung-min, who is so loyal to the team, is not enough to give him a low weekly salary compared to his reputation, so there is a rush of karma that he did not sign on time. A club actively aiming for Son Heung-min appeared.
The situation surrounding Son Heung-min is changing rapidly as the British cutoff side received the initial report from the Spanish media Pichahes. Cutoffside said on the 12th (Korea time) 'Tottenham captain Son Heung-min's contract expires in 2025, and Atletico Madrid is watching him' According to reports, AT Madrid and Son Heung-min's agent held informal negotiations.
Of course, this does not mean Son Heung-min will go to AT Madrid right away. In order for specific transfer negotiations to take place, the transfer market must open at least early next year. At this point, however, it is very important that AT Madrid has expressed interest in Son Heung-min early on and is actively moving.

Originally, Son Heung-min was embroiled in rumors of a transfer a year ago. However, it was the Saudi Arabian club that showed interest in Son Heung-min at the time. This was a direction that Son Heung-min himself did not want. Son Heung-min is also loyal to Tottenham, but he also has strong self-esteem as the captain of the Korean national team. He has repeatedly expressed his will to leave for the Saudi Arabian club.
Tottenham was relieved by Son Heung-min's appearance. However, he did not compensate Son Heung-min properly for his consideration and loyalty. Originally, Son Heung-min's contract will end after this season. Prior to the opening of the season, various media and experts in the UK expected Tottenham to give Son a legendary treatment by offering a long-term contract. There were also opinions that a long-term contract of at least three to four years was reasonable.

This means that Tottenham turns a blind eye to Son Heung-min's dedication over the past nine years and sees him only as a target of generational change. Son Heung-min is already receiving a low weekly salary compared to his skills. It is only in the top 30 in the EPL. This means that Tottenham has so far omitted only Son Heung-min's 'Sweet'.
In this situation, AT Madrid's interest is different from the rumor of a transfer to Saudi Arabia. Son Heung-min can accept it with pleasure. If AT Madrid's authority, reputation, and development potential are ahead of Tottenham, they are ahead of Tottenham, because they have nothing to fall behind at all. Wearing an AT Madrid uniform is unlikely to be a flaw in the reputation of 'South Korean Captain'.
In addition, there are many clubs that will offer better conditions if Son Heung-min becomes known as 'free transfer fee'. It is widely believed that several teams are interested in Son Heung-min even within the same EPL.

More importantly, in this situation, Son Heung-min may not be in the position of 'eul', which has been beaten by Tottenham so far. If he takes advantage of the situation in which his stock price is rising in the transfer market and reflects it in the renewal of his contract with Tottenham, he can draw much better conditions than expected so far. In the end, Tottenham's poor response has grown the work. Attention is focusing on what choice Son Heung-min will make among the many options to be given in front of him.
