Was it a breakup that Son Heung-min devoted 10 years to Tottenham and rejected Saudi Arabia's offer. It was claimed that Tottenham and Son Heung-min reached the end.

England's cutoff side reported on the 16th (Korea time) 'Tottenham has begun competition to recruit Son Heung-min's outstanding successor'

The cut-off side added: "'Son Heung-min's career at Tottenham is about to end, and the club has found a replacement for him but is competing. Son Heung-min is 32 years old, and his contract expires next summer, so it may be a reasonable time to say goodbye to the team after this season. Tottenham have already sent scouts for information on Lille's outstanding talent, Hakon Arnar Haralsson.

Son Heung-min is attracting a lot of attention this summer over his contract renewal. Son Heung-min, who has devoted himself to the club for 10 years and is now the captain, is neglecting Son's renewal. The contract signed by Tottenham and Son Heung-min is scheduled to expire in the summer of 2025, but no specific renewal negotiations have been made yet. Son Heung-min also asked about renewing his contract, saying, `We haven't said anything yet" he said.

Haralsson, who Tottenham wants to be Son Heung-min's successor, is a player who can play both offensive midfielders and wingers. He has already played 38 games in Lille since last season, moving back and forth between the main players and the bench, revealing his potential. Excellent kick, ability to use both feet and breakthrough sometimes overlap with Son Heung-min. Tottenham seem to want to sign him as a replacement for Son, noting Haralsson's talent.

In addition to Haralsson, Espanyol striker Harvey Poi was also named. Fuado is a striker who led his team to promotion by scoring 17 goals in Espanyol last season. Sportsmall noted that `Tottenham is eyeing Espanyol star Fuado as an option to strengthen their offensive line.' If Son Heung-min's replacement is really recruited this coming winter or next summer, Son Heung-min may have to think about options other than staying at Tottenham.

Along with Son Heung-min's renewal, interest in recruiting Son Heung-min has already emerged. Spain's El Nacional said, `It has been confirmed that Deku is negotiating a deal to bring him to Barcelona after leaving Tottenham.` Barcelona had to focus on free agency instead of large-scale investment due to financial problems. Thanks to this, several star players have recently been able to be recruited at no cost. Juan Laporta and Deku want to maintain this policy, and they are monitoring the situation of star players whose contracts expire next June. Son's most notable name is Son Heung-min's transfer to Barcelona.

Atletico Madrid were already interested this summer. Spain's Todofichahes said 'Atletico is one of the teams with the most moves in the transfer market this summer. Led the league in terms of investment. Julián Álvarez joined as a major player, and he was called to lead Atletico's future. However, the team's leadership continues to make efforts and intends to continue the line for the reorganization of the team. Several names were mentioned, and one of the players who will gain the most strength is Son Heung-min.

Saudi Arabia's courtship is also steady. When Saudi Arabia's interest was reported last summer, the British media reported that Son Heung-min could be sold in 2025 and added that Son will be 33 years old then. The opportunity to make a transfer fee by selling it to Saudi Arabia can be attractive.In terms of his value, he said, "I think it is worth 100 million pounds (about 170 billion won) even though he had a sluggish season." Some argued that Son Heung-min could be sold to Saudi Arabia for 100 million pounds.

Despite the interest of other clubs, Tottenham is reportedly planning to watch the situation by using a one-year extension option instead of a long-term contract renewal. If Tottenham continues to be lukewarm about renewing the contract, even if Tottenham invokes a one-year extension option, the possibility that Son Heung-min will be willing to transfer cannot be ruled out. It is enough to feel sorry for the club's attitude of dedication for 10 years.

Considering Son Heung-min's achievements and evaluations at Tottenham, it is also considered a legend that is included in the top 10 in the club's history. Son Heung-min has played 415 Tottenham games, and he is in a high position in the all-time ranking with 164 Tottenham goals. He also had a huge record in Tottenham's career help ranking second, just behind Christian Eriksen.

Son Heung-min has already turned down a huge offer to stay at Tottenham. CBS Sports reporter Ben Jacobs said about Son's proposal last summer that he had been offered a total of more than 170 billion euros in annual salary, saying, `Son Heung-min has been offered a contract with an annual salary of 30 million euros (about 43.3 billion won) every season for four years by the Saudi league RT Hard.' Son Heung-min reportedly refused and stayed at Tottenham.

He also has a strong will to remain a legend. Attending Tottenham fan forum event "Do you intend to retire from Tottenham?When asked "You can't imagine how happy I would be at Tottenham. I just want to see you all smile even if the day comes when I leave this club, and I want to see everyone talk about me as a legend" he replied.

Tottenham Instagram in England said, `If Son stays at Tottenham, he will get a chance to solidify his legacy. He also made his fans fall in love with his humility and good performances off the field. If he stays, not only the fans but also the EPL can keep him, he said, claiming that everyone would welcome him to stay.

Of course, there is still a possibility of renewing the contract. Tottenham reporter Alasdier Gold, a British Football London reporter, recently asked "Do you think Tottenham will offer Son Heung-min a new contract anytime soon?"There is an option to extend the contract until 2026. This means there is a little more time to work on"I'm sure Tottenham will want Son to be with Son in a predictable future because they value him both on and off the field. Son Heung-min also wants to justify the title of legend in the club. by winning anythingBoth the club and Son Heung-min said they may intend to renew their contracts.

Attention is focusing on whether Tottenham and Son Heung-min will renew their contracts. Amid growing regret over Tottenham's neglect of Son Heung-min with the appearance of replacement candidates, attention is being paid to whether Tottenham will be able to give a clear treatment for the club legend before the end of this season.
