'Captain'The opposite attitude to Son Heung-min. Tottenham is desperate to catch Christian Romero.

Britain's The Hard Task reported on the 13th (Korea time) that `Tottenham has no will to sell Romero.' On the previous day, England 'Football Insider' also 'Tottenham will reject Real Madrid's offer to Romero'

Real Madrid's defense has collapsed recently. Real Madrid's defense has collapsed now. Main right-back Dani Carvajal left the team early due to a knee injury. It was a major injury that was expected to be absent for more than 10 months. On top of that, even Eder Militão collapsed.



Millitang was replaced by an injury in the 30th minute of the first half against Osasuna at home on the 9th. A detailed examination revealed a complete rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament of the right knee. Millitang also failed to play for a long time last season due to a ruptured cruciate ligament in his left knee, but he was again in tears due to a major injury. He is not expected to play for at least nine months.

Now that David Alaba is also not free from injury, Antonio Rudiger is the only reliable defender in Real Madrid. It is a fatal situation for Real Madrid, which combines the European Champions League and the league. Therefore, Real Madrid is considering strengthening its defense.

Real Madrid's most wanted player is Romero. Romero is one of the best center backs in the world. In an interview with Argentine media in September last year, Messi praised Romero for being the best defender in the world right now.

Romero entered the European stage through Italian Serie A Genoa after playing for Argentina's CA Belgrano. Romero, who showed promise in Genoa, moved to Juventus, Italy's strongest team, in the summer of 2019. Romero, who was loaned to Genoa shortly after signing, failed to settle down after returning to loan and left for Atalanta again.



Talents exploded in Atalanta. He showed the best performance and was selected as Serie A's best defender in the 2020-2021 season. It's the same award Kim Min-jae received in Naples.

Romero caught the attention of the big club at once. Tottenham jumped in. Director Fabio Paratici, who knew Romero well at Juventus at the time, stepped up and wore a Tottenham uniform as a transfer condition after being loaned out in the summer of 2021. The transfer fee was 55 million euros.

He has been active since the first year. He couldn't play many games due to overlapping injuries, but he showed impressive performance every time he came out. He scored one goal in 28 games. Romero, who succeeded in a full transfer ahead of the 2022-2023 season, showed a more mature performance. He also led Argentina to the World Cup in Qatar. Although he was under fire for his rough defense, he was considered the most reliable defender in Tottenham.

He was appointed as vice-captain and served as a leader, and card management, which was a weakness, also improved remarkably. Romero has the world's best interpersonal defense capabilities and a bold forward defense based on physical capabilities. The build-up ability is also outstanding. 'Teammate'Pedro Porro boasts a perfect defense to the point where he says "The best defender on the planet"

This is not the first time Real Madrid are interested in Romero. Real Madrid, which signed Kylian Mbappe, sought to complete a new Galactico club and had Romero in mind as part of that. Of course, it was only interested at the time, but now that the defense has completely collapsed, it is more active in recruiting Romero.

Then Tottenham are responding quickly. The Hard Tackle says 'Real Madrid has long been interested in Romero. Real Madrid are rekindling interest in Romero, but Tottenham don't want to sell Romero. Tottenham are desperate to hold on to Romero, who is under contract until 2027'

To that end, the company plans to raise its annual salary. Son Heung-min is currently the highest salary in Tottenham. He receives 190,000 pounds (about 340 million won) every week. Tottenham are reportedly planning to offer Romero 200,000 pounds (about 359 million won). Romero becomes Tottenham's highest salary at once.

It is the opposite of his attitude to Son Heung-min. On the 6th, the British TBR Football reported that `Tottenham has announced to Son Heung-min that it has no plans to discuss a new contract.' Then 'Son Heung-min was shocked by the club's decision. The club negotiated re-signing with Son Heung-min and his camp, and although the two sides agreed, it appears that the club has suddenly changed its attitude.

Tottenham appear hesitant to offer Son Heung-min, who will turn 33 next year, an additional contract. In addition, Son has been suffering from frequent injuries in recent years. Son Heung-min, who is in his mid-30s after 2026, seems not sure about his physical condition.

In the end, the conclusion seems to be a one-year extension. On the same day, the Daily Mail reported that `Tottenham will extend Son Heung-min's one-year contract and maintain the contract after the end of the season.' "Son Heung-min's existing contract is set to expire in June, and Tottenham are trying to avoid the risk of rival clubs leaving for the FA in January by talking to him," it said.

Tottenham News, which mainly reports about Tottenham, reported on the 7th that the 'Brian King former Tottenham scout insisted that European teams pay Son Heung-min £50 million.It was said that Son Heung-min could be sold after a year of extension.

Prior to this, the British Telegraph said on the 4th that Tottenham will soon issue an option to extend Son Heung-min's one-year contract. Tottenham then signed Son Heung-min's last contract (four years) in July 2021, and the club reportedly has the option to extend the contract for another year. 'Tottenham only needs to let Son know that it is exercising its option to extend the contract. Both Tottenham and Son Heung-min agree to activate the option.

Son Heung-min's current future is a hot potato. Son Heung-min's contract with Tottenham expires next summer. Initially, Tottenham is expected to offer Son Heung-min a long-term contract renewal. There have been constant talks about renewing contracts around Christmas last year. As Son Heung-min also loves Tottenham, the contract is expected to be renewed without difficulty. But the tide has changed.

The Athletic said, `Son Heung-min is still an integral part of the team. Tottenham will invoke the option of a one-year extension to keep him tied to the club until 2026' Another British media outlet, 90min 'Tottenham will enter the final year of Son's contract. It said it would invoke an option to extend this to 2026' As news of the renewal of the contract was delayed, there were even talks that Fenerbahce, a prestigious Turkiye who was newly appointed by Jose Mourinho in the winter transfer market, wanted Son Heung-min. Chairman Daniel Levy came forward to deal with it, but news of Son Heung-min's renewal is still not heard.

Recently, the strand has been caught toward the extension of one year. England's Football Transfer reported that `Tottenham has made a decision on Son's contract.' Then 'Tottenham is currently focusing on guaranteeing the future of its captain Son Heung-min. Son Heung-min is the best source of income in the team, and his contract is valid until 2025. Son Heung-min also admitted there was no discussion of a new contract yet, but it could be seen that Tottenham will sign a one-year extension to keep him until 2026 and offer it to prevent him from leaving on free agency.

He also said he was looking for a new player. While 17-year-old prospect Mikey Moore has grown rapidly and is highly praised, Tottenham are looking for an experienced winger to compete with Son Heung-min. 'Chairman Daniel Levy's use of the extended contract clause is a key strategy for team stability, and with this approach, fan favorite Son Heung-min is expected to remain a central figure in the team for a while.'

British sports malls reported similarly. Son Heung-min is the last survivor of Tottenham's previous representation, and Son Heung-min survived at the old Tottenham. He shows no sign of resting at Tottenham, and he scored 17 goals last season as well. Tottenham are reportedly considering securing his future as a priority. Tottenham are preparing to extend at least one year to keep Son in the team until June 2026, he said.

Tottenham's attitude is a more disappointing treatment for Son Heung-min, who has wanted to remain a club legend. Son Heung-min has shown his strong affection for Tottenham. Son Heung-min attends 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 one day I leave this club, and I want to see everyone talk about me as a legend" he said. In another interview "I still want to achieve something. It's not up to me to decide whether I'll be the legend of this club. I wouldn't call myself a legend because I still want to win here. That's why I'm committed. I think our future is bright with coach Enze Postecoglou and this club. We must continue to improve."

However, there is still a possibility of renewing the contract. Tottenham reporter Alasdier Gold, a British football London reporter, recently held a question-and-answer session with fans, and one fan asked Gold, "'Do you think Tottenham will offer Son Heung-min a new contract soon?' Gold has an option to extend its 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 anything..."
