It was reported that Son Heung-min was recently shocked by Tottenham's notification of not being able to renew his contract. England's Spurs Web reported on the 13th that `Tottenham's star player Son Heung-min is not satisfied with the contract situation and warned the club.' The player was dissatisfied with Tottenham's decision to sign a contract, and Saudi Arabian clubs received news that Son Heung-min could be recruited. Tottenham have reportedly decided not to offer Son a long-term contract, instead activating a one-year option. 'This shift in direction surprised Son's side, apparently because it appeared to have been agreed upon by all parties at the time of initial contract discussions'
The failure to offer a long-term contract does not seem to have had a good effect on Son Heung-min, and Saudi Arabia is also paying attention to this fact and looking at the opportunity to recruit Son after this season. Saudi clubs can secure significant funds in the summer and are seeking to recruit many high-profile players, including Son Heung-min,' he explained.
British talk sports also said they were disappointed about Son Heung-min's contract with Tottenham, adding that Son was expected to negotiate over a long-term contract, but Tottenham decided to activate the one-year option included in the existing contract. This will keep Son on his contract until the summer of 2026. If nothing changes, Son Heung-min will leave on a free agent after the next season, and he has played for Tottenham for more than 10 years,' he said, noting that Tottenham could release Son Heung-min as it is.

Saudi Arabia, which could be the most likely destination if Son Heung-min leaves Tottenham, has already been rejected. Saudi Arabia reportedly made an offer to Son Heung-min last summer, and British media said at the time that Son Heung-min was offered a contract worth 30 million euros (about 42 billion won) every season for four years from the Saudi league RT Hard, but refused.
However, if PSG, not Saudi Arabia, actively recruit, Son Heung-min's thoughts could also get a little closer to the transfer. PSG, a prestigious French club, has consistently won the trophy as the strongest team in the league in recent seasons. There is also a high possibility that he will be the main character of the "Taltenham Effect". Tottenham has often paid attention to players who have succeeded out of Tottenham as the number of cases such as winning and rebounding from Tottenham has increased. Harry Kane, who left the team last summer, failed to win the trophy immediately, but this season is the most likely candidate to win the league under Bangsang Kompany. Son Heung-min can also expect this result if he heads to PSG. Also, there is Lee Kang-in, a teammate of the Korean national team, so there is no problem in adapting.
However, it is unclear whether Son Heung-min will pay the amount Tottenham demands with one year left before his contract with Tottenham next summer, as PSG has yet to make a clear plan. Earlier, British media reported that `Tottenham is confident that many clubs will pay at least 50 million pounds (about 90 billion won) for Son Heung-min, but it is not known whether PSG will accept this amount.
While much attention was paid to Son Heung-min's future, PSG also appeared as a candidate for the next destination. The choice of Son Heung-min and Tottenham is expected to be important after this season.
