Some even claimed that Tottenham could sell Son Heung-min for a reasonable transfer fee.

Tottenham News of the United Kingdom reported on the 7th (Korea time) 'European clubs can pay 50 million pounds (about 90 billion won) for Tottenham.'"

Tottenham news reports that former Tottenham scout Brian King claims European clubs will pay £50m for Son Heung-min. He said Tottenham's choice was reasonable.



King added, `During the period of Son's contract, Tottenham may collect the transfer fee. If Harry Kane was sold for £100m (about £180bn) with one year left on his contract, I'm sure there will be many clubs who will pay at least £50m for Son Heung-minTottenham claimed that Son Heung-min could be sold next summer.

The captain's starting point is Tottenham's invocation of an extension option and failure to renew the contract. Earlier, England's TBR Football reported on the 6th that Tottenham told Son Heung-min that they had no plans to negotiate re-signing. Son Heung-min's side was shocked by the club's decision.



TBT Football reported that `Son Heung-min and his camp had discussed a new contract with Tottenham, and both sides were positive about the contract extension, but the club seemed to have suddenly changed their attitude.'

England's cutoff side also said on the 6th that `Tottenham will sign a one-year extension contract for Son Heung-min,' adding that `Son Heung-min has played for Tottenham for 10 years, and Tottenham will issue a one-year extension option with Son Heung-min. Son Heung-min is receiving fans' attention as a captain, so it is good news for club officials that Tottenham has activated a one-year extension option. His human side and his actions off the field also make everyone love him. He also scored 123 goals in the English Premier League, which is enough evidence to prove his worth.



Then 'Son Heung-min will turn 33 in the 2025-2026 season, and wrapping up his EPL career ahead of his 34th birthday is the perfect way to end his European career. Now Enze Postecoglou and Daniel Levy will have to figure out how to replace him. It's not easy to find a player to replace him,' he said, explaining that it would be perfect for Son to leave the team in 2026 after this one-year extension.

Earlier on the 4th, England's Telegraph said, "'Tottenham will activate a one-year extension option for Son Heung-min, so that he will continue to stay with the team after this season.'" Tottenham signed a new contract with Son Heung-min in 2021, and the expiration of the contract was scheduled for seven months later. The club is known to have a one-year extension option. 'All Tottenham have to do is notify Son Heung-min of the option being activated, and we have found out that Tottenham intend to do so.'"

In the end, Tottenham is expected to extend its contract with Son Heung-min until 2026 through this one-year extension option and even consider selling it after that. It may be a judgment made because there is not a lot of interest in Son Heung-min.

If Tottenham does not seek a long-term renewal with Son Heung-min, there is a good chance that Saudi Arabia will show great interest. During the transfer market last summer, British media raised the possibility that Son Heung-min could be sold in 2025. Son will turn 33 then. For a player of that age, a long-term contract may not be a smart choice, and the opportunity to sell to Saudi Arabia to earn a transfer fee may be attractive. I think it's worth 100 million pounds (about 170 billion won) despite his lackluster season in terms of his value.'

Some European teams reportedly wanted to recruit Son Heung-min when he was already mentioned as a free agent. Spain's El Nacional said 'Barcelona will try to reinforce its offense. The player Han Ji Flick will choose is very clear. Several key conditions have been approved by Deku, and conditions are the experience of the offense, Yamal, and differentiated talent. One of them is Tottenham star Son Heung-min, who also expressed the possibility of going to Barcelona, and evaluated that big clubs are paying attention to Son Heung-min's contract situation, including Manchester United and Bayern Munich.

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.

For Son Heung-min, this kind of response is regrettable. 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 a total of 416 Tottenham games and is ranked high in the all-time ranking with 165 Tottenham goals. He also had a huge record in Tottenham's career help ranking second, just behind Christian Eriksen.

Son Heung-min is currently receiving a weekly salary of about 190,000 pounds (about 342 million won) from Tottenham. In terms of annual salary, it is about 9.88 million pounds (about 17.8 billion won). It is currently the highest salary at Tottenham, and it is true that it is above average even within the English Premier League.

However, it is shocking to compare this with the top-paid players of the big six teams in terms of their names. There are also big club aces such as Kevin DeBrouiner, Mohamed Salah, Bruno Fernandes and Declan Rice who are currently receiving more weekly wages than Son Heung-min among English Premier League players. However, many players, including Antony, Harry Maguire, Jack Grealish and Wesley Fofana, were also disappointed in their performance and skills than Son Heung-min. In particular, Antony is a higher-paid player than Son Heung-min, receiving an annual salary of 10.4 million pounds (about 18.7 billion won) despite his serious slump. Considering this, Tottenham's attitude to reduce money even for Son Heung-min, the club legend, is bound to be regrettable.

Fans also strongly want Son to stay. Tottenham's fan community Spurs Web picked Son Heung-min as the first among the five players on October 31, saying, `The five players Tottenham should keep under a new contract right away.' Spurs Webb said of Son Heung-min, "'It's definitely not something Tottenham needs to worry about among the new contracts that they can sign.'" Tottenham captain Son Heung-min would be wise to secure a new contract with the intention of taking him to the end of his career, although his contract expires after the end of the season and he has an option to extend his contract. Son Heung-min is still Tottenham's most important and influential player, and he deserves to stay as long as he wants, given his legacy at the club over the past decade. It is a pleasure for the fans to keep him tied until the end of his career.'

Since Tottenham and Son Heung-min's hopes for renewing the contract have not completely disappeared yet, fans can watch with a little more expectation. Tottenham reporter Alasdier Gold, a reporter in charge of England's Football London, held a question-and-answer session with fans in October, when a fan asked Gold, "Do you think Tottenham will offer Son Heung-min a new contract soon?", he had the option to extend the contract until 2026. This means we have a little more time to work on it."

Gold said "I'm sure Tottenham will want 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.

There were even claims that Tottenham could sell Son Heung-min. After the failure to renew the contract, more attention is expected to be paid to the attitudes of Son Heung-min and Tottenham.
