Son Heung-min's possible transfer to Galatasaray is drawing keen attention.

Team Talk reported on the 20th (Korea time) 'Galatasaray is ready to make a bid in January to recruit Son Heung-min'

Team Talk said, `Son Heung-min is a true legend who has scored more than 100 goals in the English Premier League. Son Heung-min's existing contract expires after the 2024-2025 season, but the club has the option to extend it for another year. According to Turkiye media, Galatasaray approved the recruitment of Son Heung-min in the winter. After Hakim Ziyech's departure, Son Heung-min was targeted as the latest transfer target. We will offer a proper transfer fee for Son Heung-min, he said.



Then 'Even if Tottenham activates the option, it does not mean they will not accept Galatasaray's offer. Nevertheless, it would be a huge shock to see Tottenham break up with their captain and key player Son Heung-min in the middle of the season.

Son Heung-min is drawing attention from several teams due to the recent renewal issue. There has already been a possibility of a transfer to Barcelona. Spain's El Nacional said 'Barcelona will try to reinforce its offense. 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.



The source of interest is definitely renewing the contract. Son Heung-min recently told the British media that Tottenham has no plans to negotiate a contract renewal. Son Heung-min's side was shocked by the club's decision.

This is unfortunate news for Son Heung-min. Son Heung-min has consistently expressed his willingness to remain a Tottenham legend. 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 exceeded 400 Tottenham games, and he 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.

However, Tottenham decided to extend the contract period until 2026 and watch the situation rather than renewing the contract with Son Heung-min for a long time. Son Heung-min is also currently weighing on staying at Tottenham, so it is unlikely that he will leave the team immediately. German reporter Florian Flettenberg said, `Son Heung-min will remain with the team after the summer of 2025. This is because the contract is expected to be increased to 2026 through the extension option. Son Heung-min is also known to want to stay at Tottenham.

Son Heung-min already rejected Saudi Arabia's huge offer last year. Saudi Arabia reportedly offered Son Heung-min a contract last summer, and the 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.

Galatasaray is a team that is in a higher league than Saudi Arabia, but it is inevitably difficult to be an attractive option enough to leave Tottenham. After Tottenham's notification of not being able to renew the contract, he once again extended his courtship to Son Heung-min at the Turkiye. However, it does not seem easy to hold Son Heung-min's hand.
