England's TBR Football said on the 6th (Korea time) 'Tottenham conveyed to Son Heung-min that they had no plans to negotiate a renewal of the contract. Son Heung-min said he was shocked by the club's decision and 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 seems to have suddenly changed its attitude.'

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.'"
The reason why Tottenham decided to extend the contract by one year instead of renewing the contract was simple. It was to save money. Give Me Sports of England 'Tottenham will sign Son Heung-min a 12-month extension instead of offering him a profitable new contract. The club's leadership has decided to remain cautious rather than put more pressure on salaries' he said, adding that Tottenham's leaders are reluctant to give Son big money by renewing his contract for a long time.

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.
Tottenham only invoked the extension option to save money instead of renewing the contract with Son Heung-min. Attention is also focusing on what choice Son Heung-min will make in the future due to Tottenham's decision.
