British media 'TBR Football' reported on the 7th (Korea time) 'Tottenham told Son Heung-min that they had no plans to discuss a new contract'
Son Heung-min and Tottenham's contract is due in the summer of 2025. However, Tottenham have an option to extend their contract by one year. If the option is activated, Son Heung-min will play for Tottenham from 2025 to 2026.
According to TBR Football, Tottenham is not expected to renew its contract after executing only the option of a one-year extension.
After the 2025-2026 season, Son Heung-min is 34 years old. Usually in the mid-30s, the heyday is over. I'm old enough to think about retiring.
Of course, with the recent introduction of condition management techniques and advanced equipment, more players are playing until their late 30s. Cristiano Ronaldo (Alnasr), born in 1985, and Lionel Messi (Inter Miami), born in 1987, are also still active. However, there may be a limit to holding out in the 'big league'.
Son Heung-min has already caused concern with repeated injuries this season.
Son Heung-min has been injured frequently recently. On 27 September, he was injured at home against Karabakh FK in the first round of the Europa League. In the 26th minute of the second half, when he complained of thigh pain, he collapsed.
Since then, he has been excluded from the away match at Manchester United in the sixth round of the Premier League, the away match at Ferencvaros in the second round of the Europa League, and the away match at Brighton in the seventh round of the Premier League. He was not also called up for the third Asian qualifying team for the 2026 North Korea-China World Cup.
Son Heung-min returned to the match against West Ham in the eighth round of the Premier League on the 19th. Son Heung-min was involved in three goals and led the way to a 4-1 victory, but was replaced in 70 minutes. After the game, I felt pain again and did not participate in training.
Since then, he has missed the Europa League AZ Alkmaar and the Premier League's ninth round against Crystal Palace. He seemed likely to return to the match against Manchester City in the round of 16 of the Carabao Cup, but he did not come out again.
Son Heung-min returned to the Premier League against Aston Villa on the 3rd, about two weeks later. Son Heung-min was also called up to the national team for the third Asian qualifying round for the World Cup in November.
Tottenham is expected to implement the option of extending it by one year.

Tottenham fan community 'HospersHQ' wished Son Heung-min to stay more at Tottenham.
Hotspur HQ says there is no concern about Son Heung-min. Fans believed Son Heung-min would remain at the club after 2025. This season is not appropriate to let Son go.
Hotspur HQ said 'Son Heung-min still has the ability to play at a great level despite being 32 years old. So Tottenham want to continue to be with Son after this season.'"
Hotspur HQ added 'If this happens, Son will go over 10 years at Tottenham. It's a tremendous achievement. Son Heung-min moved from Bayer Leverkusen in 2015 and has since become a legend for Tottenham.
Hotspur HQ said, `Son Heung-min played in 310 Premier League games for Tottenham. He scored 123 goals even though his main position is not a striker. Son Heung-min saw many great players being recruited and left again. 'He played with Dele Alli, Hugo Lloris, Harry Kane and Gareth Bale.
HotspurHQ is 'There is no rumor that he will be transferred from Tottenham. However, as this season progresses, the media is raising a lot of transfer rumors. I hope his transfer will be delayed as the one-year option is implemented. Tottenham may offer Son a new contract after 2026. In particular, if he achieves the same level of performance as he has so far, it is natural to renew his contract.
