Should Son Heung-min leave Tottenham. Along with the stagnation of the renewal of the contract, there were even claims urging the recruitment of substitutes.

Britain's iNews reported on the 27th (Korea time) 'Tottenham should face the truth about Son Heung-min'

iNews said, `Son Heung-min has run in vain in recent weeks. Defeat at Nottingham is one of his underachievements. I also wasted the best opportunity. Son Heung-min is no longer able to show the speed required by Enze Postecoglou. Son Heung-min's future has been unquestionable during his 10 years at Tottenham. Now, it has become an urgent issue with seven months left in the contract. Now Son Heung-min's replacement plan is desperately needed. There is no risk that Son will leave next summer, but the natural solution is to reduce his workload as a replacement,' he said, explaining that it is time for Tottenham to find a replacement for Son.

Such an argument is news that further strengthens Son Heung-min's recent stagnation in his contract renewal. There has been news that Son Heung-min has become dissatisfied with the delayed renewal of his contract with Tottenham. England's To the Rain & Back reported on the 26th that Son Heung-min was unhappy with Tottenham's contract progress.

There are rumors that Tottenham striker Son Heung-min will leave the team. Son Heung-min's contract expires after this season, and there have been reports that he wants to remain with the team until his late 30s. However, no agreement has been reached between the parties, and Son is dissatisfied amid uncertainty over the long-term future, he said.

"If you look at the current situation, the Saudi Arabian club is still paying attention to him, and for now, the club is one of the urgent situations to resolve quickly so that this situation does not affect performance," he added.




Tottenham Hotspur News also reported on the 25th that `Son Heung-min is dissatisfied with Tottenham's absurd progress on the contract,' adding `Son Heung-min wants to stay with the team until his late 30s, but an agreement on a new contract has yet to be reached. The contract expires at the end of this season, but the club has a one-year extension option. Options have not yet been announced. Son Heung-min is likely unhappy with the way his contract situation is handled. He is the most important player of the club. However, these parts were not reflected in the way they were treated for the future. This may explain why Son Heung-min is not showing his best performance.

Former Tottenham scout Brian King also "This issue should have ended three or four months ago. Son Heung-min is a player who has dedicated his football career to Tottenham. No player has been more committed since he was recruited. It is also questionable whether his mind is 100% with Tottenham now. I'm not sure if Son Heung-min is happy."

Britain's The Times also wants Son to stay with the team until he is in his late 30s, but an agreement on a new contract has not yet been reached. As things stand now, Son Heung-min will become an FA at the end of the season. Son Heung-min is well placed to receive an attractive offer in Europe. It pointed out that profitable transactions will also be possible in the future.




There was even a news that Son Heung-min was under pressure from the club to renew his contract after the news of a one-year extension option was recently triggered. England's Give Me Sports also quoted Fabrizio Romano, an expert in the European soccer transfer market, on the 23rd, saying that Tottenham Hotspur is expected to activate the option of extending Son's contract period until 2026. Tottenham could send Son to another team for a transfer fee next summer if he does not agree to renew his contract, reports said.

England's The Boy Hospers also said, `Tottenham plans to activate options for Son Heung-min's contract,' adding, `There is an expectation to keep Son Heung-min until June 2026. 'We are still waiting for the official phase' it said, adding that the use of options will precede.

It has already drawn great attention with the news related to the renewal of the contract since last summer. Reporter Graham Bailey said on Britain's TBR Football that `Tottenham has no plans to renew contract with Son Heung-min. Son Heung-min said he was shocked by the club's decision, adding that `Son Heung-min and his camp 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.'

The news came after Tottenham's one-year extension option was triggered, which gave it more strength. 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.'"

It's bound to be disappointing news. 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 is in a high position in the all-time ranking with 169 Tottenham goals. It also ranked No. 1 in Tottenham's career help ranking.

Son Heung-min also rejected all Saudi Arabia's huge offer to stay at Tottenham. CBS Sports reporter Ben Jacobs said about Son's proposal last summer that he had been offered a total of more than 170 billion euros in annual salary, saying, `Son Heung-min has been offered a contract with an annual salary of 30 million euros (about 46 billion euros) every season for four years by the Saudi league RT Hard.'

In general, it is common to try to renew the contract with the player before the contract has about a year left. This is especially true for key players like Son Heung-min. It may be a relaxed attitude because Tottenham and Son Heung-min's contract included a one-year extension option, but it is also true that Son Heung-min's treatment is lacking. In the case of Harry Kane, Tottenham made various efforts, including trying to renew the contract immediately to catch him with a year left on his contract. On the other hand, the fact that he didn't even talk to Son Heung-min is more disappointing because it contrasts with his affection.

If Son Heung-min is likely to leave as a free agent in the summer of 2025 instead of renewing his contract, the interest of other clubs will inevitably increase. In addition to the three La Liga leaders, the interest of large European clubs such as Manchester United and Bayern Munich has recently been reported, so it may be an opportunity for Son Heung-min to leave Tottenham on a free contract.

Son Heung-min began to be linked to the names of various clubs in the summer, including the recent rumor of a transfer to Atletico. England's The Hard Task said 'Atletico are interested in recruiting Son Heung-min' According to the news, Atletico are interested in recruiting Son Heung-min and will have every opportunity to sign Son through a free agent next summer. Son has become stronger every season and has established himself as one of the best strikers in the league,' he said.

In the EPL, Manchester United showed interest. Sports Bible says Tottenham captain Son Heung-min could be a possible recruit candidate for Manchester United in the transfer market next summer. There is a lot of talk that Manchester United will recruit Son Heung-min next summer. Son may be able to negotiate with other clubs from January 1, 2025, he noted.

However, with the invocation of the one-year extension option, Son Heung-min will not be treated properly by Tottenham and will be deprived of the opportunity to transfer to the transfer market next summer.

Son Heung-min can also break his will to remain a Tottenham legend. Son Heung-min attends a Tottenham fan forum event this season, saying, `Do you intend to retire from Tottenham?"I was asked questions about renewing my contract and retiring. Son Heung-min replied, `I've already answered this question. In football, we don't know the future. There is still a contract period with Tottenham, and it has already been 10 years since he played here. You can't imagine how happy I would be at Tottenham," he said, as if he had already left an opinion that he wanted to remain.

Then "Our future in football is unknown, I'm just focusing on this season. All I want is a win. I just want to see you all smile even if the day comes when I leave this club, and I want to see everyone talk about me as a legend," he said, "I want to become a player who can be called a legend of the club." However, Son Heung-min's will has become even more unpredictable with Tottenham's stagnant renewal.

It was argued that Son Heung-min's replacement should be found. Tottenham's attitude of agonizing over Son Heung-min's age and skills is inevitably important. Son Heung-min's move is also expected to be determined by Tottenham's decision.
