There's even a rumor about a transfer to Bayern Munich. Former teammate Harry Kane also expressed his feelings for Son Heung-min. However, Son Heung-min is still thinking about winning against Tottenham.
Son Heung-min has recently attracted a lot of attention due to rumors of his transfer to Bayern. Germany's Avent Zeitung on the 17th 'Kane sent a wish to General Manager Max Ebbe. He wants to meet his former colleague in Bayern Munich, the report said.
Avent Zeitung says 'Christmas is a time to make a wish. It's not just children. Kane also delivered a small wish to Ebele. It's Son Heung-min's name. Son Heung-min was an outstanding partner at Kane and Tottenham. Son Heung-min is already 32 years old, but it will still be interesting for Bayern in many ways. It can be used flexibly in attack and gives a deep impression of scoring ability. Moreover, he can meet his national team teammate Kim Min-jae in Bayern, and he is well aware of the German stage. Son Heung-min said he could transfer for free when his contract expires next summer.
England's TBR Football is also asked at a recent fan visit event which Tottenham players would like to bring to Bayern if given a choice. According to the news, Kane replied by referring to Son Heung-min. Son Heung-min said, 'I can theoretically perform well at Bayern because I can play both left wingers and strikers.'"

We can fully look forward to the Bayern transfer rumor. Son Heung-min's contract situation is the basis. Son Heung-min has been rumored to transfer due to the stagnant contract renewal with Tottenham since last summer's transfer market. With Son Heung-min set to expire his contract in the summer of 2025, news of the renewal negotiations with Tottenham was rarely revealed. England's TBR Football conveyed to Son Heung-min that there were no plans to negotiate a renewal. Son Heung-min's side was shocked by the club's decision, saying, `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.'
There was even news that Tottenham put weight on the option of extending the contract for one year instead of renewing the contract. Leading British media and Tottenham reporters also said that Tottenham will activate a one-year extension option for Son Heung-min to keep him in the team after this season. When asked about renewing the contract in person at a press conference, Son Heung-min also said, `We haven't had any conversations yet" he replied.
In this situation, rumors of a transfer poured out. It was rumored that Barcelona, Manchester United, and Real Madrid were transferred. Spain's El Nacional confirmed that director Deku is negotiating a deal to bring him to Barcelona after leaving Tottenham. They are monitoring the situation of star players whose contracts expire next June. Son's most notable name is Son Heung-min's transfer to Barcelona.

British Give Me Sports said, `Son Heung-min is a strong target for Manchester United,' adding, `Manchester United is rumored to be a strong target for Tottenham star Son Heung-min as his contract expires next summer. Son Heung-min, who called Enze Postecoglou a world-class player, must be a welcome player from Manchester United fans. In addition, Real Madrid was also interested.
Rumors of a transfer to Galatasaray also emerged. Team Talk in England reportedly wants to sign Victor Osimhen in the January transfer window, adding: 'Manchester United are not very good at the moment. Marcus Rashford has come up a bit with form, but Joshua Girksey and Rasmus Hoyloon are far short. Manchester United are one of the teams that wants to sign Osimhen. Osimhen has a €75 million buyout. 'If Osimhen is sold, Galatasaray may be looking for a short-term solution in January as it may be difficult to maintain its lead, but I believe the long-term solution is to recruit Son Heung-min.'"

In this situation, Kane's remarks sparked rumors of a transfer to Bayern. However, Son's eyes were only on Tottenham's trophy this season.
England's To the Rain & Back reported on the 18th that Son Heung-min is ready to change everything to end Tottenham's desire for the 16-year trophy.
"Son Heung-min has become a more helpful player in the EPL than any other player in Tottenham. However, Son said he wanted a trophy at Tottenham this season and would trade all the points and help for the trophy as well.
Son Heung-min said in an interview with Tottenham, `I'm very proud of my achievements at the club, but I'm still hungry and I want to improve. If I can change it for the trophy, I can change this record as well."

Meanwhile, there is still a prospect that Son Heung-min can sign a contract. Spurs Webb of England denied speculation that Son Heung-min's transfer was imminent and said discussions were underway for a new contract with Tottenham. It is not true that Son Heung-min makes a request to the Spanish club first or goes to the Turkiye League. I didn't finish talking to Tottenham. Tottenham want to buy time in contract talks. Son Heung-min is expected to agree a long-term deal with Tottenham before the end of this season. It is expected that he will sign a contract of up to three years while keeping his current salary as it is,' he said, explaining that negotiations between Son Heung-min and Tottenham are steadily underway.
If he is offered to renew his contract, Son Heung-min is expected to put more weight on staying at Tottenham for now. If, as expected, Son Heung-min maintains his weekly salary, which is currently the highest weekly wage in the team, and signs a three-year contract, it can be seen as an unconventional treatment for Tottenham. Tottenham has offered few long-term contracts to players in their 30s or older, and the same goes for high salaries. Tottenham has adhered to its policy of not offering long-term re-signing and high weekly wages to players in their 30s or older. Considering this point, it can be seen as a good enough proposal.

This means there is a little more time to work on"I'm sure Tottenham will want Son 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 anything, he predicted that he would renew his contract.
