There have been reports that Son Heung-min is unhappy with the contract situation with Tottenham.
Tottenham Hotspur News, which specializes in delivering Tottenham news, said on the 25th (Korea time) "Son Heung-min is considered unfortunate at Tottenham amid uncertain long-term future. Tottenham want Son to stay with the club until he is in his late 30s. But no agreement on the new contract was reached," he reported.
Son Heung-min and Tottenham's contract now expires in six months. What Son Heung-min wants is reported to be a stay at Tottenham. There has been no news that he is moving away from Tottenham. European transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano also said Son Heung-min wants to stay at Tottenham.
However, Son Heung-min wants to solidify his future from the standpoint of looking at his mid-30s. Simply put, you want a multi-year contract. After signing his contract in July 2021, Son Heung-min became the top scorer in the English Premier League (EPL) and even captained the team last season. Harry Kane was the one who led the missing team to fifth place in the league. They will also want to reward them for this kind of performance.
Tottenham seem to be thinking differently. Currently, Tottenham seems to want to renew the contract with Son Heung-min, but it does not seem to think about improving treatment or signing a multi-year contract. It is said that Son Heung-min continues to be dissatisfied with the renewal negotiation process.
BR Football said last month that Tottenham had no plans to negotiate a new contract with Son Heung-min. Tottenham originally negotiated the contract with Son Heung-min and the players regarding the new contract. People on Son's side appear to have been shocked when the club suddenly changed its position over the new contract it had offered to the player,' he said, reporting that Son was unhappy with the club's decision.
The only news coming out after that is reports that Tottenham will invoke a clause that allows Son to extend his contract with Son Heung-min for another year. Reporter Romano said on Give Me Sports in England on the 23rd that `Tottenham is still expected to trigger a one-year extension and keep Son Heung-min until 2026. Because this part is always important, it is the atmosphere inside Tottenham that has been waiting for official action since October."
Tottenham Hotspur News also explained "Son Heung-min's current contract expires at the end of the season, but Tottenham have the option to extend it for another year, and they plan to exercise this option."
As for the delay in Tottenham's decision, scouts Brian King, who worked for Tottenham, said: "This issue should have been resolved three or four months ago", he complained about the delay in the club's decision.
He said "It's ridiculous. Son Heung-min is a talented player who dedicated his soccer career to Tottenham. No player has performed better since he joined Tottenham`He stressed the need to repay Son Heung-min for his dedication to Tottenham.
King analyzed that Son Heung-min's somewhat disappointing performance this season may be a temporary decline due to the contract situation. "If you look at the way Son Heung-min has been playing lately, it's questionable whether his mind is 100% still at Tottenham. Because if I were Son Heung-min, I would definitely feel dissatisfied. I'm not sure if Son Heung-min is happy now. How many years has Son Heung-min been at Tottenham? He has been Tottenham's star since day one."
Tottenham Hotspur News also reported, `Son Heung-min is unlikely to be satisfied with the way his contract situation has been handled. Son Heung-min is one of the club's most important players on and off the field. But this situation was not reflected in the way his future was handled. The 32-year-old Son Heung-min may be the reason why he hasn't been at his best latelySon Heung-min may not be psychologically stable as the club's decision is delayed.
Finally, the media outlet said, "As a result, if Tottenham want to fire their star player again, it could be a quick and easy way to sort out Son's future quickly."Whatever direction, we must quickly decide our future with Son Heung-min."
Tottenham manager Enze Postecoglou has consistently stressed that he wants Son to stay. "I don't always have a final say, but I certainly think my opinion is important to Son's contract issue," he said last September. For now, I think a one-year contract extension is part of the wider discussion about Son Heung-min. But I'm hoping Son will stay in this position for a while, given the way Son is currently leading TottenhamHe urged Son Heung-min to renew his contract, not a one-year extension contract.
However, Tottenham does not seem to have any intention of signing a multi-year contract that compensates for Son's dedication. From Son Heung-min's point of view, he will be disappointed, and he will be dissatisfied with the club's decision.
