If Son Heung-min leaves Tottenham, what kind of team will be the next destination. From Jose Mourinho's Fenerbahce to Manchester United, they are showing interest.
Italy's Gazeta Delo Sport' reported on the 31st (Korea time) that Mourinho wants his jewelry back.
Gazeta Deloitte is known to want Son Heung-min, João Felix, and Nikolo Zalevski. Recruitment targets may also want Mourinho's love call. Son Heung-min has never won a match at Tottenham. If Mourinho, who was with Tottenham from 2019 to 2021, calls him, he can dream of winning after transfer. Mourinho also said Son Heung-min can demonstrate his decisive power in Fenerbahce.
Son Heung-min has already been coached by Mourinho from 2019 to 2021. Son Heung-min was able to take a leap forward as the best striker in the English Premier League under Mourinho. He has recorded a lot of playing time, scoring 29 goals and 25 assists in 70 games.

This is not the first time that the possibility of a reunion between Mourinho and Son Heung-min has been mentioned. In June 2024, some media outlets, including Turkiye's then-Takvim, announced that current chairman Ali Kochi appointed world-renowned coach Jose Mourinho ahead of the election of Fenerbahce chairman, and Aziz Icicle was also preparing to fight back as his rival. Icicle is reportedly working in this direction with plans to announce several very big transfers by the election.
Former President Yildm is said to have allocated and raised more than 40 million euros (about 61 billion won) for the transfer, and met with Tottenham and Brazilian striker Gabriel Jeju for the transfer of Korean national team striker Son Heung-min. Fenerbahce's presidential election will be held from June 8-9'Illcim, who is seeking Fenerbahce's chairmanship ahead of the upcoming election, explained that he is preparing to recruit Son Heung-min and other large-scale players. However, at that time, Chairman Daniel Levy stepped up to quell rumors of Son Heung-min's transfer, and Son Heung-min remained at Tottenham in the transfer market last summer.
For Son Heung-min, a reunion with his teacher may be welcome, but a sudden transfer to the Turkiye stage may not be welcome. It is also regrettable that he is still good enough to leave the English stage for the periphery of Europe.
However, Fenerbahce is not all of the transfer rumors. There is still a possibility of transferring to a big club. The United District of England said, "'Manchester United can benefit from Son's important decision' and that 'Manchester United can benefit from this if Son makes an important decision not to decide on a contract. Accordingly, Son Heung-min can be brought in for free. Son Heung-min is heading into the final period of his career, but he is still the right player for the Hoobeng Amorim's system in the short term,' he said, referring to Manchester United's interest. For Son Heung-min, the transfer to Manchester United, a big club on the EPL stage that is familiar, may be more attractive.

This transfer rumor can be seen as the aftermath of Son Heung-min's stagnant contract renewal. There has been news that Son Heung-min has recently become dissatisfied with his contract renewal 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.

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.'

Along with Son Heung-min's sluggishness, interest in renewing contracts and transferring was bound to grow.
