'Businessman' Tottenham eventually extended Son Heung-min's contract. It's only a year, not two years. In the end, it seems that Son Heung-min will be sold to another team for a reasonable price within next year. Suggestions from clubs that can win, such as Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, are likely to disappear. In fact, Son Heung-min's first victory cannot be expected until next year.
Tottenham announced on its official website on the 7th (Korea time) that it has extended its contract with Son Heung-min until 2026 with pleasure" he said.
At the same time, Tottenham focused on Son Heung-min's record at the club for about 10 years.
Son Heung-min, who joined Tottenham in August 2015, has grown into one of the world's leading footballers while with Tottenham. His record within the club is all-time. While playing for Tottenham for a long time, Son played in 431 games. This ranks 11th in Tottenham's record for most appearances. During this period, Son scored a total of 169 goals.

Tottenham added: "Son Heung-min has carved his name deep into Tottenham's club history and scored numerous iconic goals since being named captain in August last year"Since scoring in his first Europa League match against Karabakh in September 2015, he scored his first goal against Crystal Palace at Tottenham's new stadium in April 2019, and the next week he was the star of his first Champions League goal against Manchester City."
Son Heung-min led Tottenham to its first Champions League final in 2019. In December of the same year, he became the first Asian player to win the FIFA Puskas Award by dribbling more than 80 meters from the defense of his ally in the match against Burnley.
Son Heung-min scored 23 goals in the 2021-2022 season of the English Premier League (EPL). Tottenham also made a big contribution to playing in the Champions League.
Recently, he scored his 125th Premier League goal and entered the EPL's all-time top scorer 'Top 20'. In this season's match against Southampton, he recorded his 68th help, becoming the most helpful player in Tottenham's history.

However, it is pointed out that Son Heung-min's contract extension can't just be laughed at. This is because big clubs such as Barcelona have continued to hear that they are seeking to recruit Son Heung-min as a free agent (FA). In the current situation where it cannot be recruited as an FA, the possibility of Barcelona withdrawing its recruitment is 99%.
There were even claims that Son Heung-min counter-proposed him to Barcelona.
Spain's Mundo de Portivo said on the same day that `The player named in Barcelona through the broker is Tottenham's Son Heung-min.' It was also claimed that Barcelona had already contacted Son Heung-min, whose contract expires on June 30th," he reported. The reporter who broke the news was Fernando Polo, a reporter familiar with Barcelona-related news.
The media also quoted a report by the British newspaper The Sun and said Barcelona may have already contacted Son Heung-min.

The Daily Mail also reported on the 6th that Barcelona is interested in bringing Son Heung-min. Barcelona is currently struggling with financial difficulties, so Son Heung-min, who is about to become an FA, is considered the best option.
Tottenham's renewal is intended not to release Son Heung-min as an FA. Son Heung-min is still a player who helps the team commercially enough and is a star player who has actually brought a lot of profits. In other words, Tottenham has been held back at a time when such a player can easily go to the winning team.
Son will turn 34 next year. Maybe the last team in his career will be 'Tottenham of no spectators'.
