Which team will Son Heung-min's destination be. The most active team was Fenerbahce, not the top five European leagues.

Turkiye's 'Gazette Batan' can be held on the 1st (Korea time) 'Kim Min-jae's best friend can go to Fenerbahce. Chairman Aziz Ilym asked for it.

At this point, Son Heung-min can start talks with other clubs to sign a contract for the 2025-2026 season. The contract with Tottenham has expired and it is possible to transfer as a free agent.

Rumors of Son Heung-min's transfer to Fenerbahce have already appeared several times, making it even hotter. Italy's `Gazeta Delo Sport' reportedly wants Son Heung-min, João Felix, and Nikolo Zalevski on the 31st. 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.

Icicle is reportedly working in this direction with plans to announce several very big transfers by the election.

This transfer rumor can be seen as the aftermath of Son Heung-min's recent suspension of contract renewal. Son Heung-min has already drawn a lot of attention with news on his renewal 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.

Bayern was also interested. Ekrem Konur, an expert in the Turkiye transfer market and active in ESPN and Marca (Spain), mentioned on his personal SNS that `Bayern Munich can consider recruiting Son Heung-min if Xavi Simmons fails to be recruited.' Kane also responded without hesitation to a question about a Tottenham teammate he wanted to sign for Bayern through a fan event.

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. Along with Fenerbahce, several candidates could be Son's options.

Along with the possibility of Son Heung-min's free-agent transfer, Fenerbahce has emerged as a strong candidate for recruitment. Attention is also focusing on which team Son Heung-min will negotiate with among several candidates, including other big clubs.
