It was argued that Son Heung-min could leave the team this summer despite a one-year extension with Tottenham.
The British Spurs Web reported on the 11th (Korea time) 'Son Heung-min did not get the contract he wanted'
Spursweb said `Son Heung-min's long-term future at Tottenham remains uncertain due to this extension. Tottenham decided to invoke this extension option without talks with the players. Son Heung-min was fantastic in his commitment to Tottenham, and he was loyal. However, it cannot be denied that this season's performance is poor in every way. If Son Heung-min wants a three-year contract, he must prove that he can contribute steadily for the rest of the season.

Tottenham announced on the club's official website on the 7th that it would extend Son Heung-min's contract by one year. Tottenham said 'We exercised an option to extend Son's contract period until 2025. I'm happy to let you know about this. Son Heung-min, 32, joined Tottenham back in August 2015. He grew into a global star during his time with us. "He is a great player for Tottenham." Son Heung-min said of his one-year extension. With the invocation of the extension option, Son Heung-min's contract, which was originally scheduled to expire in the summer of 2025, is expected to continue until the summer of 2026.
Son Heung-min said through the club, `It's a great thank you. I love the time I spent here with this team. I spent almost 10 years here. We are proud to extend our contract for another year."
Son Heung-min left Leverkusen through the transfer market in the summer of 2015 and wore a Tottenham uniform. He struggled through difficult times in his debut season and even thought about returning to the German stage, but the result of patience was tremendous growth. Son Heung-min, who has been the mainstay of Tottenham since his second year, has spent as many as 10 seasons at Tottenham until this season, growing into a living legend for the club. Son was proud of the importance of these times.

There is also a lot of responsibility in the argument. This club is the dream of all English Premier League (EPL) players. It is a place where children dream. As a captain, you always have to go one step ahead and set an example. You have to be a leader and do the right thing all the time," he said, expressing a sense of responsibility.
Son Heung-min also strengthened his will to rebound against Tottenham's recent slump. He "Sometimes it's hard and burdensome, but you have to ask yourself to do that all the time. I think I can bounce back even when I have a hard time. It's time for us to go back up. If there is a bad time, a good time will surely come."
Tottenham manager Enze Postecoglou also told a press conference against Liverpool about Son Heung-min's extension, saying, `It's really good. He has already had an outstanding career in this team. It's been a big part of the last decade. It had a huge impact on the club and EPL. The goal is to finish his career at Tottenham with a win."

Son Heung-min has attracted a lot of attention since last summer due to the issue of renewing his contract with Tottenham. Son Heung-min, who has devoted himself to Tottenham for the past 10 years, is expected to have no problem renewing his contract at all. Prospects that Tottenham will renew the contract were also poured out throughout the summer transfer market.
Tottenham's exclusive reporter also predicted that he would stay. When asked about Son Heung-min's contract renewal in October last year, Tottenham reporter Alasdier Gold of England Football London said, "There is an option to extend the contract until 2026. 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.
However, with the sudden news of the failure to renew the contract, everything began to shake. 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. Tottenham is silent on both the extension option and the renewal of the contract, so more attention was paid to Son Heung-min's future and choice. Several teams drew attention by linking them with Son Heung-min's name. 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.

However, with this one-year extension, Son Heung-min's situation is back in the fog. In this situation, if Tottenham pushes for Son Heung-min's sale after a year's extension, the regret will inevitably grow as it may have to head to Saudi Arabia or the outskirts of Europe rather than to European big clubs.
Son Heung-min has already turned down a 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 43.3 billion won) every season for four years by the Saudi league RT Hard.' Son Heung-min reportedly refused and stayed at Tottenham.
Attention is expected to continue until this summer's transfer market on how Tottenham's plans for Son Heung-min will develop.
