Will this season be the end of Son Heung-min and Tottenham's companion.
There is a possibility that Son Heung-min and Tottenham will break up. On the 2nd (Korea time), England's Four Potto said, "'Son Heung-min can leave Tottenham this summer' and that Son Heung-min has not yet started negotiations with Tottenham on extending his contract." If Son Heung-min leaves the team in the summer on a free contract, there are many teams he wants.
Earlier, Football London said that `Son Heung-min and Tottenham will break up after 10 years of accompanying each other' and `Maybe leaving without invoking the extension option is a good choice for each other.' Hotspur HQ also said, `Son Heung-min has played an important role for Tottenham for a long time, but there are speculations that this will be Son's last season.'
Son Heung-min is likely to stay at Tottenham for another year. Fabrizio Romano, the highest peak in the European transfer market, said on the 23rd of last month 'Tottenham will leave Son Heung-min behind. It has triggered a one-year extension option and is expected to stay together until June 2026. The atmosphere inside the club is clear after October. We are currently awaiting formal proceedings.'

Other media then told a similar story. While fans are concerned about Son's future, Tottenham want Son to stay until he is in his late 30s. Tottenham are looking for Son Heung-min's replacement, but he is still a big asset in the locker room. 'Give Me Sports' also 'Tottenham will issue an option to extend Son's contract until 2026. Instead of offering new terms, Tottenham have proposed an option that could be extended for another year from their existing contract. He said he made the most reasonable choice for Tottenham.
Criticism of Tottenham's behavior was high. Former Tottenham scout Brian King said he could not understand Tottenham's behavior. He added, `The issue of Son Heung-min's renewal should have been resolved three to four months ago. It's ridiculous. Son Heung-min is a high-quality soccer player with a career at Tottenham, and no player has performed like this since joining the team. Looking at the recent performance, it is questionable whether Son Heung-min's heart is still 100% in Tottenham. If I were Son Heung-min, I would have felt unfair. I don't know if Son Heung-min is happy."
Tottenham's 'Hootspur News' is also 'Son Heung-min will not be satisfied with Tottenham's handling of the contract renewal situation. Son Heung-min is one of the most important players on and off the field. The way Son Heung-min's future was handled did not reflect his dedication. If you want to send Son Heung-min out, it would be right to organize it quickly.
If Son Heung-min's contract is extended by one year, it will be virtually impossible to transfer to another team in the summer of 2025. Although Son Heung-min is still an attractive target both skillfully and marketing, not many clubs will invest big money in the 33-year-old striker. As it is known, Tottenham is famous for demanding a large transfer fee when transferring players and carrying it out.
Of course, it is difficult to completely rule out a transfer. `Give Me Sports' means that Tottenham will preserve Son's value through a one-year extension option. If Son Heung-min does not sign a contract with the club, Tottenham will try to increase the transfer fee by selling him next summer. But this is entirely Tottenham's plan. It is important to know how much Tottenham has set aside for Son Heung-min's transfer fee. Negotiations do not seem easy. As Son Heung-min is also making Tottenham stay as the top priority, it is expected that several processes will be needed until a simple transfer.
In the end, the one-year option has become a constant, and the variable is the renewal of the contract. The Times says Son wants to be accompanied by Tottenham until his late 30s. However, no agreement has been reached on a new contract. Interpreting this, it seems that Tottenham has not been able to persuade Son Heung-min in the terms of the contract. Son Heung-min wants at least one plus two. That way, you can have a stable career in the future.
In this situation, love calls from big clubs are pouring in. The so-called Rebaumun, Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Bayern Munich all jumped in. It's not just that. Atletico Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United also want Son Heung-min. Saudi Arabia has been aiming to recruit Son Heung-min for a long time. If Son Heung-min is released as an FA next summer, a huge recruitment match could take place.

Son's future is a hot potato. Son Heung-min's contract with Tottenham expires next summer. Initially, Tottenham is expected to offer Son Heung-min a long-term contract renewal. There have been constant talks about renewing contracts around Christmas last year. As Son Heung-min also loves Tottenham, the contract is expected to be renewed without difficulty. But the tide has changed.
Romano said on his SNS that `Tottenham has started activating options to extend Son Heung-min's existing contract until 2026.' 'Telegraph'Tottenham will soon issue an option to extend Son's one-year contract,' he said. Tottenham then signed Son Heung-min's last contract (four years) in July 2021, and the club reportedly has the option to extend the contract for another year. 'Tottenham only needs to let Son know that it is exercising its option to extend the contract. Both Tottenham and Son Heung-min agree to activate the option.
The Daily Mail reported that `Tottenham will continue to sign Son Heung-min after the end of the season by invoking a one-year contract extension.' "Son Heung-min's existing contract is set to expire in June, and Tottenham are trying to avoid the risk of rival clubs leaving for the FA in January by talking to him," it said. TBR Football reported that `Tottenham said they have no plans to discuss a new contract with Son Heung-min.' Then 'Son Heung-min was shocked by the club's decision. The club negotiated re-signing with Son Heung-min and his camp, and although the two sides agreed, it appears that the club has suddenly changed its attitude.
Tottenham seemed hesitant to offer Son Heung-min, who will turn 33 next year, an additional contract. In addition, Son has been suffering from frequent injuries in recent years. Son Heung-min, who is in his mid-30s after 2026, seemed not sure about his physical condition. Therefore, I thought Tottenham's conclusion was a one-year extension.

But the atmosphere fluctuated again. The British Evening Standard reported on the 28th that `Tottenham will issue a one-year extension option to keep Son Heung-min on the condition that he will not sign a long-term contract agreement.' It was not that Tottenham did not offer a renewal offer, but that Son Heung-min refused.
Son Heung-min also recently "There's nothing else to say right now. "If I do what I can do for the rest of the season, do my best to help the team and do what the team needs for the team, it's the most important thing for me to show how I improve day by day, day by day, just as the future is always unpredictable," he said. "I told you before the season, but I really have a big idea to make it special, so I'm focusing on that and not paying attention to anything else."," he said, leaving a strange lingering impression.
However, since then, the two sides have reached an agreement to some extent. As it has been, Son Heung-min seemed to put more weight on staying at Tottenham. Tottenham, which did not offer a long-term contract to a player over 30 years old, started to catch Son Heung-min, and Son Heung-min showed signs of accepting it. However, in the end, it seems to end with the implementation of a one-year extension option.

Brian King, who has been a scout for Tottenham in the past, also drew a line on Son Heung-min's renewal. Tottenham News reported that `King thinks Tottenham created his own problems with Son Heung-min.' According to the media outlet, King `just like Tottenham made a guess' and"The club had to finalize Son Heung-min's renewal negotiations at least two months ago. If that had been the case, this speculation would not have been made. Son has settled in Tottenham, and his future has to be decided in the short term or in the long term." There is no reason why Son Heung-min wants to move to Manchester United. But Tottenham created a problem by not doing the right thing. He's been loyal to Tottenham, and he's still a good player."
'To the Rain & Back' is also 'Son Heung-min entered the last six months of his contract with Tottenham. Tottenham are expected to invoke the option of extending their one-year contract instead of signing Son Heung-min to a new contract amid concerns over increasing squad wages. The club expects this to be more financially reasonable.'
However, Son Heung-min has been sluggish recently, and Son Heung-min is also disappointed in Tottenham's recent attitude in the renewal negotiations, and the atmosphere is changing again. If Son Heung-min is released as an FA, the teams targeted have lined up. Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, and so-called Rebaumun all want Son Heung-min, while Atletico Madrid, Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain, Galatasaray, Fenerbahce and Saudi clubs are also drooling over Son Heung-min. Bayern is trying to recruit Son Heung-min with Harry Kane at the forefront, and Fenerbahce is actively being led by Jose Mourinho, who was with Tottenham in the past. All of them are winnable clubs, which could be a better choice than Tottenham.
There is not much time left for choice. As it is Jan. 1, Son is free to negotiate with overseas clubs.
