It was an interview where Son Heung-min's love for Tottenham was felt. Tottenham fans also cheered for Son Heung-min, whose contract was extended and even left a loyal interview.
Unfortunately, however, Tottenham did not offer Son Heung-min to renew his contract. The one-year extension proposal will extend Tottenham and Son Heung-min's companion for another year, but Son's future will be uncertain a few months later.
Tottenham is expected to decide whether to renew the contract after looking at Son Heung-min's performance from 2024-2025 to next season. If Son Heung-min's performance is not good, it is not known what decision Tottenham will make. In other words, Son Heung-min, who spent his prime only at Tottenham, could be thrown out.
One thing is certain: Rumors of transfers to various big clubs, which have been rampant recently, have been canceled. There were several big clubs targeting Son Heung-min, but the prerequisite was that Son Heung-min would be released as a free agent after this season. As Tottenham invokes a one-year extension, Son Heung-min will not be released as a free agent until the summer of 2026.
The British Telegraph, which was the first to report that Tottenham had invoked the one-year extension clause, also reported that `Tottenham activated a one-year option on Son's contract, which eliminated hopes that rival clubs could sign Son on a free agent in the summerSon Heung-min's transfer possibility has become very low, he said.
One of the rival clubs was really Barcelona. Until the one-year extension was announced, rumors of Son Heung-min's transfer to Barcelona were burning. Spain's Mundo Deportivo said `Another player whose name has been offered to Barcelona through a broker is Tottenham's Son Heung-minSon Heung-min has said he has offered Barcelona the reverse.
It seems true that there was a conversation between Barcelona and Son Heung-min. The Telegraph also said that Barcelona was truly interested in Son Heung-min "Barcelona was one of the European teams that viewed Son Heung-min as the Boseman rule at the end of this season. But with less than six months to go before his contract expires, Tottenham confirmed to extend his contract for another year," he said.
Meanwhile, Son Heung-min is expected to make history for his club and league after playing for Tottenham for 11 years. Son Heung-min, who is on the verge of scoring the third place in Tottenham's history. Son Heung-min, who ranks 18th in EPL history with the most goals, currently has 125 goals. It is expected to rise to 16th place in the league by next season. The record of 17th place in the league's all-time help will be within the top 10.
