There were reports that Tottenham wanted to recover 22 million pounds (about 39.7 billion won) spent in 2015 when selling Son Heung-min.
British Give Me Sports reported on the 11th (Korea time) "Tottenham is ready to release three players who are receiving 445,000 pounds (about 800 million won) a week in the upcoming summer transfer market" Shockingly, one of the three was Son Heung-min.
Give Me Sports added: "Tottenham plans to carefully consider reorganizing its squad considering the possibility of selling Son Heung-min. Despite Son being a Tottenham icon and a loyal player to the club for years, the club are willing to let Son go", he explained.
The above media went on to say that the decision to send Son Heung-min out will undoubtedly be the most important decision. It may vary depending on the degree of interest in experienced Son Heung-min. In Saudi Arabia, there was a clear interest in Son Heung-min. If interest becomes more concrete, it can be considered carefully. This was unimaginable in the past," he added.
Upon hearing the news, the British TBR Football also dealt with rumors of Tottenham's sale of Son Heung-min. The above media outlet stated that "With the advent of Mattis Tell, a major change may be imminent for Tottenham. Give Me Sports reported that Son Heung-min, 32, is open to selling players, even though he was such a loyal player at Tottenham."
Regarding rumors of Son Heung-min's sale, TBR Football "Of course, it won't be that simple. Son Heung-min is on a high salary, and Tottenham will probably still want to recoup at least £22m paid to the forward in 2015Tottenham predicted that Son Heung-min would want more than £22 million in transfer fees.
Even if Tottenham puts Son Heung-min up for sale on the transfer market, the soccer transfer market cannot be sold without the player's consent. It is true that interest in Son Heung-min in Saudi Arabia has continued since 2023, but Son has already refused to transfer to Saudi Arabia.
Regarding this, the sale of Son Heung-min may depend on the degree of interest of Son Heung-min. Saudi Arabia says it is really interested in Son Heung-min, but we have to see if it can draw Son's attention."
TBR Football claimed that Tottenham, which can fully recruit Tell from Bayern Munich, could consider Tell as a replacement. 'Son Heung-min did not show his best performance this season. Partly because of the time I had to compete at the age of 32. Son Heung-min is still an important figure within the club and is a seasoned player who deserves a trophy before leaving Tottenham. But if Tel is fully recruited, he could be Son's long-term replacement on the left flank" he evaluated.
How does Tottenham rate Son Heung-min's 10-year commitment. If indeed the reports from Give Me Sports are true, there will be a huge controversy. This is because Son Heung-min's loyalty for Tottenham over the past decade has been at a different level.
Tottenham had their prime in the mid-2010s with Son Heung-min. However, Tottenham has been on a downward trend since the 2019-2020 season. After Mauricio Pochettino left, it collapsed little by little as Jose Mourinho and Nunu Espiritu Santo. He briefly rebounded with Son Heung-min, the league's top scorer under Antonio Conte, but even that didn't last long.
Despite this crisis, Son Heung-min signed a long-term contract with Tottenham. Son Heung-min is left for Tottenham, who abandoned even Harry Kane. Since last season, he has been the captain of Tottenham. Son Heung-min is also going through a difficult time as Tottenham is in crisis this season, and rumors of his release are coming out immediately. Tottenham's problem now is not Son Heung-min.
In addition, excessive arrows are focused on captain and ace Son Heung-min as Tottenham had its worst time this season. In the meantime, Tottenham chose only a one-year extension, not a renewal contract with Son Heung-min. It can only be explained as a plan to consider additional renewal depending on how Son Heung-min performs in the future.
