ESPN mentioned Son Heung-min's recent situation, form, and tactics, and did not leave out the contract situation. ESPN said, `Son Heung-min is not a fussy player, but according to the news, there was considerable disappointment on the part of the player that there was no discussion on the new contract at all. Tottenham have decided to invoke a one-year option instead of a new contract, and now he is tied to the team until the summer of 2026. Re-evaluating all emotions after 12 months is a logical approach for a financially frugal club like Tottenham if they are removed from the decision. However, it is difficult to understand for Son Heung-min and many fans.
In the end, uncertainty about Son Heung-min's future was caused by Tottenham's attitude to renew the contract, and Son Heung-min also seems to be disappointed as this situation continues. As a player who has devoted 10 years to Tottenham, Son Heung-min can also be pleased with the situation in which he still has to be evaluated as an option instead of a long-term contract renewal in his prime.
News of Son Heung-min's stalled renewal has already appeared several times from last summer to recently. England's The Times reported on the 27th that Tottenham wants Son Heung-min to renew his contract and remain one of the best players in the club's history. However, as Son Heung-min is skeptical about extending his contract, negotiations are difficult.

Moreover, this is not the first time that Son Heung-min has been transferred to Bayern. In December last year, British media also asked which of Tottenham's players would like to bring to Bayern if given a choice at a recent fan visit event. According to the news, Kane replied by referring to Son Heung-min. Son Heung-min said, 'I can theoretically perform well at Bayern because I can play both left wingers and strikers.'" When asked at the event about a Tottenham teammate he wanted to sign for Bayern, Kane answered without hesitation "Sony".
He also added how much synergy the two players can create if they stick together. TBR Football is the best English Premier League (EPL) duo of all time. Considering how deadly the two players were at Tottenham, it is only natural that Kane wants to be reunited.
Ekrem Konur, an expert in the Turkiye transfer market and active in ESPN and Marca (Spain), also reported on his personal SNS in December last year that `Bayern Munich can consider recruiting Son Heung-min if Xavi Simmons fails to be recruited.'

Bayern will reportedly reorganize its offense next season. It is reported that it plans to sell players who receive high weekly wages such as Leroy Sane and Kingsley Comang but have low efficiency and bring Leverkusen ace Florian Birz. Simmons, a striker from Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), is one of them. Simmons has already been active as a member of RB Leipzig since last season, attracting the attention of several clubs, including Bayern, Arsenal, and Barcelona.
Bayern have also prepared an alternative to Simmons going to another club. It's Son Heung-min. Son Heung-min's contract with Tottenham expires after this season. There is a possibility that Tottenham will not leave the club next summer as they still have a one-year extension option, but Tottenham has not opened their mouth about Son Heung-min's invocation of the extension option. If Tottenham do not invoke the extension option, Son will be free to negotiate with other clubs starting in January.
It is attractive enough to bring Son Heung-min to Bayern without a transfer fee. Tottenham is receiving a lower weekly salary than its existing resources such as Sane and Comang, and his teamwork with front-line striker Kane can be described as the best offensive duo in the history of the English Premier League (EPL). The two players made 47 goals for Tottenham (23 goals for Kane, 24 assists for Son Heung-min, 23 assists) and boasted their reputation as the most goal-scoring duo in EPL history, surpassing Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard's 36 goals for Chelsea (24 goals, 12 assists for Drogba, 12 goals and 24 assists for Lampard).

Moreover, the familiarity of the German stage and the presence of Korean colleagues are also great. Son Heung-min made his professional debut in Germany. After going through Hamburg Youth, he appeared on the Hamburg first team stage and stepped on the professional stage. After that, he moved to Leverkusen and grew steadily. Currently, Bayern has a teammate of the Korean national team, Kim Min-jae, so there is no problem adapting to the team. England's team talk positively evaluated that Son Heung-min's contract with Tottenham will end at the end of this season, and he has played in Hamburg and Leverkusen, so Bayern can recruit him and become a useful asset if possible.
As Kane, I can't help but miss Son Heung-min. Except for Jamal Musiala, Bayern's second line this season lacks a striker who will properly play with Kane. Moreover, if a partner who can read his or her mind only with his or her eyes joins Bayern, Kane's influence will inevitably increase.
As for Son Heung-min, considering Tottenham's lukewarm attitude toward renewing the contract, a transfer to Bayern could be an important decision. Initially, Tottenham announced a renewal offer to Son Heung-min, but it is reported that negotiations are not proceeding because they do not properly hand over the offer. Rather, there was a series of news that they were seeking to recruit replacements.

The British Spurs Web reported that Son is more likely to leave the team this year or next, adding that the Tottenham scout is looking for a new player who can immediately replace Son on the offensive line. The club is reportedly making plans for life after Son Heung-min's retirement. Yang Min-hyuk joins, but Lee is looking for a wide range of options to strengthen his first team immediately as he is considered a future starting player.'"
Along with Tottenham's uncertain attitude, speculation is increasing that Son Heung-min may consider a new challenge, not staying at Tottenham. Tottenham will need a more attractive proposal than Bayern in order to turn Son Heung-min's disappointment back.
