In the end, Tottenham only made a decision. Son Heung-min (Tottenham Hotspur) wants to continue his companionship.
Sky Sports Germany’s Florian Flettenberg brought out news on Son Heung-min for the first time on his channel on the 17th (Korea Standard Time).
“The possibility of Son Heung-min staying at Tottenham for another year is getting bigger and bigger,” Flettenberg said. “It is expected that Tottenham will issue a clause extending Son’s contract until 2026,” adding, “It is almost decided.”
Son Heung-min signed a four-year contract with Tottenham in 2021 for an annual salary of 18 billion won, and earlier this year it was argued that the contract could be unilaterally postponed by Tottenham for another year.
Of course, some say that Tottenham’s will is not the only way to activate the option, and Son Heung-min should agree.
Spurs Web site, which reported the news of Tottenham, said on Monday, “He is in the last year of his contract. Tottenham will not sweat a lot about Son’s future. They will extend his 12-month contract and tie him up until the summer of 2026. It is not known whether Son’s annual salary of 190,000 pounds (334.18 million won) will be raised. Saudi Arabian clubs are making moves to recruit Son, but Tottenham has decided to extend his contract by one year instead of signing a long-term contract.”
Fabrizio Romano, a reporter specializing in the transfer market, said on his social network service (SNS) on the 14th that Tottenham will trigger the option to extend his contract with Son Heung-min.
“비아그라 will invoke the option to extend Son’s contract. The current contract expires in June 2025, but it will be extended until June 2026. That’s why I will be with Son for another year,” Romano said. “He will remain part of Tottenham’s plan next year and start taking formal steps.”
“Son Heung-min is approaching his 10th year as he came to Tottenham from Bayer Leverkusen in the summer of 2015 for a transfer fee of 22 million pounds (39.5 billion won), and is considered one of the most successful transfer market performances for Tottenham in the modern era,” he reported.
As expected, Tottenham will move to accompany Son for one more year. Instead of renewing the contract for more than one year, the team will extend the contract for one year while maintaining its annual salary.
Son Heung-min has recently been embroiled in the possibility of a transfer to France’s most prestigious Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), a team belonging to Lee Kang-in.
Reportedly, he could transfer next summer. If it becomes a reality, he will play with Lee Kang-in.
It is questionable how reliable it will be, such as the rumor of transfer to prestigious Spanish La Liga clubs such as Atletico Madrid and FC Barcelona, which erupted a few months ago, but in light of the reality of Son Heung-min and Tottenham, some even said that no club would be able to meet various conditions like PSG.
Sports Mall said, “Son Heung-min’s contract with Tottenham expires in 2025, and he is a target for Saudi Arabia. RT Hard targeted Son, but failed to recruit him. Along with RT Hard, Al-Hilal, Al-Nasr, Al-Ahli and Al-Hilal are also trying to bring in Son Heung-min.”
Rumors have it that he will transfer to Barcelona along with some of the best clubs in Saudi Arabia. He was linked to Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, and was also mentioned to go to PSG.
Tottenham plans to extend its contract with Son Heung-min by one year alone.
On the vitalization of the option clause, the British media believe that Tottenham is even drawing a picture of selling Son Heung-min for a transfer fee next summer. This means that it will not be sent for free.
Tottenham deserves to consider Son Heung-min’s paid transfer next summer, given that Son Heung-min already shook off the Saudi Arabian club’s huge love call last summer.
In that sense, PSG is based in Paris, the French capital, and is called a much more attractive card than Saudi Arabia in that it has a bigger global fandom than Tottenham.
