Son Heung-min's value was still high for Tottenham to give up Son Heung-min.

Tottenham recently received a lot of attention for news on Son Heung-min's renewal. Son Heung-min's contract with Tottenham after this season was about a year away until summer 2025. Considering Son Heung-min's position, role as captain, and performance, Tottenham seemed to put a lot of effort into catching Son Heung-min, and signing a long-term contract seemed likely.

Even during the transfer market last winter, British media said, `Tottenham has historically not tended to offer long-term contracts to players after the age of 30, but it is ready to stop this trend to catch Son Heung-min as a new contract.'




Since the end of the season, there has been unexpected news, not news of Tottenham and Son Heung-min's renewal. There were reports that Tottenham would extend the contract for now by invoking the option of a one-year extension that was included in Son Heung-min's last contract instead of signing a long-term contract this summer.

Fans were surprised by the news of the contract extension. Contrary to expectations that Son Heung-min will be left with a long-term contract renewal, there were even talks that he could be sold. The English Football Insider quotes Alan Hutton saying, `Tottenham could get an amount that would appreciate Son if anyone tries to recruit him for an extended period of time' He said that this choice was even considered for sale.

In some British media, Son's contract is due until 2025, and the club has a one-year extension option. Tottenham have yet to make an official decision on the clause. Son Heung-min, who is set to face the final year of his contract, said he is discussing a possible extension of Tottenham's future, but it is still uncertain.




However, it does not seem easy for Tottenham to let go of Son Heung-min in the end. Son Heung-min's value, evaluated by Tottenham, still hit the sky.

Football Insider reported on the 29th (Korea time) 'Tottenham claimed to offer Son Heung-min worth £100 million a new two-year contract, including a pay rise'

Football Insider reported that `Kiss Wynes, who was Everton president, said Tottenham will offer him a new two-year contract, insisting Son will still be worth £100 million (W170 billion).'




Wynes said, `I think Tottenham will raise Son's wage, but I don't think it will increase significantly. I think it's worth £100m even though he's had a sluggish season in terms of his value. Tottenham want to score freely, and this is the manager's message and Son Heung-min is key to that. They will want to tie Son to a contract for another two years` Tottenham will catch Son Heung-min unconditionally.

If Tottenham signs a long-term contract for more than two years, Son Heung-min is expected to finish his remaining prime at Tottenham. It is not known whether Son Heung-min will extend his career afterwards, but depending on his situation, he may end his active career as a Tottenham legend.

Attention is focusing on whether Tottenham, which highly valued Son Heung-min, will really give Son a big offer this summer.
