Son Heung-min (32, Tottenham) has yet to receive a definite answer from Tottenham about renewing his contract. The same goes for the option of a one-year extension.
The Boseman rule applies to Son Heung-min.
The Boseman Rule is a European soccer governing body that protects players' rights. It was caused by the expiration of the Belgian professional league Jean-Marc Boseman's contract in 1990.
The key point is that if the team does not make an offer to renew the contract six months before the expiration of the contract, it may enter into a pre-contract with another club' is true.
Son Heung-min is under contract with Tottenham until June 30, 2025. In other words, if Tottenham does not exercise the option of a one-year extension before Jan. 1, Son Heung-min can negotiate a contract with other teams as an FA.
In the end, there was no substance to the option of a one-year extension, formed inside Tottenham, and therefore raised by local British media. Dramatically, Tottenham may offer a one-year extension option, but it is true that it is unclear at this point.
In the meantime, leading media, including Europe's top transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, predicted that Tottenham would sign a one-year extension option with Son Heung-min. Furthermore, there were reports that Tottenham was planning a 1+2 contract to sign a two-year contract after signing an option contract for a one-year extension. However, contrary to reports, Tottenham's actions have not been supported.
Tottenham added a one-year extension option at the time of their last contract renewal with Son Heung-min. If Tottenham activates, Son Heung-min cannot transfer to another team until May 2026.
As a result, prestigious clubs such as AT Madrid, Barcelona, and Bayern Munich, who wanted Son Heung-min, had difficulty recruiting Son Heung-min.
If the one-year extension option was triggered, the recruitment could only be made after negotiating the transfer fee with Tottenham. Tottenham is a negotiating genius, and its demanding negotiating partner Daniel Levy is holding out.
Son Heung-min had a legendary performance for Tottenham for nine seasons. However, there is no respect for legend for Chairman Levy, who is synonymous with the policy of being cheap.
Rather, the focus is on how to use Son Heung-min to receive the most efficient transfer fee.

However, Son's goal-scoring ability and the productivity of goals and help are still high. Therefore, Tottenham seemed to lean toward watching Son Heung-min for another year after proposing an option to extend it by one year.
However, Tottenham are not moving. After January 1, Son Heung-min can sign a pre-contract with other clubs.
In this case, he can accelerate his recruitment from AT Madrid, Bayern Munich, and Barcelona, which still highly value Son. Son Heung-min, who has no transfer fee, is a very attractive target for recruitment.
