Son Heung-min's future is drawing attention again as the surprising news is heard that he is not sure about renewing his contract with Tottenham.
In January, Tottenham extended Son Heung-min's contract for another year, which runs from 2024 to 2025. Tottenham invoked it with the club's authority because the four-year contract with Son Heung-min, which he signed in the summer of 2021, included a one-year extension that the club could trigger. There were complaints from fans that Son Heung-min and Tottenham did not renew their contracts.
The contract has been extended by one year, but Son's future remains uncertain. Looking at Tottenham's club management so far, a key player who is not willing to renew his contract has sold the player relentlessly if he has only one year left on his contract. Harry Kane left for Bayern Munich like that last summer.
If the atmosphere goes by now, Son Heung-min could be in a similar situation. This is because there was news that Son Heung-min was also thinking of not staying at Tottenham. The Times reported on the 26th (Korean time) "Tottenham will not rush to life after Son Heung-min"When he published an article titled ", he talked about the current negotiations between Tottenham and Son Heung-min."
The media reported that `Tottenham is trying to transform itself into a young team focused on prospects. What role Son Heung-min will play in the team in the future is an important issue. Tottenham want Son to retire here but are unable to convince Son to extend his contract, which has only a year left in the summer" he said.
There was no additional comment on the contract situation between Son Heung-min and Tottenham, but speculation is that Tottenham's offer is likely not to have been occupied by Son Heung-min. There are three major cases in which players refuse to offer the club to renew their contracts. It's when you didn't like your salary, have a different idea about the contract period, or finally you want to leave the team.
For this reason, rumors of Son Heung-min's transfer continue to emerge. England's The Hard Tackle said on the 27th "Bayern Munich is watching Son Heung-min's situation. They are interested in recruiting Son Heung-min," he reported.
The media said, `Son Heung-min may break up with Tottenham after the 2024-2025 season. Son Heung-min, a veteran striker, is in the final stages of his career. You can choose to play for a team with greater ambitions. Several big clubs are watching him closely. Bayern is one of the teams eager to recruit Son Heung-min.
The Hard Tackle said Son Heung-min is full of aspirations to win the championship, adding that Bayern, which has a solid sports project for Son Heung-min, who does not have a championship trophy, seems to be the front-runner in recruitment. Bayern coach Vincent Kompany wants to work with an experienced player. Son Heung-min can add speed from the side, and scoring will make the side more threatening. Living in Hamburg and Bayer Leverkusen, it won't take long to adjust" he observed.
If Bayern aims for Son Heung-min, it can reunite with Harry Kane. There is also a picture of him sharing the same rice with Kim Min-jae, a junior member of the national team. However, so far, it is close to the rumors that are spreading only in low-reliability media.
The reason why such rumors continue to be mass-produced is because Son Heung-min's interest in the future is great. The same goes for Tottenham media. Spurs Webb said on the 28th that the re-signing of Rodrigo Bentancur is a move that emphasizes the club's desire to keep Tottenham's key players. Several other players in the squad are also eligible to sign new contracts,' he said, citing five players Tottenham must re-sign.
Of course, Son Heung-min was included. The media reported "Son Heung-min had a hard time. As Matistel was mentioned as Son Heung-min's successor, some said he would replace him. But experience is very important in the current squad. Currently, only Son Heung-min and Ben Davies have spent more than seven years at Tottenham. It is tempting to prioritize young talent, but it is very important to have an experienced captain in the locker room,' he said, urging Son to renew his contract.
There is no Tottenham striker who can surpass Son Heung-min in terms of skills. Spursweb also admitted. "Son Heung-min remains Tottenham's best striker and has already reached double digits with 10 in each category in both goals and assists this season. His contract is due to expire in 2026, and a long-term contract may not be possible, but a one-year extension will be welcomed by allFans will also welcome the additional one-year extension, he said.
However, a one-year contract will not be enough for Son Heung-min. Son Heung-min has a clear affection for Tottenham, but of course he will want to be rewarded for his dedication. Players who are in their mid-30s consider contract duration as important as salary. If the option is to extend it for only one year, Son Heung-min may rather want to listen to other clubs' offers after he becomes a free agent.
