Son Heung-min's future is also being hampered by Tottenham manager Enze Postecoglou's poor performance.
Matt Roe, a reporter for the British Telegraph, said on the afternoon of the 12th (Korea time) "Tottenham had to put their transfer plans on hold this summer amid uncertainty over the appointment of Postecoglou and whether they will play in the European tournament next seasonTottenham has not even been able to establish a transfer market plan, he said. Matt is one of the reporters who is very familiar with the news about Tottenham.
Reporter Matt said, `Uncertainty about Tottenham also affects the current decision on the squad. Sources believe defender Christian Romero could leave the team if he fails to qualify for Europe and may have to reduce the size of the first-team squad if he competes only domestically next season"The club has not even made a decision on what to do with the existing players," he said.
Postecoglou has lost trust in the club enough to be dismissed even if he wins the Europa League. In other words, it has become difficult for Tottenham to offer Son Heung-min a renewal offer because Postecoglou may leave. It's really because if the next coach doesn't want Son Heung-min. If the new head coach wants a player from the club who can replace Son Heung-min, it could be a loss for Son Heung-min and Tottenham if he re-signs Son Heung-min.
Son Heung-min is also in a position where he cannot help but think about the future. As I turn 33, I have to say something from the club as I look at my mid-30s, but I can't hear anything for the time being. Speaking at a press conference ahead of the match against Newcastle, Postecoglou said, `We have triggered the extension contract. All problems will be resolved in due course. I don't think this is the time to consider that"It's not the right time to talk about the situation related to the player's contract." The answer was this, but Coach Postecoglou is not currently qualified to tell the club about the future of the player.
He also "By the end of the year, there will be a point to look back on the current situation of our squad and make plans for the future. If I were here. And I'll think about the situation next year and beyond. I'm sure Sony will be involved in the discussion"I knew I didn't know what the future was going to be.
European clubs have already begun to move for the next transfer window. Even if a club contacts Son Heung-min while showing him a good offer, it is quite embarrassing for Son Heung-min even if he wants to transfer because his position has not been decided whether Tottenham will sell Son Heung-min.
In the 2022-2023 season, when he met Postecoglou, Son Heung-min became the captain and received more recognition as he filled the empty spot where Harry Kane left with his ability. However, Tottenham has fallen into an all-time slump this season, and Postecoglou is also having a difficult season with Son Heung-min as he failed to properly use him.
If I had met a head coach who understood Son Heung-min's role and ability properly, I could have performed better. Tottenham may also have offered Son Heung-min better treatment in consideration of renewing his contract rather than extending it by one year. In many ways, Postecoglou's presence this season is not helping Son at all.
Now, even the BBC and Telegraph, leading British media outlets, are saying that the club should actively consider selling Son Heung-min. Considering who brought on the reality that Son Heung-min, who should seek to win, is being treated as a clumsy player, Coach Postecoglou's stake is at least large this season.
