Tottenham can't afford an ace player next season.
The British Telegraph predicted on the 28th (Korea time) that Tottenham will have to sell players in the summer transfer market despite the fact that it may not violate the revenue and sustainability regulations (PSR) even if it spends more than 200 million pounds (about 384.8 billion won).
Currently, most Premier League (EPL) clubs are trying not to break PSR. This is because losses of more than 105 million pounds (about 2018 billion won) over three years could result in severe penalties such as points reduction. Tottenham, on the other hand, has remained financially stable, so it does not violate PSR even if it spends a lot of money at the moment.
Despite the good times to invest, Tottenham can't afford to spend money. The Telegraph said: "'With no significant funding from owner Enic, Tottenham are expected to struggle in the transfer window this summer. This could have a serious impact on coach Enze Postecoglou or the new coach.
It is predicted that it is difficult to properly protect the existing power. The media reported that `Tottenham may have to sell one of its key players, including Atletico Madrid target Christian Romero, to raise funds for the transfer. The club's net transfer debt was 279.3 million pounds (about 537.4 billion won),' he said, predicting that he will be able to bring in new players only when key players like Romero are sold.
The Telegraph later noted that players such as Hishalisson and Yves Bissouma, along with Romero, are likely to be cleared. Hishalisson and Bissouma are not very helpful to the team, so it doesn't matter if they are sold, but the problem is that these players are not the players who will earn a huge transfer fee.
The sale of Hishalysong, Bissouma and even Romero requires additional investment to become stronger. But Tottenham can't afford to do that. Tottenham is also dealing with the players' salary system very tightly, so it will inevitably fall behind in the competition to recruit players, but if there is no money to invest in transfer fees, it will naturally be difficult to strengthen its power.
Under the EPL system, if Tottenham had its worst season, investment should be made to improve it, but Tottenham is thinking of closing its wallet. It is of course important to protect the long-term future of the club, but if the performance is not supported, the popularity will fall. When popularity declines, the team's profits naturally decrease, and as a result, this flow only adversely affects the club's future.
It is truly surprising that the team, which was on the verge of falling into the relegation zone with 16th place in the league's performance, is not considering investment to strengthen its power, but only thinking about how to save money. It is felt in this way that Tottenham does not have a strong will to win the championship.
There is no reason for Son Heung-min to remain in such a team. At the end of next season, Son Heung-min is 34 years old. No matter how much Son Heung-min is, his skills are bound to decline. It will be the best scenario to lead Tottenham to the championship, but the scenario of staying in a team that does not intend to win is too painful. Even if Son Heung-min, who has already committed enough, leaves the team, there will be more encouragement than criticism.
