It was argued out of nowhere that Son Heung-min and Tottenham should say goodbye.
The British Guardian mentioned Son Heung-min on the 23rd (Korea time) when it predicted 10 players who could leave the Premier League (EPL) this summer. The media began by saying, `Son Heung-min has always been a legend for Tottenham, but now that he has lifted the trophy for the first time since 2008, his status has become even stronger.'
The Guardian pointed out that `Tottenham extended Son's contract with Son until the summer of 2026 in January, but this was possibly a move to protect his values.' Son Heung-min has recently been embroiled in rumors of a transfer to the Saudi Arabian League, and has had a hard time this season, scoring only seven goals in 30 league games and not being included in the Europa League (UEL) final selection list, he said.
Also, from the club's point of view, it may be tempting to clean up the highest salary in the team, and fans will regret the departure of captain Son Heung-min, but this summer feels the most appropriate time to part ways for both the club and the players. Son Heung-min's most beautiful farewell to his achievements at Tottenham may be now, he said, adding to the possibility of a breakup.
It is a shocking prospect. Son Heung-min has been sluggish this season, but that doesn't mean he's not competitive in the EPL right away. In the first place, Son Heung-min also had the aftermath as Tottenham did not show a good performance in the league this season. Injuries at the beginning and the end of the season also hampered his performance.
If Tottenham begins to show stable performance next season and Son Heung-min starts the season in good physical condition, he will be able to show enough skills, if not in his prime. This perspective is the future interpreted from Son Heung-min's point of view. Son Heung-min may now want a new challenge after leaving Tottenham without regret because it doesn't mean much to achieve more at Tottenham.
Also, Tottenham can have a different idea. If Son Heung-min, the captain who has become the club's all-time legend, is rejected, of course, he will be criticized, but Tottenham is a team that has always prioritized financial perspective over romance.
As the Guardian said, Tottenham extended Son's contract by one year might not have been to accompany Son for a long time. If Tottenham really intended to retire with Son Heung-min, it is preposterous that it should have created a negotiating table for a new contract renewal, not a one-year contract extension.
Son Heung-min's future is expected to be discussed in earnest after Tottenham decides whether to leave Postecoglou or what kind of coach will come if he breaks up with Postecoglou.
