'Heung-min, let's play soccer with me~'
The atmosphere in the transfer market surrounding Tottenham Hotspur's 'Living Legend' Son Heung-min is changing rapidly. Rumors of a transfer are growing as Thomas Frank, the new coach of the team, is strongly pushing for the recruitment of Brian Mbomo, his lover, and Son Heung-min's position is likely to disappear naturally.
Of course, coach Frank did not officially say he wanted to send Son Heung-min out. Some say that Frank wants Son Heung-min to stay. Gold Football London reporter Alesdare, who is familiar with Tottenham's news, said in his podcast on the 13th (Korean time) that Son Heung-min may be suitable for Frank's two-top strike tactics if he recovers from his injury. I can step up with Dominic Solanke"If Son Heung-min plays the role of a striker under Frank, he could score more goals." This means that Son Heung-min's stay can further revive Frank's tactics.
In this regard, Football Insider also wants to have a say in Son's future. He said he wants Son to stay.
However, at the same time, the prospect that Tottenham wants to sell Son Heung-min in the transfer market this summer, the last chance to earn a transfer fee, and use it to fund the recruitment of Mbomo that Frank wants is gaining traction. In addition, there have already been several reports that the Saudi Arabian professional team is trying to recruit Son Heung-min with a large amount of money.
In the meantime, it was reported that Jose Mourinho Fenerbahce, who worked with Son Heung-min at Tottenham in the past, is trying to recruit Son Heung-min to be on the transfer market.
Turkiye CNN said on the 13th that `Fenerbahce is trying to recruit Son Heung-min to strengthen his power next season. It has already begun official negotiations with Tottenham. In particular, Mourinho and Alli coach Fenerbahce actively want Son Heung-min to be recruited' Son Heung-min is also known to be willing to be with Mourinho. As a result, if an agreement is reached between the two clubs, Son Heung-min's transfer can be made, he said.
Fenerbahce is also willing to pay a large annual salary to recruit Son Heung-min. Turkiye CNN reported that Son Heung-min also considered joining Fenerbahce in detail, saying, `Some say Son Heung-min demanded 12 million euros (about 19 billion won), twice the annual salary he receives at Tottenham.'
First of all, Son Heung-min is officially taking a cautious stance on his future. After the final Group B match against Kuwait in the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 North-China World Cup against Kuwait at Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 10th, he said, `We have to wait rather than say anything because we have a contract period left"Like many others, I'm curious about the future. We have to wait and see what happens. Wherever you are, you have to do your best and try your best", he said in principle.
There is no specific content, but if you understand the meaning between the lines well, you can see that Son Heung-min is in the position of 'There is no urgency'. You may move to a team that offers the best conditions in the transfer market, but if not, it's not bad to stay at Tottenham. This is because he can play in the Champions League next season.
In addition, if he recovers his injury and shows good performance on the Champions League and EPL stages, there is a good chance that the stock price will jump further. Above all, when the transfer market opens next winter, Son Heung-min will be eligible for free agency (FA). Since there is no burden of transfer fees, more clubs may send more active love calls. Even the possibility of Tottenham offering to renew the contract cannot be ruled out. In the end, all the keys are held by Son Heung-min.
