It's "money" after all.
Son Heung-min's future is not expected to be decided before Tottenham's Asian tour. Tottenham will visit South Korea again this year following last year. Tottenham, which will play Arsenal in Hong Kong on July 31 (Korean time), will face Newcastle United at Seoul World Cup Stadium on August 3.
Without Son Heung-min, there is no point in 'Asian Tour' Britain's 『BBC" focused on Son's future on the 17th. The 'BBC' is increasing Saudi Arabia's interest in Son Heung-min. However, Tottenham's tour of South Korea is emerging as a factor that will affect captain Son Heung-min's future, according to the report.
Son Heung-min's contract will end after the 2024-2025 season, but Tottenham activated a one-year option earlier this year. The contract period was extended by one year until June 2026.
There is also a change in Tottenham. Coach Enze Postecoglou presented the trophy for the first time in 17 years, but he was replaced. Thomas Frank, who led Brentford, took the helm.

Son Heung-min also called his future a question mark. After the final match (4-0 win) against Kuwait in the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 North-China World Cup at Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 10th, he said "For now, the contract period remains." You have to wait rather than say something. Like many people, I'm curious about my future. We have to wait and see what happens in the future. No matter where you are, you have to do your best and try. I'll do my best to prepare well.' In the UK, it is interpreted as an indication of separation.
Son Heung-min's future at Tottenham is uncertain with only 12 months left on his contract. Several clubs in the Middle East are trying to use uncertainty as an opportunity.'According to reliable sources, Son is likely to leave the team before next season, but he is likely not to be out of the team until the Asian tour. If Son Heung-min is not on the team, there is a risk of trouble with the tour organizers.
There is only one reason why English Premier League (EPL) clubs are holding Asian tours. It's a 'commercial attraction'. It is a profitable event. Son Heung-min's status does not need an explanation. The reality is that there are not many fans in Korea to support Tottenham without Son Heung-min.

The 'BBC' is that Son Heung-min's plans to participate in various activities during the tour have already been agreed and Tottenham have promised to carry out the plan. Tottenham will reportedly have to offer a much higher price than its valuation if it wants to sell Son ahead of the tour.
And 'Tottenham has yet to receive an official offer for Son Heung-min. It is still unclear how he will fit into new coach Thomas Frank's plans for next season.
Son built his nest at Tottenham in the summer of 2015. After spending 10 seasons with Tottenham, he created a new history of leading the Europa League with the 2024-2025 season 'Captain'.
It was the first time in 17 years since winning the League Cup in the 2007-2008 season. In the case of the European match, it was the first time in 41 years since winning the UEFA Cup, the predecessor of the Europa League in the 1983-1984 season. Regardless of his future, Son Heung-min has already established himself as a legend of Tottenham that will go down in history. He made 454 appearances for Tottenham, scoring 173 goals and 101 assists.

Alasdair Gold, a Tottenham first-tier reporter, said on the 16th that Son Heung-min's decision was up to him. "Despite not being in his best form last season with only 12 months left on his contract, Son has been directly involved in 23 goals in 46 games,' he said. "'Frank will voice his opinion on his plans for Son. However, like Ben Davies, Son Heung-min has contributed enough to the club to make any decision for himself. Also, depending on what suggestions come in, a lot can change.
Director Frank is working on a new game. '1 Recruitment' was the full recruitment of Matistel, who was based at Tottenham on loan in February this year. There is also interest in Brentford's favorite priest, Brian Mbormo.
There are opinions that the future of Son Heung-min is likely to continue until the last stage of the transfer period, which ends on September 1. Given his position at the club, Son's transfer represents a significant departure from the club.'"
Frank's first task is to discuss Son's future. First of all, Son Heung-min holds the key.
