Son Heung-min doesn't seem to have made a decision for the next season yet.

European soccer transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano shared the story of the transfer theory through the British Give Me Sports broadcast on the 19th (Korea time). There was also talk about Son Heung-min. Romano said "Son Heung-min hasn't decided his future yet. Son will decide his future after discussions with the new coach."

Romano also added: "If Postecoglou had stayed with the team, Son would have stayed with Tottenham. Currently, there is a strong interest from the Saudi club toward Son Heung-min. Saudi clubs have a good relationship with Son Heung-min. However, nothing has been decided by the player. How Son Heung-min wants to do it will be an important point. In terms of transfer fee, we also have to wait and see how much we can pay for Son Heung-min." He explained that no decision has been made on Son's transfer right away.




British public broadcaster BBC also recently noted that no decision has been made yet, saying, `Son Heung-min can leave the team ahead of the next season, but even if he does leave, the timing could be after the Asian tour.'

Son Heung-min recently received a lot of attention due to his possible transfer to Saudi Arabia. With one year left on the contract, Tottenham has not offered a long-term contract renewal, prompting a flurry of claims that the club could sell Son Heung-min on a large Saudi offer. Son Heung-min also said in an interview that he would have to watch the situation, so attention was focused on Son's future. The possibility of recruiting players to replace Son Heung-min, including Jack Grealish and Antoine Semeno, has been mentioned, sparking the possibility of Son Heung-min's transfer.

This is not the first time Saudi Arabia is interested in Son Heung-min. Son Heung-min had this news just before the Europa League final. At that time, Britain's TBR Football also said, `Son Heung-min is likely to remain at Tottenham in the next season, but his future could vary greatly depending on the next coach.' There were not many rumors of a transfer as Son Heung-min is still likely to remain at Tottenham. However, it can vary depending on who becomes the coach. Saudi Arabian teams are in contact with Son's close aides to recruit Son. Son Heung-min may leave, but he may stay. It is not yet confirmed.




Since the summer of 2023, he has steadily wanted to recruit Son Heung-min. British media reported 'Saudi clubs have been watching Son Heung-min since last summer. Son has been rumored to be a transfer in recent months, and as his contract with Tottenham expires in 2025, Saudi clubs hope to sign him through a free transfer. It will be interesting to see if Tottenham extend his contract with him' he once expressed Saudi interest.

So far, Son Heung-min has clearly expressed his negative view on the Saudi transfer. CBS Sports reporter Ben Jacobs said about Son's proposal last summer that Son Heung-min received a total annual salary of more than 188 billion euros, saying, `He was offered a contract with an annual salary of 30 million euros (about 43.3 billion won) every season for four years by the Saudi Arabian League RT Hard.' Son Heung-min reportedly refused and stayed at Tottenham.

However, this summer is a time when Son Heung-min can also be worried. A long-term contract renewal with Tottenham has not been signed, and the contract expires in the summer of 2026. If you achieve most of what you can achieve at Tottenham, the choice to leave for Saudi Arabia for a huge salary is not unreasonable. With this Europa League victory, he has even filled a single puzzle that he lacked in his career. Son Heung-min also left a nuanced statement in a recent interview that the situation should be watched.




It is known that the decision is up to Son Heung-min and manager Thomas Frank. If coach Frank wants to stay, Son Heung-min's situation could be completely different. If Son Heung-min does not suddenly demand a transfer to Saudi Arabia, he may stay at the club and sign a contract. However, news about Son Heung-min's possible transfer has poured in recently, and the situation of leaving the team cannot be ruled out.

If the transfer is decided, not only Saudi Arabia but also other clubs can show enough interest. Tottenham Hotspur News reported, `Son Heung-min could reunite with Mourinho depending on the possibility that Tottenham's transfer will be agreed upon,' adding, `Son Heung-min could put an end to Tottenham's career this summer. Son Heung-min seems to be one step closer to his recent transfer. Fenerbahce has entered the recruitment competition and has to pay 25 million pounds (about 46 billion won) for negotiations, he explained.

Fenerbahce has already sought to recruit Son Heung-min since last summer. British media reported that the leadership of Fenerbahce visited Tottenham. Mourinho wanted to sign Pierre-Emile Hoibier, and coach Ali is also working to improve the squad, and Son Heung-min was reportedly included in the list along with Hoibier.

Rumors of a transfer to Fenerbahce are bound to draw more attention due to the presence of Mourinho, Son Heung-min's old teacher. Last summer, Fenerbahce actively considered Son Heung-min as a candidate to strengthen his power for Mourinho, but Tottenham had no intention of selling Son Heung-min. However, if Son Heung-min takes on a new challenge this summer, the Turkiye stage could be an option. Moreover, the possibility of reuniting with old teacher Mourinho and challenging for the championship trophy cannot be ruled out.

Son Heung-min will make the decision on the transfer after Tottenham's pre-season Asian tour scheduled for this summer. Attention is focusing on whether Tottenham and Son Heung-min's Asian tour will be their last companion.
