'Tottenham Captain'S Son Heung-min (33)'s future is heating up the English and Korean media, and new reports from the UK came out.
Tottenham Hotspur News, which focuses on Tottenham news, is preparing to pay Son Heung-min's fine for his absence from the Korean tour on the 23rd (Korea time) with the title of 'Exclusive Report' reported the theory.
Son Heung-min, who wore a Tottenham jersey for Leverkusen in 2015, lifted his first career trophy in the Europa League last season. Tottenham also suffered a trophy drought for the first time in 17 years. However, as Tottenham manager Angie Postecoglou was replaced due to poor league performance and Thomas Frank was appointed, Son Heung-min's future in the new season fell into a mystery. Amid rumors of a continuous transfer of three Saudi professional league clubs, Jose Mourinho's Turkiye Fenerbahce and his home Bundesliga Leverkusen, a series of media outlets including the BBC and the Times reported that transfer negotiations will proceed only after Son Heung-min's Asian tour in Hong Kong and Korea is over. For Tottenham, it was argued that Son Heung-min must play in the Coupang Play Series between Tottenham and Newcastle on August 3 at Seoul World Cup Stadium, as the pre-season Asian tour without Son Heung-min, the Asian market's box office guarantee check, is not appropriate, and this part is also specified in the contract. It is argued that even if Tottenham sells Son Heung-min, it will not be reviewed until after this game.

Tottenham Hotspur News, which sees Son Heung-min's chances of transferring this summer at around 50%, quoted John Wenham, the operator of the 'Lily White Rose" as saying that `Tottenham is also preparing to pay a fine if Son Heung-min does not play against Newcastle.' Wenham said, `Son Heung-min is connected to multiple clubs. If it goes to the Saudi professional league, a transfer fee of 50 million to 60 million pounds (about 93.2 billion won to 111.8 billion won) could be completed, and it would be around 30 million pounds (about 56 billion won) elsewhere. If there is a good opportunity, Tottenham will proceed with the deal even after paying a fine for not playing in the friendly match against South Korea."
"The fine may reach 2 million pounds (about 3.7 billion won), but if Tottenham receives a good offer for Son Heung-min and all parties are satisfied, even if there is a fine clause for breaking the friendly contract, the cost can be included in Son's transfer fee."

However, Tottenham Hotspur News presented Son's performance of 11 goals and 12 assists in 46 games (3189 minutes) last season, suggesting that Son's transfer is not the only thing. "Tottenham could receive a significant transfer fee if Son Heung-min leaves, but Son Heung-min could be a good rotation option next year as well. If Tottenham continues its good performance in the European Champions League, it could play more than 50 games in the season, and in this case, the depth of the team will be very important. Son Heung-min is still a good rotation option despite his age as well as having experience in the European Champions League. Tottenham might be more advantageous to have the captain for another season.
