'I don't want to waste the penalty!'

Son Heung-min (33) and Tottenham Hotspur may break up earlier than expected. This is because Tottenham, led by Tottenham Chairman Daniel Levy, is trying to sell Son Heung-min in the transfer market this summer.

Tottenham is even considering paying a penalty that will inevitably occur for Son Heung-min's early transfer. He said, "I leave the decision (on the transfer) to Son Heung-min, but it wasn't at all." In the end, it is the Tottenham club that decides Son Heung-min's transfer.

The Tottenham Hotspur News', which specializes in Tottenham club news, exclusively reported the Tottenham club's latest internal policy on the 23rd (Korea time), saying, 'If it is for the sale of Son Heung-min, the Tottenham club is ready to pay a fine.

Son Heung-min, who joined Tottenham through the transfer market in the summer of 2015, has not refused to play all sorts of bad roles as the team's flagship winger for 10 years so far. Son Heung-min's performance continued even after Harry Kane, the club's best franchise star, left the team two years ago and moved to Bayern Munich.

Instead of Kane, he played the role of a striker brilliantly while also showing leadership by taking on the role of 'captain'.

In the end, Son Heung-min finally lifted the long-cherished trophy at Tottenham. Tottenham, led by Son Heung-min, advanced to the UEFA Europa League (UEL) final in the 2024-2025 season, and finally beat Manchester United to win the final.

Son Heung-min has certainly risen to the club's legendary ranks as the main player who gave Tottenham the trophy for the first time in 17 years. But the time of glory was only short.

Tottenham replaced coach Enze Postecoglou after winning the championship, followed by Son Heung-min. Thomas Frank, the new coach after former Postecoglou, did not mention Son Heung-min's name at all in his first official interview after joining the club recently.

Referring to the team's new strategy, he listed the names of key players to solve the problem, but excluded Son Heung-min's name 'Captain'. It was an interview with the intention of not including Son Heung-min in the new season's strength. This is due to the sluggishness of last season, not a few years old, and above all, the possibility of a significantly increased transfer.

Son Heung-min will be a member of Tottenham until June next year due to the option to extend the contract for one year, which was triggered by the Tottenham club in January. However, he is highly likely to move to a new team this summer. It is predicted that Tottenham, which is sensitive to money, will not just waste this summer, the last chance to collect the transfer fee.

In fact, it was reported that Saudi Arabia's professional leagues Al Ahli, Al Nasr, and Al Kadishya are seeking to recruit Son Heung-min by baiting large transfer fees and drastic weekly pay increases. In addition, Turkiye Fenerbahce also expressed a low level of interest. Jose Mourinho, who is currently leading Fenerbahce, is known as a big fan of Son Heung-min.

However, Son Heung-min remained silent about the rumors of his transfer to these clubs. The Tottenham team also said, `I leave the decision to Son Heung-min.' However, he is already making his break-up with Son Heung-min a fait accompli.

This is evidenced by an exclusive report by Tottenham Hotspur News that Tottenham is even considering a penalty for the early sale of Son Heung-min.

In an exclusive interview with Tottenham Hotspur News, John Wenham, the host of the famous podcast LilyWhite Rose, which deals with Tottenham news, said, `Son Heung-min may fall into a game against Newcastle and Tottenham may consider paying a fine" he said.

Wenham said in this interview that `Son Heung-min is connected to several clubs. If you go to Saudi Arabia, you can get a transfer fee of between £50 and £60 million, and if you go to another country, you can get a transfer fee of around £30 million"If a transfer is made for the right amount, I am confident that Tottenham will sign the contract even with a penalty for Son Heung-min's absence from a friendly match in South Korea."

In other words, even if Tottenham pays a penalty for breaking the contract, it will transfer Son Heung-min if favorable conditions come.

Tottenham have an Asian tour in August. Initially, Tottenham's club planned to never sell Son Heung-min until the Asian tour was completed. The contract is also up for grabs.

Britain's The Times reported on the 17th that `Son Heung-min must go out in a pre-season friendly match against Newcastle United (August 4) under contract.' So I expected Son Heung-min to not transfer until at least this point.

This is because if you violate this, you will have to pay a penalty. However, Tottenham also plans to take a penalty for Son Heung-min's sale.

Wenham said, `If Son Heung-min falls out (of the Coupang Series), he may have to pay 2 million pounds (about 3.7 billion won) in penalty. The Tottenham club are confident they will make the transfer deal even if they pay this amount,' it said.

In the end, this means that chairman Levi has decided to sell Son Heung-min. It can be said that the benefit is much greater when the transfer is completed compared to the penalty. Son Heung-min's time at Tottenham is coming to an end like this.
