'Doesn't this mean you don't have any intention of selling it in the first place?'
Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy's greed seems to have finally crossed the line. After deciding to sell Son Heung-min, the team's legend, in the summer transfer market, he set a transfer fee beyond imagination. It is expected to demand a whopping 100 million pounds (about 185.2 billion won). It is a requirement that goes far beyond the 'market appropriate line'. It is questionable whether there will be a club that will meet this baseline. It can also be interpreted as if it means not to sell it.

Tottenham News reported former Tottenham scout Brian King's claim on the 24th (Korea time) 'Tottenham club will demand £100 million for Son Heung-min's transfer fee'
The media outlet said there is a 50% chance that Son Heung-min will leave Tottenham this summer. Son was contracted to play in a friendly match against Newcastle United in South Korea on Aug. 3. Tottenham could pay a penalty if they don't play here, coach Thomas Frank reported that there is a high possibility of a transfer, saying there may be no opportunity to play with Son Heung-min.
It is now an open fact that Tottenham is trying to sell Son Heung-min in the summer transfer market. Son Heung-min, who joined Tottenham in the summer of 2015 and played a leading role in 454 games over 10 years, scored 173 goals, is about to drop it after he is well over his 30s. Son Heung-min even served as captain of the 2024-2025 season and gave the team the first trophy in 17 years. He is the leading player in the UEFA Europa League.

However, Tottenham is trying to reorganize the team to focus on the young players he wants after recruiting a new coach, Frank. Son Heung-min is unnecessary by this standard. Therefore, I'm going to sell it in the transfer market this summer, the last chance to get a transfer fee.
Just in time, Saudi Arabian clubs are showing interest. Turkiye Fenerbahce also showed interest. Then chairman Levi was even more greedy to sell Son Heung-min.

Former Tottenham scout Brian King said, `Tottenham will demand a transfer fee of £100 million if the Saudi Arabian club wants Son Heung-min.'```. Tottenham think they can get that money. It's because the huge recognition in Korea can bring in huge marketing costs'
Chairman Levi will never be able to reject Son Heung-min's transfer if he receives such an offer. Frank and Tottenham are already making fresh preparations for their new season's goals, he added.
In the end, chairman Levi is solidifying his idea of securing a large amount of money this summer through Son Heung-min. However, £100 million is a huge amount that even a Saudi Arabian team cannot easily offer. It is feared that Chairman Levi will have the adverse effect of blocking Son Heung-min's transfer with greed.
