What on earth happened to Son Heung-min who won UEL?First-tier reporter, leave the impression that he's going to leave

Jun 10, 2025

Did Son Heung-min really decide to leave Tottenham now. Surprising information has emerged.

The British Telegraph reported on the 9th (Korea Standard Time) that Thomas Frank was close to being Tottenham manager and that there would be a change in the leadership. The media reported that `Fabio Paratici has been a consultant to Tottenham and its chairman Daniel Levy and is expected to return to the club this summer as soon as the suspension of football-related work around the world, which has been disciplined for handling false accounting, is lifted.'

As soon as the former Tottenham general manager Paratic returns, the first thing to do is to work on the transfer market. Surprisingly, one of the tasks Paratici had to deal with was Son Heung-min's future. The Telegraph explained 'It could include a decision on the future of captain Son Heung-min, who has the interest of defender Christian Romero and Saudi Arabia that Atletico Madrid want and has instilled in players and staff the idea that he can leave the team.

It was a completely different direction from the existing information that came out through the influential British media. Son Heung-min's transfer rumors, which came from England after winning the Europa League (UEL), centered on Tottenham's attempt to sell Son Heung-min.

British Sky Sports said on the 5th that `Tottenham will only accept a substantial offer for Son Heung-min. Saudi Arabian professional league clubs are interested in Tottenham captain Son Heung-min's second consecutive summer transfer. He refused to move to Saudi Arabia a year ago. He will turn 33 next month and has one year left on his contract. Tottenham will not stop him if he wants a new challenge, it has been reported.

The Telegraph also raised rumors of Son's sale in earnest, saying, `Tottenham's captain Son Heung-min could be another high-profile player in the club's summer transfer market to raise transfer funds and reorganize the team ahead of his return to the European Champions League next season.'

However, the report this time was that Son Heung-min wanted to leave Tottenham. For the past decade, Son has been running solely to win at Tottenham. He reached the final several times, including the runner-up in the Premier League, the runner-up in the Champions League, and the runner-up in the League Cup, but all shed a lot of tears while drinking. With teammates leaving the team one by one due to the perception that they cannot win at Tottenham, Son Heung-min expressed his willingness to stay and protect the team.

Son Heung-min, who wore the captain's armband in the 2023-2024 season, felt more pressure as even his best partner, Harry Kane, left. Son Heung-min had to endure Kane's absence alone. Son Heung-min has had a difficult season this season due to hamstring and foot injuries, but the team has advanced to the UEL final. Son Heung-min finally pulled Tottenham out of the coffin by beating Manchester United in the final. It was also his first career club win.

For Son, it was the last puzzle piece. Son Heung-min directly said that winning the UEL was the last piece he lacked in his career at Tottenham. Did winning the UEL really change Son Heung-min's mind.

So far, Son has been loyal. There were also numerous points where he could choose to transfer, and he showed loyalty to the team by renewing his contract. Even after Kane, Christian Eriksen and Kyle Walker left, Son Heung-min remained a symbol of the team and became an all-time legend.

Did Son really decide that he had achieved everything at Tottenham. It is unknown what action Son Heung-min showed inside the squad after winning the UEL, but if Son Heung-min tries to leave, it will lead to tremendous transfer rumors.

So far, Son Heung-min is connected to Saudi Arabian clubs such as Al Hilal and Al Nasr, but European big clubs that know Son's value have also lined up. Before Tottenham extended their one-year contract, they were watching Son Heung-min in Barcelona.

Attention is focusing on whether Son Heung-min, who is currently focusing on the A-match in June, will leave a hint about his future after the match against Kuwait, which will be held today.
