It was argued that Tottenham would sell Son Heung-min even if he lost money in the pre-season tour of Korea.
Spurs Webb said on the 22nd (Korea time) "Tottenham Hotspur are in danger of losing 75% of their Seoul pre-season tour revenue if a major transfer is made in the coming weeks"For a football club, it is an ability in itself to know when to say goodbye to a player who has shone for a long time."
"Clubs often let go of old legends so that new ones can emerge," he added. "And now Tottenham Hotspur are in a situation where they could say goodbye to Son Heung-min, who has been a symbol of the club in recent years."
Son Heung-min has been with Tottenham for nearly a decade and his dedication was rewarded last season by lifting the UEFA Europa League trophy in Bilbao, Spain.
If Son Heung-min leaves the team, Tottenham will lose certain profits from the preseason.
According to the British Telegraph, Tottenham will lose up to 75% of the agreed amount if Son Heung-min is not included in the Korean tour list. Even if Son Heung-min visits Korea with the team, the profit will only be 50% if he does not play in the game.
Son Heung-min, who is currently 33, has 12 months left on his contract with Tottenham and is also the highest-paid player in the club. However, there are talks that he can move if a specific recruitment offer comes this summer.
Tottenham will leave the country for a pre-season tour of Asia. They will face Arsenal in Hong Kong on the 31st and Newcastle United in Seoul on August 3rd.
For now, Son is expected to accompany him on his upcoming Asian tour. Fans are paying attention to what kind of decision will be made as clubs in various regions such as the U.S., Europe, and Saudi Arabia are showing interest in Son Heung-min.
Son Heung-min played in his first preseason game against Reading on the 19th under new coach Thomas Frank. As he has not shown any performance, he is on alert to keep his position as the main player.
Son Heung-min is expected to play in both games of this Asian tour as long as he does not suffer major injuries. Son's long-term future is expected to be determined by his performance on the tour. It is highly likely that his transfer will be decided after the Asian tour.
