What kind of sudden news? Son Heung-min has not been confirmed to stay at Tottenham. A New Interest Club Appears, This Time Serie A Calls



'We'll take Son Heung-min.'

Saudi Arabia, Turkiye and the United States. These are the countries that have been interested in Tottenham Hotspur's 'Captain' Son Heung-min in the transfer market this summer.

There were quite a few rumors of a transfer, but Son Heung-min did not move. Tottenham also did not respond much. Even new coach Thomas Frank showed confidence in Son Heung-min and `looks forward to a better role in the new season" even left a word. In the end, Son Heung-min seemed to have decided to stay without leaving Tottenham.




However, a reversal appeared late. Italy's Serie A Atalanta BC, which had not shown any interest in Son Heung-min, suddenly tried to recruit him. It is quite as active as it is late.

Italian soccer media Football Italy confirmed Son Heung-min's intention to transfer on the 1st (Korea time). Son Heung-min is very likely to leave Tottenham this summer. The possibility of a new challenge has emerged in Italy, it reported.

The media outlet then wrote 'Son Heung-min and Tottenham have one year left on their contract. You can take on a new challenge next season. As a new scenario, a trip to Serie A has emerged. In particular, Atalanta BC, based in Bergamo, is considering recruiting Son Heung-min. Atalanta said, 'We are looking for an alternative if ace striker Ademora Lukman leaves' and Son Heung-min could be the alternative Atalanta is looking for.




It's like a bolt out of the blue. It is also so groundbreaking that there is a high possibility of rapid progress. Son Heung-min may also want to continue his career in the European top leagues rather than going to Saudi Arabia, Turkiye, or the United States.

There is also a plan to cover the transfer fee. Atalanta's key striker Lukman is currently offered by Inter Milan. Atalanta has twice expressed a refusal, and Inter Milan is quite persistent. In the end, there is a great prospect of taking Lukman. Lukman is also in the mood to leave Atalanta.

After all, Atalanta may not think of a realistic alternative. Since Lukman's transfer fee is expected to be 50 million euros (about 79.6 billion won), Tottenham can also afford Son Heung-min's transfer fee. Tottenham is known to have set an appropriate transfer fee for Son Heung-min at around 25 to 30 million euros (about 40.1 billion won to 48.2 billion won).




Son Heung-min is currently on an Asian tour with the Tottenham squad. He entered Korea after a pre-season friendly match with Arsenal in Hong Kong on July 31. It will face Newcastle United at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on the night of the 3rd. When he returns to England after this match, the decision to stay and transfer is expected to be made. If the strand is set toward the transfer, Atalanta is the most likely at the moment. Attention is focusing on what decision Son Heung-min will make.
