Son Heung-min once again stood at a crossroads.
Son Heung-min still dreams of accompanying Tottenham, but Tottenham seems to be stepping up their future plans after Son Heung-min.
He is also drawing a future relationship with Son. Nine years ago, he came to Korea at a discounted price of 40 billion won, and pocketed hundreds of billions of won in huge profits to his current team. Nevertheless, the British media believe Tottenham is bouncing its abacus to the end. This includes earning transfer fees through proper separation from Son.
Reports have emerged this month that Tottenham will end their current contract with Son Heung-min in June 2026.
It is not just a controversy over his contract. He is seeking to recruit a winger who will compete with Son in his mid-20s. Son is currently undergoing rehabilitation.
British media Sports Mall reported on Son Heung-min on the 11th (Korea Standard Time).
The media said, “Tottenham has also started recruiting 26-year-old winger Harvey Poir.” “Tottenham’s No. 1 priority is to secure the future of legendary Son Heung-min,” he said, announcing that Tottenham is poised to activate the option of a one-year extension attached to the current contract with Son Heung-min.
The English Football Fancast also helped. The media said on the 10th, “Tottenham will implement a one-year extension clause with Son Heung-min. The 32-year-old has been an amazing player for Tottenham, but Tottenham may say goodbye to him soon. Tottenham has a clause that allows Son to extend his contract for another year. Now they are preparing to invoke that clause.”
Football FanCast openly described Son as “the best source of income for Tottenham.” Even if it is true, he does not take into account Son’s dedication and hard work. Furthermore, he used a vicious expression, saying, “He is trying to activate his options so that he cannot transfer for free.”
Son Heung-min gave Tottenham hundreds of billions of won in economic power gains after coming to Tottenham in 2015 for a transfer fee of about 40 billion won, so no one will say anything if he moves to a free contract without paying Tottenham a transfer fee after the expiration of his contract next summer.
However, Tottenham, which is well versed in numbers, does not seem to intend to do so. It means that he will take care of the money through Son Heung-min until the end.
In fact, this is not the first time that Son Heung-min’s contract period has been extended using the supplementary provisions of the current contract.
From the 24th to the 25th of last month, influential media such as Football London, Evening Standard, and Guardian reported Tottenham’s activation of Son Heung-min’s contract option.
The Evening Standard reported at the time, “As Tottenham seeks to extend Son’s contract, Son Heung-min will mark his 11th season at the club.”
On the same day, Tottenham reporter Aless Control Gold of Football London made the same claim on his SNS.
Son Heung-min signed a new contract with Tottenham in the summer of 2021 that is valid until June 2025. It is the third contract written by Son Heung-min and Tottenham.
However, the contract reportedly includes an option to extend the contract period by one year until June 2026. In addition, it is widely believed that if Tottenham decides to extend it unilaterally, Son Heung-min will have no choice but to accept it.
With the contract nearing expiration, the media is believed to be planning to extend the contract period with Son Heung-min to 2026 by triggering an extension option.
Tom Barclay, a British “The Sun” member and Tottenham reporter, also said on SNS, “Tottenham is reportedly planning to activate their one-year extension option to hand over Son Heung-min’s contract to the summer of 2026.”
The British ‘Guardian’ also said, “Son Heung-min looked back on the contract situation after entering the last 12 months of his current contract at Tottenham,” adding, “Tottenham reportedly has the option to extend Son’s contract period by one more year and plans to activate it.”

At the time, the ‘Evening Standard’ said, “As Tottenham pushed for an extension of Son Heung-min’s contract
Manchester United’s Casemiro, Antony, Marcus Rashford and Matheis the Licht, who are controversial after eating, are all receiving a lot of salary.
Nevertheless, Son Heung-min immediately rejected Saudi Arabia’s offer of a large salary last year, focusing on his thoughts on Tottenham. Son Heung-min has already received a total offer of 160 million euros and about 240 billion won over the past four years at Al Etihad, where Ballon d’Or winner Karim Benzema is active. Son Heung-min has shrugged off twice the amount of salary he has received at Tottenham for 10 years so far, but Tottenham has offered an option to extend it by one year.
According to ESPN, Tottenham is reportedly planning to sell Son Heung-min for 60 to 100 billion won in transfer fees offered by Saudi Arabia after activating the current contract option to create a pretext for the transfer fee next summer. Excluding the commercial income Son Heung-min gave Tottenham during the contract period, calculating the net transfer fee alone will realize a profit of more than 50 billion won even if Son Heung-min spends well for 10 years.
Recently, Spanish media are announcing that Son Heung-min could move to Atletico Madrid, one of the top three prestigious La Liga teams, next summer. The club and Son Heung-min’s representative have already sat at the negotiating table. Son Heung-min is also looking for a way to live.
However, this will also be possible only when Son leaves Tottenham without transfer fees in June next year. If the extension option is activated, other clubs have no choice but to think that Son is old enough to acquire the status of a free agent at age 34. In order to escape from Tottenham, a free agent must be released next year. 스포츠토토
