The future of “captain” Son Heung-min (32, Tottenham) depends on his will.
Spain’s Pichahes said on the 21st (Korea time) that “Son Heung-min could leave Tottenham in the upcoming winter transfer market,” adding, “Galatasaray (Turkiye) is planning a bold move in the winter transfer market to recruit Son Heung-min.”
A new rumor has it that Son will be transferred to the team. Surprisingly, the recruitment team is Galatasaray. Galatasaray is a club located in Turkiye, a “soccer neighborhood,” but it has successfully secured the name several times, sending shockwaves throughout the world. It also brought Victor Osimhen, former top scorer in Italy’s Serie A, to the team this summer. 바카라사이트
Furthermore, Galatasaray is targeting Son Heung-min. Galatasaray parted ways with key players this season including Wilfried Zaha (Olympique Lyonnais) and Kerem Akturkolu (Benfica). On top of that, another “key player” Hakim Ziech is also on the verge of weakening due to rumors of his transfer to the U.S. Major League Baseball (MLS). He intends to recruit Son to fill the void.
The media said, “Galatasaray is already competitive, but we believe Son Heung-min is the best player to make it stronger. Negotiations between the two sides could begin soon. We aim to reach an agreement by January.”
As Son’s contract situation is not good enough, Galatasaray plans to push for it more actively. Son’s contract period expires next summer. With less than a year left, Tottenham will reportedly implement only the one-year extension option included in Son’s contract.
Regardless of circumstances, however, Galatasaray will try to recruit him. “Galatasaray plans to submit a transfer proposal in January next year. Even if he fails, he can try to recruit Son as a free agent next summer,” said One Football, which specializes in soccer.
Son Heung-min’s will is expected to act as the biggest variable in this transfer. Even if Son Heung-min’s contract period is extended to 2026 through the extension option, the situation could change at any time if the player strongly wants to transfer. For Tottenham, which is preparing to say goodbye to Son Heung-min anyway, if Galatasaray only offers a high transfer fee, there is nothing to lose.
“Despite his importance, his contract is nearing an end. He is drawing attention from several teams including Galatasaray,” Pichahes said. “Tottenham can refuse to transfer Son during the season as its main goal is to advance to the European Champions League. However, the player’s position will play an important role in all negotiations.”
