It is a twist. Son Heung-min (32), who has always been rumored to be transferred, seems to be determined to stay at Tottenham. The future is unknown, but the conditions under which he can stay up to three years are put at the negotiating table. Son Heung-min also shook his head at the rumor that he was negotiating with Tottenham.
British media Spurs Web reported on the 10th (Korea time) that Tottenham is gaining time necessary for long-term renewal negotiations by pushing for an extension of his contract with Son Heung-min. Son Heung-min also strongly denied the recent transfer rumors and weighed in on staying at Tottenham.
The media said, “Tottenham will extend the contract period to 2026 by utilizing the one-year extension option included in the contract signed with Son Heung-min in 2021.” It was interpreted as an intention to start discussing the multi-year renewal in earnest as a cornerstone to keep Son Heung-min longer.
Spurs Web said, “Tottenham does not immediately sign a long-term contract with Son Heung-min, but instead tries to secure time by invoking an extension option. During this period, we plan to coordinate the conditions with Son Heung-min and come up with an optimal contract plan.” In addition, it was analyzed that the club notified Son of the invocation of the extension option and that the negotiations between the two sides were proceeding positively.
Son has consistently devoted himself to the team ever since he left Leverkusen to join Tottenham in 2015. Unlike star players who often make noise every renewal season, Son has always been cooperative in negotiating with the club without publicly complaining or causing any conflict. This is one of the reasons why the possibility of renewing his contract with Tottenham is expected to be high.
Recently, Son Heung-min drew attention as rumors of a transfer were raised with several teams, including the Saudi Arabian Professional League, Barcelona, and Turkiye Schifferiga Galatasaray. In particular, rumors arose that Galatasaray would move to recruit Son Heung-min in the transfer market in January next year. There were also local reports in Turkiye that “the general manager of Galatasaray approved the recruitment of Son Heung-min in preparation for Victor Osimen’s departure.”
However, Son’s agent strongly denied the rumors. According to Spurs Web, Son’s agent said, “Both the news that Son first requested the Spanish team or that he will go to Turkiye is not true. I haven’t finished talks with Tottenham yet.” 온라인바카라
Spurs Web reported, “Tottenham is trying to secure time for negotiations by extending its contract with Son Heung-min. Tottenham aims to strengthen its relationship with Son and design the future of the team together.”
Tottenham is reportedly seeking a one-year extension and a two-year contract to renew their long-term contracts to further solidify their relationship with Son. If Son agrees to Tottenham’s proposed terms, he will be wearing the Tottenham uniform until 2028. In effect, it means a life-long contract. This further increases the possibility that Son, who was born in 1992 and is now 32 years old, will end his twilight years at Tottenham.
Tottenham is fully aware of Son’s positive impact on the team. Son showed leadership by leading the team with the captain’s armband last season. He has also shown remarkable performance in the beginning of this season, taking charge of his team’s scoring ability.
Spurs Web said, “He is committed to the club’s project. Officials also expect to reach a long-term contract agreement with him by the end of the season,” adding, “Tottenham will establish Son as a living legend for the team.”
If Son Heung-min succeeds in renewing his contract with Tottenham, he is expected to go beyond just being a key player and become a symbol that will remain in the club’s history. Son Heung-min has played more than 350 games for Tottenham so far, playing an important role in every major moment of the team. If Son stays with the team for a longer time through this renewal, he will be recorded as one of the few players who have played for Tottenham for more than 10 years.
Son Heung-min’s decision to “reject quite a few offers and remain at Tottenham” will send a positive message to the team. It is an opportunity to show other players that Tottenham is a club that provides a stable environment and promising projects.
Tottenham and Son Heung-min will continue further negotiations over the next few weeks. Based on Son’s dedication and the trust of the club, the two sides are likely to reach a positive conclusion. If a three-year long-term contract is confirmed, it will mean more than just an extension of the contract. It will open the way for Son Heung-min to remain a symbol of the club.
