More and more predictions are that “captain” Son Heung-min (32) will leave Tottenham. Some say that the option of a one-year extension is also a means for Tottenham to sell Son Heung-min to collect the transfer fee.
England’s The Hard Task said on the 15th (Korea Standard Time), “England Tottenham is ready to invoke the option to extend the contract to protect Son Heung-min’s market value,” adding, “The Korean player’s contract expires next summer. Tottenham hopes to extend the contract period by one more year to protect Son Heung-min’s market value.”
Son’s contract period is limited to summer 2025. Tottenham will reportedly implement the option of one-year extension that is included in the contract table without renewing the contract. Once Tnum makes a decision, he can automatically extend Son’s contract period to 2026. “Tottenham has started the process of implementing the clause that extends Son’s contract until June 2026. He will be accompanied by Tottenham for at least one more season,” said Fabrizio Romano, an expert in the European transfer market.
If the option is implemented, Tottenham will block Son from leaving the club as a free agent next summer. As it should be, Son can hold individual negotiations with other teams starting in January next year without Tottenham’s consent. Tottenham could lose Son without receiving a penny of transfer fee. However, Tottenham plans to avoid this by implementing the option before January.
Tottenham also have two choices. By extending Son’s contract period, they can decide whether to stay with Son longer or press the sales button. 온라인바카라 The media predicted a higher possibility of the latter. In fact, the Saudi Arabian League, which has considerable financial resources, has been showing interest in Son for a long time. The Hard Taskle predicted, “Saudi clubs are recruiting experienced players, and Tottenham wants to protect Son’s market value. Saudi clubs are interested in Son. Tottenham also knows their financial strength, which means they can receive a considerable amount of money for Son’s transfer fee.”
Last year, Saudi Arabia’s prestigious RT Hard promised Tottenham and Son Heung-min a huge amount of money and attempted to recruit him. However, Son refused to transfer, saying he wanted to play for Tottenham more. Tottenham also tried to keep Son, but apparently changed its mind as it got older and suffered from frequent injuries this season. “Son Heung-min is a bit out of form this year, which has caused concerns,” the media said.
Another reason why Tottenham is reluctant to renew Son’s contract is the increase in weekly pay. Currently, Son is paid 190,000 pounds a week, the highest in his team. However, if he renews his contract, his weekly pay can be higher. Tottenham also feels pressured.
