Will “captain” Son Heung-min (32) succeed in renewing his contract for a long time, defying everyone’s expectations? “Tottenham legend” Paul Robinson (45) was confident that Son will stay at Tottenham for a long time.
“Robinson believes Tottenham will want to be with Son Heung-min, who is about to expire,” said England’s To the Rainback, who mainly reports about Tottenham’s news on the 9th (Korea Standard Time).
Robinson said, “Tottenham would not be surprised if they are negotiating to extend Son’s contract. Considering what Son Heung-min is like at the club and his relationship with the fans, he will be able to stay as long as he wants.”
Robinson then said, “There were no nine times that Tottenham could admit last season. Son Heung-min took over the role until Dominic Solanke came in this summer. Son Heung-min’s contract is only seven months away, but we have to accept to some extent that we don’t talk about renewing the contract steadily.” At the same time, he said, “I think I would be surprised if it was extended for only one year. The fact that there is no news is that a one-year extension has already been decided and it could be longer. It would not be surprising to say that it is an extension of two to three years.”
Son’s contract expires next summer. There have been many suggestions regarding Son’s future, but it seems that the decision has been made to automatically extend his contract by one year. Once Tottenham makes a decision, it can automatically extend Son’s contract period to 2026. However, critics said that it would be a shame for Tottenham to only implement a one-year extension option when Son is a “team legend.” Despite this, Robinson predicted that Tottenham will sign a long-term contract renewal with Son.
Tottenham has significant benefits from the one-year extension. With the current contract, Son will be able to freely negotiate with other clubs starting in January next year without getting permission from Tottenham. He will be able to leave his team as a free agent next summer. For Tottenham, they can lose their best star player without paying a penny for a transfer fee, which can be prevented by a one-year extension. 스포츠토토
Tottenham will also have time to think about Son’s future for the next year. If Son’s performance is not good, he can press the sales button, but contrary to negative expectations, Tottenham and Son can leisurely exchange ideas about renewing their contracts for a long time. Earlier, the Spurs Web site in the U.K. also said, “His new contract is a given. Personally, there is nothing more important to Tottenham than renewing his contract. Son is a legend as well as a leader of the team. He still has a lot to do. I hope he will win the trophy and put his name on the club’s history.”
Another British media outlet, The Bootroom, also said, “Son Heung-min said that discussions on renewing his contract have not been made yet, but it is expected that negotiations will proceed soon.” Tottenham is planning to negotiate with Son Heung-min to sign a new contract throughout the season. Son Heung-min will turn 33 at the end of this season, but his skills show no signs of declining for the time being.”
