Interest in the future of Tottenham Hotspur’s “captain” Son Heung-min in the English professional football Premier League (EPL) is hot.
As Tottenham hesitates to renew its contract, various rumors are pouring in.
It is in Turkiye that Son Heung-min is rumored to be transferred this time. Local media Panatic reported on the 21st (local time) that “Galatasaray is seeking to recruit Son Heung-min.”
He explained in detail, “We will sell Wilfried Zaha and Tete in the winter transfer market next January and offer Tottenham to recruit Son Heung-min at that cost.”
Son Heung-min, who left Leverkusen (Germany) in 2015 and wore a Tottenham uniform, has been a member of the team for nine years.
Son Heung-min and Tottenham’s contract expires in June 2025.
While there is no offer for Tottenham to renew the contract yet, local experts predict that Tottenham will trigger a one-year extension option.
Fabrizio Romano, a media outlet known to be familiar with the European transfer market, also said on his social media (SNS) on the 13th, “Tottenham has begun the process of invoking the contract clause extending Son Heung-min’s contract until June 2026.
“Son Heung-min will be accompanied by Tottenham for at least one more season (than the existing contract),” he added.
Earlier on the 4th, the British media Telegraph reported, “Tottenham just needs to let Son Heung-min know that he is exercising his option to extend his contract. Both Tottenham and Son Heung-min agree to this.”
With Son Heung-min turning 32, Tottenham, which is burdened with an “aging curve,” is more likely to choose an option event than a long-term renewal, according to local media. 온라인바카라
According to Sporttrack, a global sports player annual salary analysis media, Son Heung-min receives the highest weekly salary in the team with 190,000 pounds (about 330 million won) at Tottenham.
If you renew your contract, you will inevitably raise your salary, so Tottenham’s option to extend it is a “safe option.”
In fact, Tottenham has been passive in renewing contracts with players in their 30s or older in the past.
Rumors of a transfer to Son Heung-min are pouring out as Tottenham hesitates to renew its contract.
Prior to the rumor of a transfer to Galatasaray, he was also linked to Fenerbahce, a member of the same Turkiye league.
Fenerbahce is led by Jose Mourinho, Son Heung-min’s old teacher.
In addition, there were reports that Lee Kang-in’s team, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG, France), was interested in Son Heung-min.
