Son’s current contract with Tottenham Hotspur ends in June 2025. Son’s contract reportedly includes an option for a one-year extension, but even if this option is invoked, Tottenham and Son will contractually accompany him through the 2025-2026 season.
Tottenham plans to sign a “life-time contract” with Son. Son is over 30 years old but plans to renew his contract so that he can play for Tottenham even when he is in his mid-30s.
“Tottenham is about to renew the contract with Son Heung-min, the captain of the Korean national soccer team and the national team,” British media outlet The Hard Tackle said on the 5th (Korea Standard Time). “We have to wait and see whether Son will leave his future to Tottenham. Son is an indispensable asset for Tottenham. Losing a player like Son Heung-min following Harry Kane will aggravate Tottenham. Tottenham cannot afford to lose Son Heung-min.”
Negotiations are still ongoing. Give Me Sports said Tottenham is discussing a new contract with Son. As his current contract expires soon, he and Tottenham have to make a decision during the summer transfer window.
“He has not signed the contract yet, and if the status quo remains, he will leave Tottenham without a transfer fee in 2025. If Tottenham fails to catch him, it may have to consider cashing in on him. This summer will be an important one for determining Son’s future,” he added.
In the midst of this, there were voices that actively supported Son’s renewal, saying Son Heung-min is a very important player at Tottenham.
Michael Bridge, a journalist for Sky Sports in the U.K., said on Give Me Sports that negotiations on Son’s renewal are still ongoing. Son is an excellent ambassador on the field and off the field as well as a key player for Tottenham. He is the captain of Tottenham after Harry Kane, adding that Son Heung-min is very important to Tottenham.
“He recently came back from the Asian Cup. Personally, he was very disappointed about the Asian Cup. I don’t think Son has the highest level of relationship with Jurgen Klinsmann. Maybe this is why he took some time to come back.”
There is still a reason why Tottenham wants to complete the renewal of the contract with Son Heung-min as soon as possible. This is because the teams in the Saudi Arabian League, which took many star players playing in Europe last summer, will move once again this summer, and there are rumors that Son Heung-min has become a target for Saudi Arabian teams.
When Saudi Arabian clubs reached out to the European soccer community last summer, Son Heung-min also garnered attention from Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia is known to aim for Son and other European star players again in the upcoming summer.
However, Son Heung-min has already denied the rumor of a transfer to Saudi Arabia once, and because of this, it is unlikely that he will accept the offer again.
“Give Me Sports” also re-examined the fact that Son Heung-min shook his head on the transfer rumor, saying, “Playing in the PL is my dream” during a meeting with local reporters last year.
