"I want to leave something behind."
Son Heung-min and Tottenham still have a good chance of a happy ending.
Tottenham will implement the option of a one-year extension contract in the current contract with Son Heung-min. Football Insider, which has recently been spotlighting Son Heung-min's future, made the claim, and "Team Talk" also confirmed it.
Football Insider recently reported that Son has agreed to extend his contract with Tottenham by one year. Son's contract expires next summer, but with this contract being extended, Tottenham can keep Son in the team until 2026. In other words, the remaining contract period will be extended from one year to two years until June next year.
The media continued, "Losing Son Heung-min, who influenced his team's style and scoring, will hurt coach Anji Postecoglou," adding, "Son Heung-min played 35 Premier League (EPL) games last season and scored 17 goals and 10 assists, proving that he is an indispensable player at Tottenham."
However, I took a look at this contract from Tottenham's point of view. It meant that the activation of extension options would be very beneficial to Tottenham. Tottenham will buy time. This is because they can watch for another year or two and decide whether to send Son Heung-min to other places such as Saudi Arabia or stay. Son Heung-min's performance in the new season has become important.
"Tottenham will have the option to sell Son Heung-min for a large transfer fee next summer," the media said. "It is similar to selling Harry Kane last summer." Tottenham sold Harry Kane, a living legend, to Bayern Munich in Germany for 150 billion won in August last year. The media pointed out, "Or you can sign a long-term contract with Son Heung-min to tie him up. Of course, Tottenham's big problem is that Son Heung-min persuades Tottenham as the right club to win at the club level."
Tottenham is not just the best. This means Son Heung-min can choose to stay at Tottenham.
Until the end of last month, "Football Insider" had the upper hand in renewing Son Heung-min's two-year contract. 밤알바
The media, in particular, quoted Keith Wynes, who is well-versed in Premier League situation as the former chairman of Everton, claiming that Tottenham offers Son a new two-year contract that includes conditions for a wage increase. Wynes said, "It's difficult for Tottenham," suggesting that Tottenham will have to consider various things to renew the contract with Son Heung-min, and added, "I think Tottenham will raise Son's weekly salary, but I don't think Son's weekly salary will increase significantly. In terms of evaluating Son's value, I think he is still worth 100 million pounds (175 billion won) to Son Heung-min despite having a pretty sluggish season."
