So what happens to Son Heung-min's renewal?

Coach Enze Postecoglou opened up about Son Heung-min's renewal.

Tottenham Hotspur will face Bayern Munich in two Coupang Play Series matches to be held at Seoul World Cup Stadium at 8 p.m. on the 3rd. In the previous Coupang Play Series match, Tottenham won 4-3 over Team K League.

Ahead of the match, Tottenham held an early press conference at TWO IFC located in Yeouido, Seoul. Asked about Son's renewal at the press conference, Postecoglou said, "Actually, I cannot decide on my own whether to renew the contract with the players. It is important to prepare for the season with the players. We have to respect all the players' contracts. The important thing is that we have become a young team."

"We need experienced players to help these players grow and continue to improve. Son Heung-min and Ben Davies can play important roles. They can be paragonists and leaders. Such talks will come and go at the right time for the club. It is important to prepare the team well before the season," he said.

News of Son Heung-min's renewal has poured in since March. British media 'TBR Football' reported, "European transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano said Son Heung-min is really excited about what Tottenham is doing."

Romano said, "It's a similar situation to manager Enze Postecoglou. Son Heung-min is very happy that something is happening at Tottenham. I don't know that the contract is imminent, but there will be no problem with the contract because the relationship is good."

"Spurs Web," which delivers Tottenham news, said, "Michael Bridge, a reporter for Britain's Sky Sports, confirmed that discussions are underway between Tottenham Hotspur and Son Heung-min on renewing the contract. Son Heung-min said he was greatly affected by the Korean national team's poor performance at the Asian Cup."

However, it has been reported that Tottenham will not renew the contract with Son but rather use the option of extending his one-year contract. The Athletic reported last month that Tottenham will use the option of extending his one-year contract to accompany Son until 2026. If Tottenham only invokes the option of extending his contract rather than renewing his contract, he will have to play for another year without increasing his salary.


Fans who heard that Tottenham would trigger Son Heung-min's option to extend his contract responded, "It's a club legend, but you have to do what Son Heung-min wants," and "We need to treat Tottenham legend."

Some argued that Tottenham's extension of Son's contract is a stepping stone to renew the contract. Spurs Web said, "Tottenham is trying to issue a one-year extension option with Son to renew the contract. Tottenham will sign a three to four-year long-term contract with Son before next season."

The news of Son's renewal of contract has been announced. "Son Heung-min's contract with Tottenham ends in 2025," British media outlet Football Insider said on the 29th (Korea time). Tottenham has an option to extend its contract by one year, but nothing has been decided yet.

"Former Everton chairman Keith Wynes expected Son to renew his two-year contract with Tottenham. Son's salary is also expected to rise, but there will be no significant change. Son's value is still around 100 million pounds (about 174.7 billion won), although not as much as before," he added.

Son is a legend of Tottenham. He played in more than 400 matches in Tottenham alone. In addition, he was named captain of Tottenham Hotspur last season. With his unique leadership, Son united Tottenham. Currently, Son is the most popular player in Tottenham.

Son Heung-min was chosen by Mauricio Pochettino to wear Tottenham's uniform in the 2015-16 season. Up until the early days of his transfer, Son was criticized more than good reviews. His blusher was inaccurate and his off-the-ball movement was not good. He was also criticized for his lack of activism. Son Heung-min has become Tottenham's main scorer by making up for his shortcomings.

His best performance was in the 2021-22 season. Son became the top scorer in the Premier League with 23 goals in the league. He became the first Asian player to win the top five European leagues. At the time, Son scored 23 goals without scoring any penalty kicks. He showed sluggish performance in the 2022-23 season. He suffered from a sports hernia throughout the season and suffered orbital fractures. Despite tough circumstances, he displayed his potential by scoring 10 goals and six assists in the league.

Last season, Son was on the rise again. He was close to being a helper in the early days of the season, but continued his scoring streak as he moved to one-top due to poor performance by Hishalisson. Son scored no matter where he was on the left winger or frontline. Son struggled in opponent defense at the end of the season, but eventually achieved the goal by making 17 goals and 10 assists in the league. 메이저놀이터
