‘Captain SON’ Son Heung-min (31) is pursuing a lifetime contract with Tottenham. The annual salary is also expected to rise to around 25 billion won.
British media ‘Football Insider’ said on the 15th, “Son Heung-min is eager to devote the rest of his career to Tottenham.
Tottenham are also preparing to offer Son Heung-min a huge contract renewal. Son Heung-min, 31
was impressed by the influence that manager Poste Koglu had on Tottenham and wants to play a key role in the club’s long-term future
he said, exclusively reporting on the long-term contract push.
Previously, the media reported the possibility of Son Heung-min’s contract extension last September.
Football Insider said, “Tottenham is trying to activate the one-year extension option with Son Heung-min first,” and “On the other hand
instead of executing the extension option, they may begin negotiations with Son Heung-min about starting a completely new long-term contract renewal.
He mentioned two possibilities. 카지노사이트
Son Heung-min’s current contract with Tottenham ends in June 2025. Regarding this
Tottenham has an option for a one-year extension, and with the prospect of executing the contract
there are reports that they may even sign an additional new contract.
Another media outlet, ‘Football London’, predicted a high possibility of Son Heung-min and Tottenham renewing their contracts rather than activating the extension contract option.
After reporting the news of Destiny Udogi’s contract renewal, the media classified Son Heung-min and Pape Sar as subjects of unconditional contract renewal.
At the same time, Football London said, “There is one year and six months left on the contract, and Tottenham has the option to extend it for another year.
However, Tottenham will not repeat the example of letting Harry Kane go this year.
Son Heung-min also wants to remain at Tottenham,” he explained.
The situation mentioned by the media was the case where Harry Kane, the team’s leading goalscorer
left for Bayern Munich one year before the expiration of his contract with Tottenham.
Tottenham was unable to win over Kane with an extension contract, and eventually
after being embroiled in transfer rumors for two consecutive seasons
let the team legend leave for around 100 million euros (143 billion won) ahead of this season with one year remaining on his contract.
Football London claims that in order to prevent such a situation in advance, Son Heung-min will be signed to a lifetime contract with a longer long-term contract.
In reality, if the one-year extension option is exercised, the contract period can be extended to June 2026
but it is pointed out that if transfer rumors arise, not only will it not be possible to win over the player’s mind, but the discussion on renewal of the contract will ultimately be postponed.
Football Insider also reported that the contract renewal aims to establish a permanent relationship between Son Heung-min and Tottenham.
The media said, “Son Heung-min’s contract renewal also has the purpose of reflecting his new status as Tottenham captain.
According to a well-informed source, it will be a huge contract with a huge salary increase.
His current contract is worth 190,000 pounds (about 315 million won) per week, which is the highest salary at the club.
If Son Heung-min’s known current weekly salary is converted into annual salary, it is around 16.4 billion won per year.
According to observations from the British media, if a contract is renewed with Tottenham
it is expected that the amount will immediately exceed 20 billion won and approach 25 billion won.
Ultimately, the gist of the report is that the Tottenham board is trying to keep Son Heung-min as a player for life
whether they choose how to activate the extension option first or pursue a contract renewal.
Hesitant to break the salary cap and losing out on many players in the past, which ultimately weakened the team’s strength, or, after conflict over contract renewals
they tried to prevent key players who showed ambitions to win the championship from leaving, and Son Heung-min was appointed captain.
This means that they want to remain in the Postecoglu system for a long time.
There is also a realistic risk from Tottenham’s perspective.
If Son Heung-min does not renew his contract with Tottenham, there is a good possibility that he will move to the Premier League or other European leagues at any time
even after 2025. In addition, Son Heung-min has already been linked to the Saudi Arabian league ahead of the 2023-24 season.
At the time, multiple media outlets reported that a Saudi Arabian club, some say Al Ittihad
attempted to offer a transfer fee of $65 million (approximately 83.5 billion won) to Tottenham.
In particular, Al Ittihad is known to have offered Son Heung-min a four-year contract with a whopping annual salary of 30 million euros
or approximately 41.9 billion won.
It was a huge mega deal worth 168 billion won over 4 years.
However, Saudi Arabia’s love call fell through as both Tottenham and Son Heung-min rejected it.
In June, when transfer rumors were in full swing, Son Heung-min was also called up to the team for the international match and said in an interview conducted in Korea, “I like soccer.
Of course, money is also important. However, I dream of playing in the Premier League, and I still have a lot of work to do there,” he said, adding
The Saudi Arabian League is an interesting league, but playing in the Premier League is my dream.
He expressed his intention to remain in the PL.
However, Son Heung-min, now in his 30s, cannot help but think of the end of his career.
He said, “No matter when the time comes, if you are a professional player, there comes a time when you have to decide your career.
However, if Tottenham proposes a lifetime contract and Son Heung-min accepts it
the possibility of finishing the remainder of his career at Tottenham increases.
