Tottenham Hotspur F.C. reportedly unilaterally invoked the option of extending the contract for one year without paying attention to Son Heung-min (33, Tottenham Hotspur) who wanted to renew the contract for a long time has already found his replacement. It is on the verge of setting up a negotiation table.
"I will be with Son until the summer of 2026 by invoking a one-year extension option," Tottenham officially announced on its website on the 7th (Korea time). Global media ESPN reported a day later (August 8) that "the decision was made by Tottenham without considering Son's intention." Tottenham even planned to recruit Borussia Dortmund winger Daniel Malen (25) of the Bundesliga. It has designated Son as a substitute.
During the official announcement, Tottenham was busy raising Son Heung-min. There was no atmosphere that he did not consider his thoughts at all. Son Heung-min also did not express any complaints on the surface, saying, "I am grateful to be with the team everyone dreams of."
However, according to Tottenham News, which mainly reports on Tottenham along with ESPN, Son Heung-min, who was connected to big clubs including Barcelona, is stranded at Tottenham for another year due to unilateral notification.
Having devoted himself to Tottenham for 10 years, Son wanted to renew his contract for a long time. However, rather than actively considering the option, Tottenham only invoked the option of a one-year extension.
As Son Heung-min's achievements at Tottenham are significant, the club's attitude of not listening to his wishes is causing anger.
Son's contract was set to expire at the end of this season. Tottenham had the decision to activate the option of a one-year extension but had no news until 2024.
For this reason, Son Heung-min has been given the right to freely talk to overseas clubs under the Boseman Rule since January 1. He was connected to several big clubs, and rumors of a transfer to Barcelona were hot until Tottenham's option was activated.
Barcelona News, which mainly reports on Barcelona, reported on Sunday that it is preparing to recruit a "bomb-class" player to strengthen its left flank. The bombshell recruitment here refers to the recruitment of Son from Tottenham.
"Barcelona, which has been suffering from financial difficulties in recent years, aims to bring Son Heung-min for free to strengthen its squad," Bein Sports also reported. Having been free to negotiate with non-England clubs from January, Son is the ideal player to see the left winger in Barcelona. Rumors have it that he will sign a two-year contract.
However, rumors over Son's transfer ended up being mere rumors as Tottenham activated his team's options. Barcelona planned to keep Son for free if he leaves the club this summer without extending his contract with Tottenham. However, as Son has extended his contract with Tottenham until 2026, Barcelona now has to pay a transfer fee to recruit Son. As Barcelona cannot afford to recruit Son, it will be difficult to recruit him. 먹튀검증
On the day when Son's one-year extension option was announced, Tottenham said, "The possibility that he will head to Barcelona as an FA disappeared," adding that Tottenham selected Son's opportunity to go to a big club. He also gave shocking news that the club is quickly trying to find a replacement for Son.
Surprisingly, Tottenham have already found Son Heung-min's replacement.
Football FanCast said on the 10th, "Tottenham is considering recruiting striker Malen from Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga, an upgraded Son Heung-min."
"Some Tottenham players have shown poor form throughout the season. Among them, Son Heung-min is not polite. Son Heung-min has still scored seven goals this season, but the news that Tottenham is looking for a replacement is honestly not surprising," he said.
Malen, a former Ajax youth team, has played for Dortmund since July 2021 after playing for PSV Eindhoven. He can play in both side attacking positions and is considered to have good speed and goal determination.
It is the 2023-2024 season when he began to draw great attention. He played in 27 Bundesliga matches and scored 13 goals and two assists. This season, he has played in 20 matches and scored five goals in all tournaments. Age, if not an outstanding indicator, is acting as a plus point. He is 25.
There is a team that approached Malen before Tottenham. It is Aston Villa. Rumors have it that they have already reached an individual agreement, but Villa have not reached a complete agreement as they cannot meet Dortmund's demands for transfer fee (21 million pounds, about 37.8 billion won).
Football FanCast predicted, "It may not be easy to compete with Villa, but considering Malen's ability and reasonable price, it is worth Tottenham's efforts to recruit him. In particular, Malen is likely to serve as a substitute for Son Heung-min."
"Given Son's amazing talent and innate ability, it is too much to expect him to reach the same level as he did in his prime," he said. "Son can still score goals and assist, but his influence in the ground is decreasing as he gets older. Many fans will feel that his performance is not as good as in the past. Malen's presence can be helpful to Postecoglou."
Son has been keeping quiet as much as possible. "I'm grateful that I was able to extend my contract with Tottenham by one year," Son said. "I love the time I spent here with Tottenham. They have been together for 10 years. I'm proud of them for another year."
