Son Heung-min’s current contract with Tottenham runs until June 2025.
If the contract is renewed as reported,
Son Heung-min will wear the Tottenham uniform for a while after 2025.
The media outlet claimed that discussions on a new contract are already taking place informally.
He added that Son Heung-min has been receiving interest from Saudi teams recently.
Football Insider, which has consistently reported on Son Heung-min’s future using the words of an anonymous official,
said that Bayern Munich (Germany) is interested in recruiting Son Heung-min in 2021 and that they can wait for more than a year.
Son Heung-min re-signed with Tottenham instead of Munich that year and agreed to stay with Tottenham until 2025.
Football Insider recently said that Tottenham is keeping an eye on Son Heung-min and Hwang Hee-chan (Wolverhampton),
who plays for the national team as an attacker, and also raised the possibility of a transfer this summer.
In addition, it was claimed that Hwang Hee-chan could move from Tottenham to Liverpool (England),
a prestigious club with the likes of Muhammad Salah, Darwin Núñez, and Diogo Jota,
through the upcoming summer transfer market.
Since last year, rumors of Son Heung-min’s transfer to the Saudi team have been consistently raised through various media.
In June last year, global sports media ESPN reported that Saudi club Al-Ittihad offered Son Heung-min a large contract that would pay 30 million euros (about 43.3 billion won) each season.
Son Heung-min has dismissed rumors of a transfer to Saudi Arabia in several official appearances.
Son Heung-min, who met with domestic reporters after the friendly match against El Salvador at Daejeon World Cup Stadium immediately after the ESPN report, said,
“I like the Premier League, and I think there is still a lot of work left to do in the Premier League.”
