Son Heung-min (33, Tottenham) is drawing attention with rumors of a transfer to Bayern Munich along with changes to his position within Tottenham. His future remains uncertain, and whether he will re-sign is still up in the air.
Recently, British and European media have raised the possibility of Son leaving Tottenham for Bayern Munich. 'Curt Offside' reported on the 3rd (Korean time), "Tottenham may lose another star player to Bayern Munich," referring to Son Heung-min as "another star player."
The media explained, "Tottenham has previously sent core players to Bayern. Harry Kane and Eric Dier are examples. Both players are fighting for the Bundesliga title with Bayern, and Son also has a chance to join them."
Additionally, 'The Hard Tackle' noted, "Bayern wants to strengthen their attacking lineup in preparation for the next season and is considering Son as a transfer candidate." The media analyzed, "Son may leave Tottenham after the 2024-2025 season. The lack of trophies and the uncertainty of the club's project could be factors in his transfer decision."
Tottenham wishes to re-sign Son but has yet to begin negotiations. 'Tottenham Hotspur News' reported on the 4th, "Tottenham plans to start re-signing negotiations with Son in December 2025." Currently, Son's contract is guaranteed until June 2026, but it seems the club does not have the intention to pursue a re-signing immediately.
According to Tottenham insider John Wenham, Son wishes to retire at Tottenham, but the club's lack of active re-signing efforts could be a variable. He projected, "The time when Son can negotiate freely with other clubs is January 2025. Therefore, it is highly likely that Tottenham will maintain silence regarding his contract until December of this year."
Son remains an iconic player for Tottenham, but recent controversies regarding his position continue. 'Football Fan Cast' reported, "Manager Postecoglou may end Son's career at Tottenham," noting that evaluations of his leadership and performance are changing.
'ESPN' analyzed, "Son and Salah were both born in the summer of 1992 and have become legendary figures at their respective clubs. However, one is leading the title race at Liverpool while the other is seeing his 'untouchable' status at Tottenham being shaken."
In particular, the aging curve of Son and the change in his role as a leader are receiving attention. 'Team Talk' evaluated, "It might be a better choice for Tottenham if Son were to relinquish the captain's armband, as the team tends to wobble in difficult situations."
Son has nearly a decade at Tottenham, becoming a club legend. However, he still has not lifted a significant trophy. If big clubs actively pursue signings this summer, it cannot be ruled out that Son may choose a new challenge.
Spain's 'Fichajes' reported, "Son is seriously considering a transfer to Bayern Munich, and the club also views him as a key striker for the team." Additionally, 'FootMercato' conveyed, "There are analyses that Son's performance is not what it used to be. Whether he transfers depends on how he performs in the remaining season."
Neither Tottenham nor Son have officially commented, but this summer, his future is expected to be one of the hottest topics in football.
