At the end of this season, Son’s contract with Tottenham expires. They have already entered the final season of their contract. The Premier League has opened after the summer transfer window, and Tottenham even played their first UEFA Europa League match. The season begins in earnest, but Son’s future from next season has yet to be decided.
Recently, Son Heung-min opened up about his contract situation. Ahead of the match against Karabakh in the first round of the UEL League phase, he said, “We haven’t had any conversations yet. As for me, it is clear. I am focusing on this season. Every moment is my goal at my current age. Especially this season, we feel that we have to go to many tournaments and need more management. I am fully focused on this season and want to win the championship that every club wants to receive. I don’t know what will happen in the future, but I will give everything for this club. It has already been like that for 10 years.”
There has been no dialogue between Tottenham and Son Heung-min yet. After Son’s remarks, Tottenham’s intention was made public. According to the British ‘Evening Standard’, Tottenham is trying to trigger an option to extend its contract with Son by one year. If the one-year extension option, which was inserted in the existing contract, is triggered, Son will play for Tottenham until next season. The contract will be extended until the end of June 2026.
The problem, however, is the next season. After the 2025-26 season, Tottenham has to decide. Either extend his contract with Son or release him as a free agent. If he does not renew his contract, he will have no choice but to leave Tottenham.
It has been predicted that Tottenham will not keep Son Heung-min in 2026. Give Me Sports said on the 28th (Korea time), “The frustration of Tottenham fans may worsen due to the potential departure of Son Heung-min. Tottenham is considering not offering Son a contract extension after 2026. It is valid until next summer, but we are considering separating after leaving it for one year until 2026.”
Was he concerned about Son’s skills decline? Son will be 34 in 2026. He will not be surprised if his skills instantly decline. Son has maintained top-notch performance in the Premier League so far and has displayed good performance, but nothing will be known two years later. 토토사이트 추천
Son joined Tottenham in the 2015-16 season and has consistently performed well. He has scored double digits for eight consecutive seasons except for his debut season, and he was also the top scorer in the Premier League in the 2021-22 season. Last season, he led the team with charismatic leadership on and off the ground wearing the captain’s armband. If Son leaves Tottenham after 2026, it will be his first farewell to the club in 11 years since he joined the club.
