Son Heung-min is highly likely to leave Tottenham this summer. |
According to Football Asian , Son Heung-min didn't even object to the decision to sack coach Postecoglou. He wasn't overly concerned about the Australian coach's fate. In fact, under Postecoglou, "Sonny's" role at the club diminished in the second half of the 2024/25 season.
Son Heung-min was often benched in important matches last season, and in fact, he began to clash with Postecoglou's tactics. Even sources in the South Korean press suggest that if the Australian manager continues as Spurs' coach, Son might demand a departure this summer.
However, after coach Postecoglou left the club, Son Heung-min still refused a two-year contract extension offer from Tottenham Hotspur. This stemmed from the fact that coach Thomas Frank apparently did not rate Son Heung-min highly.
The new Tottenham manager has not had a single conversation with the South Korean striker since signing with the "Spurs". Son has also rejected the club's offer to reduce his salary. Son Heung-min's future at Tottenham Hotspur is a topic of interest during this summer's transfer window, especially with only 12 months remaining on his contract.
Given the current situation, the likelihood of the Tottenham captain leaving the team this summer is very high. However, The Athletic reveals that any decision regarding the departure of the South Korean striker will be delayed until after Spurs' Asian tour.
Tottenham have scheduled two major friendly matches in the region, including a big clash with Arsenal on July 31st in Hong Kong (China) and a confrontation with Newcastle in Seoul (South Korea) on August 3rd.
Son Heung-min is the focus of this tour, with local fans placing high expectations on his presence. And selling "Sonny" before the Asian tour could force Tottenham to pay compensation to their partners.
