Son Heung-min rejects PSG in the end…”I’ll stay in Tottenham”
Son Heung-min (32) has no intention of leaving Tottenham. Tottenham remains in the local media with great credibility. Recently, Paris Saint-Germain was interested in Son Heung-min, but it seems that they have decided to stay at Tottenham.
“Son Heung-min chose to accompany Tottenham. Tottenham is also ready to extend his contract until 2026,” said Florian Flettenberg of Sky Sports on the 18th (Korea time), making Son’s stay a fait accompli.
Another British media outlet, The Heart Tackle, also said, “Son Heung-min wants to stay at Tottenham. It was reported that Son Heung-min is likely to extend his contract with Tottenham. Tottenham will sign a one-year extension contract with him soon.”
Son has been at the center of the transfer market, connecting with PSG and other big clubs ahead of this season. In particular, PSG has shown an active interest in recruiting Son. It has been reported that French Ligue 1 champions PSG have marked Son as their new ace in case of Kylian Mbappe’s possible departure.
“비아그라 has been paying attention to Son Heung-min for a long time and has attempted to recruit him in the past,” British media “Team Talk” reported. PSG’s financial leeway and ambitious project could be an attractive option for Son. In addition, he showed interest in Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, and even Fenerbach’s SK in Turkey.
With Son Heung-min and Tottenham being accompanied, some pointed out that extending the contract is the club’s strategic option. In particular, some suggested that the contract extension is not just for the player’s stay, but for the monetization in the transfer market next summer.
“Tottenham is planning to extend the contract until June 2026 by invoking Son’s one-year extension option,” Fabrizio Romano said on the 14th, explaining Tottenham’s intention to leave Son with the club for at least one year. However, some experts did not rule out the possibility that the decision was a move that considered the club’s financial interests. They say there are calculations to block Son from becoming a free agent next summer and secure a high transfer fee.
