Will Son Heung-min be able to relieve the disappointment of Korea's representative strikers.
It was reported again that Son Heung-min could advance to Spain's La Liga as a prestigious club. Although not Real Madrid or FC Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, which is considered one of the three most prestigious La Liga teams and ranked No. 1 in La Liga this season, seems to be sending constant love calls. Fans are also welcoming the news as soon as it is released. They even say that it is time to leave Tottenham for the trophy.
Pichahes, which has low public confidence but is widely read in the Spanish soccer transfer market, reported the news.
"The Premier League superstar can sign with Atletico Madrid," Pichahes said on the 20th (Korea Standard Time), adding, "The superstar is Son Heung-min. He can head to Atletico Madrid after his contract with his team ends in June next year."
England's cutoff side also said on the 21st, "Lariga big club Atletico Madrid is planning a bargain transfer for the Tottenham star," adding, "There was speculation that Tottenham Hotspur striker Son Heung-min will leave North London," adding, "Son Heung-min, who is 32 years old, is a target for Atletico Madrid and can consider recruiting in the next few months."
"Atletico will have every opportunity to recruit Son Heung-min through a free contract next summer," the British newspaper The Hard Task said. "Son Heung-min has become strong every season and has become one of the best strikers in the league. Since Tottenham has no meaningful progress in negotiations with Son Heung-min, Atletico can provide an opportunity to play at the highest level if Son Heung-min decides to transfer."
Son Heung-min's transfer to Atletico Madrid was not reported for the first time.
In September, Pichahes already reported that Son Heung-min's deputy had an unofficial contact with the Atletico Madrid club.
At the time, the media said, "Atletico is one of the busiest teams in the transfer market last summer," adding, "The club that brought Julian Alvarez continues to work to strengthen the squad. Several names are emerging, and one of the most outstanding players is Son Heung-min," signaling the possibility of moving to Asia's best star.
The media especially noted that he is in his mid-30s, but his skills are not rusty.
"He turned 32 years old, but he is still performing well at the highest level," the media said. "More than anything, his contract term ends in 2025. This is one of the good opportunities that the transfer market can provide. So far, Son has not been able to sign an extension of his contract with Tottenham."
In particular, Pichahes claimed that contact had already been made between the Atletico Madrid club and Son Heung-min's agent. Pichahes nailed, "Although it was unofficial, conversations also went back and forth." In other words, it was not just a transfer rumor, but it was announced that there was some possibility of a transfer.
Son will be subject to Boseman's rule from January 1 next year and will be able to freely negotiate with all clubs around the world. Rumors of a transfer to Atletico Madrid ahead of the new year are unusually high.
If Son Heung-min joins the team, world-renowned striker Antoine Griezmann from France will naturally go to the U.S. Major League Soccer (MLS).
Founded in 1903, Atletico Madrid is a prestigious club that has won the Spanish La Liga title 11 times. Its latest championship is in the 2020-2021 season. It has also lifted the Copa del Rey trophy, the Spanish FA Cup, 10 times, and won the UEFA Europa League three times. It is definitely ahead of Tottenham, which has not won the English Premier League in more than 60 years.
This season, Real Madrid brought Kylian Mbappe and FC Barcelona also expected Atletico Madrid to struggle due to the rapid growth of Lamine Yamal, dubbed the "second Messi," but it is actually holding up well.
The team is also fiercely competing with Barcelona and Real in the 2024-2025 season. By defeating Barcelona, the previous leading team, 2-1 on Sunday, the team has become the sole leader with 41 points. It has surpassed Barcelona, with 38 points, and Real Madrid, with 37 points. As the team ranks 11th out of 36 teams in the UEFA Champions League, it is highly likely to advance to the tournament.
Son Heung-min may sign a contract with Atletico Madrid for several years, but his charm is that he can continue to play in the UEFA Champions League. Including this season, Tottenham did not advance to the Champions League in the past two seasons.
The reason Son Heung-min is embroiled in rumors of a transfer to Atletico is that there has been no official announcement on whether to renew his contract with Tottenham for a year.
Son Heung-min has renewed his contract twice since joining Tottenham in 2015, and the contract is now due in 2025. Tottenham is known to have the option to extend the current contract for another year, and media familiar with the British situation, including The Athletic, report that Tottenham has already implemented this option and the contract period between Son Heung-min and Tottenham will be extended to June 2026, but Tottenham has not announced officially yet.
Tottenham fans are asking Tottenham to renew their contract with Son Heung-min, who announced his strong performance with 17 goals and 10 assists last season, saying he can still enjoy his prime for two to three more years. Some argue that Son Heung-min's annual salary, which is currently around 18 billion won, should be more than 25 billion won. Son Heung-min is not only good at his skills but also has excellent marketing value, such as being recognized as an icon of Asian soccer.
However, Tottenham still remains silent. Against this backdrop, rumors of a transfer to the Middle East surfaced last summer, raising the possibility of a transfer to Atletico Madrid. Then came the possibility of a transfer to Atletico Madrid again after passing through FC Barcelona, Real Madrid, PSG, Galatasaray, and Bayern Munich.
Atletico Madrid is also interested in the Korean market, so last year, they visited Korea and played a series of games with Team K League and Manchester City. The Korean names were inscribed on the players' uniforms, which received a lot of applause even though there were no Korean players on the team.
The key is Son's loyalty to Tottenham, which has entered its 10th year. If he stays at Tottenham, he will be treated as a legend of the club, but if he stays at Atletico, he will become a player who is forgotten after a few years of playing and retiring, which could be better considering after his active career. 메이저사이트
Atletico Madrid has been linked to strikers who have embroidered Korean soccer before. I have been interested in Korean players for a long time, and Kia Motors once served as the main sponsor.
However, it did not lead to joining the team, and attention is being paid to whether he will form a relationship with Son Heung-min this time.
Earlier, there were reports that Ahn Jung-hwan would leave Duisburg for Atletico Madrid in August 2006, shortly after the World Cup in Germany. In other words, negotiations were almost over.
However, in the end, no official announcement was made, and the second Korean advance to La Liga was canceled (the first was Real Sociedad Lee Chun-soo).
In 2011, it was reported that Park, who had displayed his best performance at AS Monaco in France, could move to Atletico Madrid. He is expected to become a candidate for destination along with Olympique Lyonnais and PSG. Park eventually chose Arsenal of the Premier League.
