In the end, the problem is money, Spanish media claimed.

Spanish media ‘Pichajes’ reported on March 18 (KST) that ‘Tottenham are having serious problems with Son Heung-min. Son Heung-min is one of the biggest stars in the Premier League. He is unhappy at the club,” the outlet reported.

To summarize Pichajes’ claim, Son was unhappy because Tottenham wanted to extend his contract for another year while keeping his salary.

While it’s understandable that Son would be upset, he has no recourse since his contract runs through 2021.

Pichajes concluded: ‘Son Heung-min’s relationship with the Tottenham board is not the best. Spurs captain Son Heung-min is not in agreement with the club’s offer. The frustration stems from Tottenham wanting to renew his contract on the same terms. He feels that this is not enough given his outstanding performances.

Pichajes added: “Son Heung-min has been a key player for Tottenham. He feels that his dedication and performance should be reflected in the length of his contract and his salary, but as TalkSPORT reported, the Spurs hierarchy are looking to activate a unilateral clause that will extend his contract without any salary adjustment.

In short, Son wants to re-sign on new terms, according to Pichajes.

Son reportedly signed a 4+1 year contract with Tottenham in 2021.

The guaranteed contract runs until the summer of 2025.

The club has an option for the ‘+1’ year.

If Spurs exercise the option, the contract will be extended until the summer of 2026.

It’s understandable that Son would want a multi-year deal of at least two years with an increased weekly wage, not just a one-year extension.

He is the current captain of Tottenham, 카지노사이트 and with Harry Kane gone, there is no bigger star than Son Heung-min.

But it’s also understandable that Tottenham would be coldly tapping the calculator.

In 2026, Son will be 34 years old. In recent years, with the introduction of scientific conditioning methods and state-of-the-art equipment, more and more players are playing into their late 30s, but the mid-30s is the age at which players should consider retirement.

Son Heung-min has started to suffer from injuries this season.

Tottenham have already secured a number of options for Son’s successor in the summer transfer window. They signed three teenage wingers in Wilson Odegaard, Min-Hyuk Yang, and Mikey Moore.

Son was injured on Sept. 27 during a home game against Qarabag FK in the first leg of the Europa League.

He limped off in the 26th minute of the game after complaining of thigh pain.

He was subsequently ruled out of Manchester United’s match against Manchester United in the sixth round of the Premier League, Ferencvarosi in the second round of the Europa League, and Brighton in the seventh round of the Premier League. Son was also not called up to the squad for the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 North American World Cup.

Son made his return to the squad on Sept. 19 against West Ham in the eighth round of the Premier League. He was involved in three goals in the 4-1 win, but was substituted after 70 minutes. After the game, he felt pain again and didn’t train.

He then missed the Europa League match against AZ Alkmaar and the Premier League round nine match against Crystal Palace. He was expected to return against Manchester City in the round of 16 of the Carabao Cup, but did not.

Son returned to action on March 3 against Aston Villa in the Premier League, almost two weeks later.
