A local report said Son Heung-min (32), a striker representing Tottenham Hotspur, could move to a prestigious club in Turkiye. If rumors of a transfer become a reality, Son is expected to effectively end his English Premier League (EPL) career.메이저사이트

"Galatasaray is seeking to sign Son in the winter transfer market in January next year," the British media outlet The Hard Tackle quoted Turkiye media Panatic as saying on Tuesday (Korea time). "He is the subject of interest of Galatasaray."

The media explained, "Galatasaray is keen to sign a contract with Son Heung-min for a lower amount. The North London club (Tottenham) and Galatasaray will soon hold negotiations on Son Heung-min."

Regarding Son Heung-min, the media added, "After joining Tottenham from Bayer Leverkusen in August 2015, he has grown into one of the best EPL players. This versatile Asian striker has been playing for Tottenham for nine and a half years since joining the team."

Rumors of Son Heung-min's transfer to Galatasaray are heating up not only in Korea but also in the overseas soccer community. It is actually difficult to imagine Son Heung-min leaving Tottenham in terms of his moves so far. However, we cannot go against the time, and there is a high possibility that one day we will have to leave Tottenham. In that sense, other overseas clubs are also believed to be trying to recruit Son Heung-min at a cheaper price.

Earlier, another media outlet Tottenham Hotspur News reported on the same day, "Son Heung-min is embroiled in rumors of a huge transfer. Galatasaray (Turkiye) is preparing to recruit Son while his future is uncertain. He said he is determined to bring Son after releasing a few key wingers.

The report by Panatic, a Turkiye media outlet, is more detailed. Panatic said, "There were rumors of a bomb transfer to Galatasaray. The club president himself gave the manager full authority over the transfer of Son Heung-min. It is known that he will have a pre-meeting with Son Heung-min soon."

"We have to decide Son's future as soon as possible. He is the captain who has scored three goals and three assists in eight matches this season. It is no secret that Son is a key player for Tottenham. For Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou (59), to succeed, it is essential to secure key players. We will continue to see Son shine."

Another media outlet, British Sport Witness, also reported that "Galatasaray is showing interest in Tottenham striker Son Heung-min," and added, "Galatasaray is ready to roll up his sleeves to recruit Son Heung-min."

One of the reasons why Son Heung-min is constantly rumored to be transferred is because his contract with Tottenham has yet to be renewed. The contract period between Son and Tottenham is until next summer. With less than a year left, Tottenham seems reluctant to sign a long-term contract with Son. According to local media in the U.K., Tottenham will only implement the option of extending the contract for one year, which is included in the contract with Son.

Of course, there is still a possibility for a long-term contract. Spurs Web, a British media outlet, said, "Tottenham has decided to activate a one-year extension to protect the club and to agree on a new long-term contract with Son. High-ranking officials of the club may have already delivered Tottenham's decision to Son's confidants. Chances are high that they will resume multi-year contract negotiations before the end of this season." He added, "He will receive 190,000 pounds per share. He is one of the best players at Tottenham and the captain of the club. He is a superstar in Korea, his native country. He is a player who elevates the club's brand even outside the stadium."

Still, there has been no word of renewal. Spurs Webb reported, "In the early stages of the contract, both the club and the player seemed to agree. However, Son and his aides were shocked after Tottenham changed their position." Meanwhile, Son has been constantly connected to prestigious Spanish clubs F.C. Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, and Saudi Arabian professional teams that are banking on his "oil money."

Galatasaray is here this time. Time is running out. He wants to recruit Son from the transfer window in January next year. "Galatasaray wants to strengthen its position as a side striker in the transfer window in January next year. Tottenham can extend Son's contract for another season, but Son, who wants a long-term contract, seems to be dissatisfied with the defeat," wrote Sports Witness. Galatasaray is the most prestigious club in Turkiye. It has been leading the league with 10 wins and 1 draw (31 points) this season. However, the team still remains vacant, with its offensive resources Kerem Akturkolu leaving for Benfica (Portugal) and Wilfried Zaha leaving for Olympique Lyon (France).
