Heung min son wanted a bumper pay rise to stay at Tottenham- but the club rejected his demands.
The Korea international looks destined to leave spur and it’s believed he’ll join Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich.
Heung refused to comment on his future ahead of last defeat to Brighton in the premier league and looked glum.
Teammate James Maddison contract is up in 2027 and is demanding a new £200,000-per-week contract. German publication BILD claim heung min son wanted a figure just shy of that.
Tottenham fans still remember what Harry Kane did for the club but have already moved on under the leadership of Ange Postecoglou. The Australian manager has instilled new ideas in this side, playing a pleasing style of football with more attacking intent.
Spurs have started their season brilliantly and have stayed unbeaten after six games. Their latest came earlier today in the North London Derby, where Son-Heung min’s brace earned them a stellar draw away from their bitter rivals.
Moreover, since Kane’s departure, he has taken on the mantle of their star man, and now the club plans to upgrade his contract to reflect his importance. The 31-year-old attacker’s current contract expires in 2026, and Tottenham are ready to trigger the extension option.
Son had reportedly made it clear he wanted to continue with Tottenham during the summer amid some interest from other clubs. Hence, Spurs feel they must secure the future of their star man, who, despite his modest age, is showing no signs of slowing down.
Tottenham could open talks over a new deal, and as per the report, the improved salary could shatter their otherwise strict wage structure. Kane was reportedly on a massive wage before he left, and Spurs now have the room to manoeuvre to hand Son a bumper pay rise.
The South Korean reportedly earns £190,000 a week in wages, and the new contract will significantly reflect his status within the squad. With a new deal, Spurs would secure the future of their star man, who looks right at home under the tutelage of Postecoglou.
