Fabrizio Romano provides big update on Heung-min Son’s future at Tottenham
The possibility of Heung-min Son departing Tottenham Hotspur this summer is beginning to feel increasingly realistic, following a new revelation from respected transfer expert Fabrizio Romano. According to Romano, behind-the-scenes activity involving Son’s representatives could be a major indication that a move away from North London is on the cards.
Just a few weeks ago, Son experienced one of the proudest moments of his illustrious Spurs career—lifting the UEFA Europa League trophy in Bilbao, a crowning achievement that prompted the South Korean star to declare himself a true Tottenham legend. However, that memorable triumph might prove to be his farewell chapter in a Spurs shirt.
With only one year remaining on his current contract, Tottenham are understood to be seriously weighing up the possibility of cashing in on their captain while his market value remains significant. Reports over the past month have increasingly linked Son with a big-money move to the Saudi Pro League, where clubs are reportedly eager to lure him with lucrative offers.
Son Rejected Saudi Move Last Summer – But Situation Has Changed
Interestingly, this isn’t the first time the Saudi Pro League has come knocking for Son. Last summer, The Times reported that the forward had turned down enormous financial incentives to make the move to the Middle East, making it clear he was still committed to helping Spurs on the pitch.
However, circumstances appear to have shifted. Tottenham’s decision-making is now influenced by financial and squad-building considerations. With Son turning 33 next month, the club may see this summer as their last chance to secure a sizable transfer fee for the aging star—especially given that talks over a contract extension have reportedly stalled.
Fabrizio Romano Reveals Saudi Clubs Are Making Moves
Fabrizio Romano has now added fuel to the fire, revealing on the DAZN Football YouTube channel that Son’s representatives have been actively engaged in discussions with clubs in the Saudi Pro League in recent weeks. Although Romano stopped short of confirming whether those talks are advanced or if an agreement is imminent, the mere existence of such conversations is telling.
This development signals a potential shift in Son’s stance. The fact that his camp is open to dialogue with Saudi officials could indicate a new willingness to consider the move—something he firmly resisted in 2023. If nothing else, it shows that both Son and his team are at least exploring their options.
Is It the Right Time for Tottenham to Let Son Go?
For Tottenham fans, the idea of Son leaving is a painful one. The South Korean international has become a symbol of dedication, loyalty, and excellence at the club. His goals, leadership, and unbreakable bond with the supporters have made him one of the most cherished players in Spurs’ modern history.
However, football is a business, and difficult decisions often need to be made. With Spurs in a transitional phase following the controversial sacking of head coach Ange Postecoglou, selling Son could be part of a broader strategy to refresh the squad and reinvest in younger talent. A move to Saudi Arabia could fetch a substantial fee—money that could be reinvested into building a new foundation for long-term success.
A Legacy Cemented, No Matter What Happens Next
Regardless of what the future holds, one thing is certain: Heung-min Son’s legacy at Tottenham Hotspur is secure. From dazzling solo goals to crucial match-winners, and from his enduring professionalism to the Europa League triumph, Son has etched his name into club folklore. If this summer does mark the end of his Spurs journey, he will depart not just as a fan favourite, but as one of the greatest players ever to wear the Lilywhite shirt.
As the transfer window approaches and speculation intensifies, Tottenham supporters will be watching closely—hoping for clarity, and perhaps even a last dance with their beloved captain.
