Son Heung-min (32, Tottenham) can go to Chelsea?
It is former teacher José Mourinho who made the absurd claim.
Mourinho said, "He can go to the best club in the world. His rivals Chelsea, Liverpool, and Manchester City are also included."
This is because of Tottenham's intervention. Son Heung-min signed a four-year contract with Tottenham in 2021 and his contract expires in 2025. It is natural to renew a long-term contract with Son Heung-min, but Tottenham has a different opinion. Some say that he can only exercise the option of a one-year extension with Son Heung-min. This is to get the best transfer fee from Son Heung-min.
In an interview with EA Sports FC Online, Mourinho said, "He is the best player in the world. Tottenham supporters may not be happy, but he can win. He can play for the best team in the world. He can play for Manchester City, Liverpool, or Chelsea, or he can even go to the best team overseas." The logic is that with Son's skill, he can join the world's best team.
Son Heung-min's age is mentioned as the reason why Tottenham is hesitant to renew the contract. This is due to concerns that Son Heung-min, who is now in his mid-30s, can come down from his prime at any time. 고소득알바
"Son Heung-min is a striker with good mobility that modern soccer requires. He can play in the middle and on the side," Mourinho said.
There was also a question about whether he thought Sonny could transfer even when Mourinho was at Tottenham. Mourinho laughed, saying, "No. When I was at Tottenham, I wanted Sonny to stay."
