(Seoul = News 1) Reporter Kim Do-yong = Son Heung-min (29, Tottenham), who is making a big success this season and raising the stock price, is attracting attention from world-renowned club Real Madrid.
Spanish media Don Ballon reported on the 5th (hereinafter Korean time) that “Real Madrid has settled 70 million euros (about 93 billion won) to recruit Son Heung-min.”
On the 2nd, British sports media Gibme Sports said, “Son Heung-min is getting the attention of Real Madrid. Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane is closely observing Son Heung-min. Real Madrid will soon inform Tottenham with information about Son Heung-min.” I plan to ask.”
In fact, this is not the first time Real Madrid has shown interest in signing Son Heung-min. Real Madrid had watched Son Heung-min on the recruitment list in June 2019. At the time, however, Real Madrid signed Edan Azar instead of Son Heung-min. In November of last year, Spanish media reported that Real Madrid was watching Son Heung-min.
The reason why Son Heung-min and Real Madrid have recently been transferred is because Real Madrid’s side is not working. Real Madrid’s flanking attacks this season are being played by Azar, Ascencio, Vinicius, and Hodrigo. However, they are less than expected, having only scored 4 goals in the league so far.
Because of this, Real Madrid are looking for a new flanking striker, and Son Heung-min is also one of the candidates. Son Heung-min is already scoring double digits for five consecutive seasons in the English Premier League, where the world’s best players are active. In particular, from last season, he has grown into a world-class winger by showing his proficiency in both scoring and assisting.
In addition, the recruitment of Son Heung-min could be of great help for Real Madrid, which is aiming to expand the Asian market. Son Heung-min currently boasts the highest ransom price in Asia and is gaining high popularity. The Spanish local media reported in November last year that “Florentino Peres, chairman of Real Madrid, plans to participate in the battle for Son Heung-min.”
This real Madrid transfer theory could work positively for Son Heung-min. Tottenham, who had been pursuing a renewal of the contract with Son Heung-min since October last year, stopped negotiations on the renewal of the contract on the 4th in the aftermath of a novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19). When Sohn Heung-min and Tottenham’s renewal negotiations resume, the Real Madrid transfer theory could be used as a leverage to further increase his value.
