If legendary Son Heung-min (33, Tottenham) transfers, an unimaginable backlash will come.

The possibility of Son moving to the Saudi league is continuously being discussed. Former Tottenham scout Brian Keane mentioned in an interview with 'Tottenham Hotspur News' that 'Tottenham has no qualms about accepting an offer of £100 million (about 110 billion won) for Son Heung-min,' referring to the possibility of his transfer.

Above all, Daniel Levy, the chairman of Tottenham, who holds the real power, has solidified his decision to transfer Son Heung-min. Chairman Levy has already fired Manager Ange Postecoglou. It was a unilateral decision, not reflecting the opinions of Tottenham officials. There are warnings that Levy may cut Son Heung-min as his next target.

'Tottenham Hotspur News' reported on the 8th that 'after Postecoglou, it is said that Son Heung-min could be next. Recently, rumors about Son’s transfer have been persistent. The star from Korea may go to Saudi Arabia. Tottenham will accept a large offer in exchange for their captain Son Heung-min.'

If Son Heung-min's value is 110 billion won, it is a sufficient amount for Tottenham to acquire new players and rebuild the club. However, the symbolism of a player like Son Heung-min cannot be replaced with money. If a beloved captain, adored by all players, suddenly leaves, the entire team could fall into shock and fear. There will also be significant backlash directed at Tottenham’s leadership.

The issue is that Chairman Levy is a power broker who makes unilateral decisions without gauging public opinion. For him, the highest value is money. There is no need for a pretext of treating legends well.

On the 7th, Tottenham announced the dismissal of Postecoglou through the club's website. Tottenham explained, 'We announce that Postecoglou has been dismissed from his duties. Winning the UEFA Europa League this season was one of the greatest moments, but we cannot make decisions based on emotions. We wish him the best for his future.'

Chairman Levy is reported to have traveled to the Bahamas to meet with officials from the Luis family, the largest shareholders of Tottenham, to gain permission to dismiss Manager Postecoglou. Afterward, it is said that Levy made a unilateral decision.

In the difficult situation, Son Heung-min expressed his gratitude towards Postecoglou on social media. He wrote, 'The manager entrusted me with the captaincy. It was the greatest honor of my career. It was truly a great honor to be able to learn from the manager's leadership up close. Thanks to him, I became a better player and a better person. You are the eternal legend of Tottenham Hotspur.'

'Tottenham Hotspur News' noted that 'many fans will be shocked at the thought of losing Son Heung-min. Despite his deteriorating physical condition, he contributed to the UEFA Europa League victory. He also had moments when he was the Premier League's top scorer with 23 goals. However, Chairman Levy will not miss the last chance to secure a large sum by selling Son Heung-min.'
