The possibility that Son Heung-min (33, Tottenham) will conclude his 'North London life' after 10 years has increased. Following rumors of a deal to move to Saudi Arabia, the possibility of transferring to Fenerbahçe SK led by taxes Mourinho (62) is also becoming more concrete.
Tottenham Hotspur News, which mainly reports on Tottenham, noted on the 15th (Korean time) that "Son Heung-min could bid farewell to Tottenham this summer. After having positive conversations with taxes Mourinho, the possibility of a transfer to Fenerbahçe has increased."
Since leaving Bayer 04 Leverkusen in 2015 to join Tottenham, Son Heung-min has established himself as a symbol of the club, recording 173 goals in 454 official matches over 10 years. As the team's captain, he lifted the trophy in the UEFA Europa League final this season, achieving a historic victory in European competitions for the first time in 41 years.
Turning 33 in July after the start of the 2025-2026 season, Son Heung-min has shown fluctuating performance this season, gradually reducing his significance in the team. He also started on the bench in the Europa League final, and, due to the effects of injuries, he was pushed down the pecking order in crucial matches compared to the past, when he was guaranteed a starting spot throughout the season.
According to reports, Tottenham has already reached an agreement with a Saudi Arabian club regarding Son Heung-min's transfer at around £25 million (approximately 46.4 billion won). Additionally, Fenerbahçe, where taxes Mourinho has been appointed, has entered the competition. Son Heung-min showcased his best form under taxes Mourinho from 2019 to 2021, recording 29 goals and 25 assists in 70 matches during Mourinho's tenure, creating a total of 54 attacking points.
Both Mourinho and Son Heung-min have continued to publicly praise each other until recently.
Turkish reporter Yavuz Sabuncuoğlu reported that "Son Heung-min has opened his heart to a transfer to Fenerbahçe after a positive meeting with taxes Mourinho." Tottenham Hotspur News noted, "However, for Fenerbahçe to acquire Son Heung-min, they must match the agreed fee of £25 million with the Saudi side," highlighting the need for financial conditions to be met.
Tottenham is in a position to secure the maximum profit in this transfer market, considering Son Heung-min's high global stature and commercial value. This also adds weight to the possibility of Son Heung-min's transfer, as they are preparing to restructure their attacking lineup centered around the recently acquired Mathys Tel.
