By Manuel Meza
Tottenham Hotspur’s South Korean star, Son Heung-min, has attracted attention from Atletico Madrid, as reports surface about the Spanish giants’ interest in securing his services next summer. This report comes at a time when there’s a lot of chatter about Son’s future at Tottenham, especially with his contract situation up in the air.
According to Todofichajes, Atletico Madrid has already reached out to Son's representatives to gauge the possibility of a move to Madrid. The 32-year-old forward is currently in the final year of his contract with Tottenham. However, the club has the option to extend his contract by an additional year, a detail that is providing Spurs with a sense of security regarding his future.
Despite this, Atletico Madrid appears to be seizing the opportunity to sign Son. Under the management of Diego Simeone, Atletico is keen to bolster their squad with high-profile acquisitions, and Son is viewed as a potential marquee signing.

The interest from Atletico Madrid is not the only factor complicating Son’s situation. Recent reports have also suggested that several Saudi Pro League clubs are preparing to make competitive offers for the forward next summer.
However, Son's preference reportedly remains to continue playing in Europe, where he has established himself as one of the Premier League’s standout players. His performances under Tottenham’s new manager, Ange Postecoglou, have been impressive, and there is a sense of optimism around the club’s future.
Although the current reports do not mention Tottenham’s option to extend Son’s contract, it is expected that the club will soon offer him a new deal. Son's enjoyment of his football under Postecoglou and his integral role in the team suggest that both he and the club are likely to want to continue their relationship.
