Will Son Heung-min be able to make the dream that senior Ahn Jung-hwan failed to achieve into reality.
Son Heung-min is aiming to join the top three prestigious Spanish La Liga clubs for the first time in Korean soccer history.
Following rumors of a transfer to Spain's FC Barcelona and Real Madrid, there have been reports once again that they could move to Atletico Madrid, another influential club based in the capital Madrid.
In the meantime, Korean players have joined several Spanish mid- and low-ranking clubs, and Lee Kang-in played for Valencia, where he has his own history and tradition.
Now, he is aiming for one of the top three prestigious clubs. Son Heung-min has increased his chances of going. If Son Heung-min leaves his current team Tottenham for Atletico Madrid, it is expected to be a remarkable nuclear bomb transfer in the history of Korean soccer.
Spanish media outlet Pichahes reported this.
"The Premier League superstar can sign with Atletico Madrid," the media said on the 20th (Korea Standard Time), adding, "He can head to Atletico Madrid after his contract with his team ends in June next year."
The Premier League superstar mentioned by Pichahes is Son Heung-min, who ranks second in the Premier League's overall scoring rankings (124 goals).
Son Heung-min is six months away from the expiration of his contract with Tottenham, and if Tottenham does not exercise the option to extend his current contract by one year, he will be able to freely negotiate a transfer with other clubs under Boseman rules from January 1 of the new year, just 10 days later.
"Tottenham's historic player Son Heung-min may write the last chapter of his brilliant days in London," Pichahes said after announcing that his contract with Tottenham was deadlocked, adding, "The 32-year-old South Korean striker has scored seven goals and six assists in 19 games this season and continues to show his class and talent are intact."
"However, Son's future is being observed from various angles due to the contract that expires in 2025. If an advantageous atmosphere is formed, Atletico Madrid can secure him," he said.
For Son, Atletico Madrid can be a good destination. More than anything else, Atletico Madrid is slightly behind Real Madrid and FC Barcelona in the Spanish La Liga, and overwhelms other teams. It is an "underdog" that ranks among the quarterfinals and round of 16 teams in the UEFA Champions League. As a result, Diego Simeone, the manager of Atletico Madrid for 13 years, has been playing strong counterattack style soccer, which analysts say would be perfect for Son, who is still fast and capable of passing.
Founded in 1903, Atletico Madrid is a prestigious club that has won the Spanish La Liga title 11 times. Its latest championship is in the 2020-2021 season. It has also lifted the Copa del Rey trophy, Spain's FA Cup, 10 times, and won the UEFA Europa League three times.
The team is also fiercely competing with Barcelona and Real in the 2024-2025 season. Currently, the team is tying with the league's leading Barcelona (38 points), ranking second in the league behind the latter in points difference. There is only one point gap with the third-ranked Real Madrid. As the team ranks 11th out of 36 teams in the UEFA Champions League, it is highly likely to advance to the tournament.
In fact, this is not the first time that Son Heung-min has been transferred to Atletico Madrid. There have been reports that Son Heung-min could go to Atletico Madrid at the moment he was just curious about his future.
Pichahes dealt with it once last September.
At that time, there were reports that Son Heung-min was likely to extend his current contract with Tottenham by one year, so the rumors of contact between the two sides were fresh.
"Atletico Madrid is one of the busiest teams in the transfer market last summer," the media said on September 12. "The club that brought Julian Alvarez continues to work to strengthen the squad. Several names are emerging, and one of the most outstanding players is Son Heung-min."
He then emphasized that he is in his mid-30s, but his skills are strong.
"He turned 32 years old, but he is still performing well at the highest level," the media said. "More than anything, his contract term ends in June 2025. This is one of the great opportunities that the transfer market can provide. So far, Son has yet to sign a contract extension with Tottenham."
Three months after the report, Son Heung-min's contract extension or renewal has not been heard. This is why rumors of a transfer to Atletico Madrid have come out again. 먹튀검증
Pichahes predicts that French national star player Antoine Griezmann, who is a year older than Son Heung-min, will go to the U.S. Major League Soccer (MLS), and Son Heung-min will come accordingly.
If Son Heung-min moves to Atletico Madrid, Ahn Jung-hwan, a senior multi-striker similar to him, can achieve his dream in 2006.
