Heung-Min Son and his possible transfer to Fenerbahçe – a blog update

A potential blockbuster transfer is currently causing a stir in international football: Heung-Min Son, superstar of Tottenham Hotspur and captain of the South Korean national team, is reportedly seriously considering a move to Fenerbahçe Istanbul. Mourinho wants to bring Son to Istanbul Since José Mourinho took over at Fenerbahçe, the club's ambitions have clearly risen. Mourinho knows Son well from their time together at Tottenham – and this connection could now make the difference. Media reports indicate that there have already been direct talks between the coach and the player. Son is said to be open to a transfer if the conditions are right. The price: Tottenham wants 30 million However, the deal will not be easy. Tottenham is reportedly demanding around 30 million euros in transfer fees – despite the fact that Son has only one year left on his contract. Fenerbahçe is allegedly willing to offer Son an annual salary of up to 12 million euros – a doubling of his current salary. Whether the Turks can or want to cover the transfer fee remains to be seen. Competition from Saudi Arabia In addition to Fenerbahçe, clubs from Saudi Arabia are also said to be interested in Son – where he could presumably earn even higher salaries. However, sportingly, Fenerbahçe under Mourinho, with the chance of Champions League football, offers a strong overall package. Conclusion: The transfer is currently not finalized, but there are many indications that both sides are seriously considering the matter. If Fenerbahçe is willing to dig deep into their pockets, Heung-Min Son would likely be one of the most spectacular transfers in the history of Turkish football.
