La Liga side Atletico Madrid want to sign Tottenham skipper Son Heung-min on a free transfer in 2025
Tottenham Hotspur are facing an extremely anxious situation with the contract of their skipper Son Heung-min.
The Lilywhites may have endured a mixed start to the 2024/25 season with just four points collected from a possible nine, but Son Heung-min has begun his 10th campaign in North London extremely well. He has scored two goals in three Premier League appearances, continuing his form from where he left off last season.
However, the South Korea international has entered the final year of his contract at Tottenham (Transfermarkt). This has led to speculation over his long-term future at the club, with cash-rich Saudi Pro League clubs already monitoring the situation. A potential free transfer next summer is being eyed as the Saudi Arabian clubs look to enhance their league with further high-profile acquisitions.
Now, a European club has expressed an interest in signing our skipper. According to a report from Spanish outlet Todofichajes, Atletico Madrid are keen on signing Son Heung-min from Spurs on a free transfer.

Son is well into his 30s but there has been no dip in the form and fitness of the player. He netted 17 goals and registered a further 10 assists in 35 Premier League appearances last season, shouldering the Tottenham attack extremely well following the departure of Harry Kane. The South Asian superstar’s fitness levels and continued productivity in the Premier League has perhaps caught the attention of Atletico Madrid.
The aforementioned report adds the La Liga outfit have held informal talks with Son’s agent over a potential transfer next year. They are keeping an eye on the 32-year-old’s situation in North London and have put the forward on their list of targets in 2025.
