Heung-min Son is a target for Real Madrid this summer, according to Rudy Galetti, a reporter for La Liga giants Real Madrid (via the Daily Mail).
Earlier in the summer, Real Madrid made every effort to lure Kylian Mbappe away from Paris Saint-Germain. The French superstar took his time before deciding to sign a three-year agreement to extend his contract with the Parisians.
According to reports, Los Blancos are eager to recover from the shock and have their sights set on Son to strengthen their attack.
Son had an outstanding 2021–22 season at Tottenham Hotspur, scoring 23 Premier League goals to share the Golden Boot with Mohamed Salah of Liverpool. It's even more surprising that none of the 29-year-goals old's were penalty kicks, which makes it an exceptional accomplishment in the English top division. The South Korean international was essential to Spurs' top-four finish.
Son, who has been a member of Tottenham since 2015, extended his contract until June 2025 by signing a new agreement last summer. Uncertainty surrounds the price tag Real Madrid will demand to entice Son away from Spurs. The north London team is not anticipated to let him depart without a fight after the season he recently had. Son, who is valued at €75 million (according to Transfermarkt), has played in 324 games for Spurs in all competitions over the past seven seasons, scoring 131 goals and dishing out 73 assists.
Real Madrid needs offensive reinforcements, but a transfer for Son seems doubtful.
Los Blancos might use some reinforcements with Gareth Bale and Isco likely to leave the team as free agents and Marco Asensio linked to AC Milan and Liverpool.
Although Karim Benzema had his best-ever season last year (44 goals and 15 assists), it is unlikely that the 34-year-old will be as productive in the coming season.
Son, who has established himself as a capable goal scorer, could undoubtedly strengthen Real Madrid's attack, but we don't think he'll move to Madrid this summer.
Son said he felt "at home" after signing a contract extension last summer, and we do not see that changing (according to the Daily Mail).
Additionally, Madrid's ability to pull off this unusual acquisition is made all the less likely by the fact that Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is one of the fiercest negotiators in football.
