It seems clear that Fenerbahce has reached out to Son Heung-min.
There was news that former Fenerbahce president met with Tottenham.
The possibility of Son Heung-min’s transfer to Fenerbahce suddenly emerged recently.
It started with the British media.
Britain’s Football 365 asked, ‘What could happen to Mourinho in the Süper Lig?
He added Son Heung-min to the list, saying, “We introduce five players who can change the league with the Fenerbahce drama.”
The reason that prompted Son Heung-min’s transfer to Fenerbahce was Jose Mourinho.
Mourinho was recently appointed as manager of Fenerbahce, returning to the position after leaving AS Roma in January.
Football 365 pointed out the close relationship between Mourinho and Son Heung-min and said, ‘Son Heung-min recorded the most playing time under coach Mourinho, scoring 29 goals and 25 assists in 70 games.
“A new challenge at Türkiye and a reunion with Coach Mourinho are possible as Postekoglou’s revolution continues without Son Heung-min,” he said, mentioning the possibility of a transfer to Türkiye along with Son Heung-min’s downward trend.
However, Son Heung-min’s transfer to Fenerbahce is not simply due to Coach Mourinho, but is an important factor in the Fenerbahce presidential election, and news has already emerged that one of the Fenerbahce presidential candidates has met with Tottenham, garnering attention.
Some media outlets, including Turkvim, reported that ‘Prior to the Fenerbahce presidential election, current president Ali Kochi appointed world-renowned coach Jose Mourinho, and it was revealed that Aziz Yldrim is also preparing a counterattack as his rival.
Former Chairman Ildrim is said to be planning to announce several very large transfers until the election and is reportedly working in this direction.’
He continued, ‘Former Chairman Yldrim plans to allocate and raise funds for the transfer of over 40 million euros (approximately 60 billion won), for the transfer of Korean national team striker Son Heung-min and for Tottenham and Brazil national team striker Gabriel Jesus. It is reported that he met with Arsenal.
Fenerbahce’s presidential election will be held from June 8 to 9, 2024,’ he explained.
Ildrim had been Fenerbahce’s president for 20 years before losing the 2018 presidential election.
Ahead of this election, Yldrim promised to appoint coach Mourinho if he is elected as president, but Coach Alli, who is the current president and is seeking a second term, made this happen first, and other cards such as large recruits are needed to win the election.
Meanwhile, Son Heung-min, who rejected Saudi Arabia’s huge transfer offer, and Tottenham, who refuses a huge transfer fee, do not seem likely to be swayed by an offer of the size of Fenerbahce.
According to British media, Son Heung-min reportedly received an annual salary offer worth 25 million pounds (about 43 billion won) from Saudi Arabia last summer.
Also, regarding Tottenham’s position, the British media stated that ‘Tottenham will not receive any offers for Son Heung-min. “Son Heung-min is being linked to Saudi clubs,” he said, explaining that even the Saudis had turned him down.
Following Mourinho, the Fenerbahce presidential election is having an impact on Son Heung-min’s transfer. However, despite the will of Fenerbahce president Yildirim, it seems unlikely that Son Heung-min will head to Fenerbahce this summer.
