The biggest move of the transfer window has been <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a> going to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami">Inter Miami</a>. But that was an exception when looking at the rest of the market, with multiple megastars like <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/karim-benzema">Karim Benzema</a> going to Saudi Arabia.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cristiano-ronaldo">Cristiano Ronaldo</a> joining <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/al-nassr">Al-Nassr</a> was the transfer that started everything. More recently another big name like N’Golo Kante decided to go to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/saudi-pro-league">Saudi Pro League</a> on a free transfer. However, some players have rejected their offers.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230619#BUS#13951"></div>


The most recent star that did so was Son Heung-Min. The team interested in signing him was <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/al-ittihad">Al-Ittihad</a>, but the deal didn’t go through because neither the player nor Tottenham was ready to accept the transfer.



<h2>Son Heung-min turns down huge contract from Saudi Arabia</h2>



Tottenham relies exclusively on what Son and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/harry-kane">Harry Kane</a> do, so it was clear that the club was most likely going to reject any offer. Especially because the player is still under contract until 2025. However, something big was that the player also agreed to not accept the offer.



Al-Ittihad offered Son a four-year contract worth €30m per season, according to James Olley of ESPN. Those almost 33 million dollars per year were an impressive figure, but the South Korean explained his decision while playing for his country.



“I have many things to do in Premier League. Money doesn’t matter to me now, and the pride of playing football, to play in my favorite league is important. I want to play more for Tottenham in PL, I’ll prepare well when I’m back to Spurs“, Son said per Sungmo Lee.

Son Heung-Min is a class act on and off the field for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/Spurs-fan-Joseph-Watts-pleads-guilty-to-kicking-Arsenal-goalkeeper-Aaron-Ramsdale-20230217-0012.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tottenham</a>, now in his eighth season with 140 goals in 356 games, Son Heung-Min has been a critical part of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/Harry-Kane-breaks-incredible-record-for-Tottenham-against-Manchester-City-20230205-0012.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Spurs success</a> over the last eight years.
On Sunday the South Korean forward came on and scored his club’s second goal to give Spurs a vital 2-0 win and move them to fourth in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/Premier-League-Supercomputer-Predicts-Final-League-Table-20230220-0007.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Premier League</a>.
After Son Heung-Min scored, West Ham supporters racially abused the forward online and Spurs plan to “take action” as a result and urge the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/Graham-Potter-says-hes-not-the-problem-of-crisis-at-Chelsea-20230219-0012.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Premier League</a> to do the same.
<h2>Tottenham’s statement after Son Heung-Min racially abused</h2>
On Twitter the club wrote, “We have been made aware of the utterly reprehensible online racist abuse directed at Heung-Min Son during today’s match, which has been reported by the club. We stand with Sonny and once again call on the social media companies and authorities to take action.”

The English FA also tweeted afterwards stating: “We strongly condemn the racist abuse aimed at Son Heung-min this evening,” read an FA tweet. “This has no place in our game, and we fully support the authorities and social media companies to take the strongest possible action to tackle it.”
In June 2022, Son Heung-Min was abused by 12 men on Twitter and all 12 were given “community resolutions” and were told to pen apologizes to the forward. The abuse came after a Spurs loss to Manchester United.

Even though it has not been the best tournament for him in terms of goals scored, he has helped his team to build a very powerful offense. Now, he will start as <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/Top-30-best-Asian-players-of-the-century-20200513-0002.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">South Korea’s</a> captain against Brazil, but the fans are wondering why he uses a mask in each game.
<h2>Why is South Korea’s Son Heung-min playing with a mask vs. Brazil?</h2>
Son Heung-min was selected as South Korea’s captain for Qatar 2022. Paulo Bento, the national team’s coach, is confident on what the left winger is capable of and he knows he can lead the squad to success in this tournament.
Before the competition started,Son Heung-min was close to not playing this tournament. He <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/how-serious-is-sons-injury-and-will-he-miss-world-cup-20221102-0022.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fractured his left eye socket</a> during a Champions League match agains Marseille in a clash withChancel Mbemba.
In November 3rd,Son Heung-min underwent surgery to solve this injury and it was uncertain if he would be available for Qatar 2022. Fortunately, he recovered and was able to fly with South Korea and play the tournament.
Of course he has not fully recovered. The left winger needs to use a mask in order to avoid a direct hit to his face. The injury is recent, so any kind of impact could increase it or open it again.

Qatar 2022: Why is South Korea's Son Heung-min playing with a mask vs. Brazil?

The most anticipated moment of the year is here. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/qatar2022/qatar-2022-all-32-teams-home-and-away-jerseys-for-the-fifa-world-cup-20220626-0016.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Qatar 2022</a> has finally arrived, four and a half years after the last <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/fifa-world-cup-30-amazing-records-and-stats-to-keep-in-mind-for-qatar-2022-q22-20220908-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FIFA World Cup</a> held in Russia. Once again, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/Top-30-best-Asian-players-of-the-century-20200513-0002.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Son Heung-min</a> carries <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/qatar2022/qatar-2022-south-korea-submits-world-cup-roster-20221112-0020.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">South Korea</a>‘s aspirations in the big tournament.
The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/son-tottenham-salary-per-hour-day-week-month-year-20221027-0004.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tottenham</a> superstar has already taken part in two World Cups, first in Brazil 2014 and then in Russia 2018. After failing to lead his team past the group stage on both occasions, now he’ll attempt to finally make the knockout phase.
Son, who declared himself fit for the competition after suffering a <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/how-serious-is-sons-injury-and-will-he-miss-world-cup-20221102-0022.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">facial injury</a>, will be without any doubt South Korea’s most renowned player on the field. What many may not remember is that he once had to report for military service in his home country.
<h2>When did Son Heung-min do military service?</h2>
In South Korea, all-able bodied men aged between 18 and 28 years old have to serve 21 months of military service. However, exceptions can be granted to athletes who win medals at international competitions.
Son, for instance, was excused from serving the full period after winning the gold medal at the 2018Asian Games with South Korea. But he still had to completea three-week trainingduring lockdown in 2020.
<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/tottenham-forward-son-heung-min-linked-to-liverpool-other-betrayals-in-soccer-20221025-0003.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Son</a> would turn 28 in July, so he seized the opportunity to reportat the Marine Corps camp in Jeju island on April 20,while the Premier League season was still halted due to the pandemic.

“It was a good experience,” Son told the Tottenham website, as quoted by The Guardian. “I couldn’t say everything that I’ve done but I really enjoyed it. Those guys were nice. The three weeks were tough but I tried to enjoy it. I don’t know how the people felt, but for me the three weeks have been long but it was a good experience, I enjoyed it.”
Son has since then kept on displaying sensational performances both at the club and international level. Now, the 30-year-old hopes to have a World Cup to remember with South Korea.
