While AI has made various predictions regarding Premier League players, the absurd prediction for Son Heung-min has become a hot topic.
It was predicted that Son Heung-min would move to Atletico Madrid, where there were no transfer rumors.
British media ‘Football 365’ predicted 10 transfers that could occur in the Premier League this summer with the help of AI on July 10, 2024.
Number 10 was the least likely and number 1 was the most feasible.
At the same time, the media requested that the transfer fee claimed by AI be viewed only as a reference, saying, “The transfer fee claimed by AI is as absurd as saying that the transfer fee is clearly transfer like Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah or Tottenham’s Son Heung-min.”
Salah’s transfer to Real Madrid ranked 10th.
A1 predicted by AI is Harry Maguire’s move to West Ham United
Manchester United centre-back Harry Maguire’s transfer to West Ham United ranked first.
Son Heung-min’s Atletico Madrid ranked 6th and the expected transfer fee was 57 million pounds (about 101.3 billion won).
In recent months, it has become increasingly likely that Son Heung-min’s future leaves Tottenham.
This transfer window is likely to be their last chance to cash in on their beloved striker.
Son Heung-min’s move to Atletico Madrid has never actually been considered.
However, he explained that the two seem to be a good match, considering the player’s characteristics and coach Diego Simeone’s insistence on training volume. by 메이저놀이터
AI predicts 6th place Son Heung-min’s transfer to Atletico Madrid
The reason why AI predicted the possibility of Son Heung-min’s transfer is because of Son Heung-min’s remaining contract.
Son Heung-min’s existing contract expires at the end of next summer.
He needs to sign a new contract, but Tottenham are not active.
Even in the 2023-24 season, it looked like Tottenham and Son Heung-min would sign a lifetime contract.
There were rumors of a transfer to the Saudi Arabian league during the season.
However, Son Heung-min said he would not go to Saudi Arabia and expressed his will to remain at the club.
The club also seemed to have thoughts about a new contract.
Son Heung-min’s performance was outstanding.
Son Heung-min is the first non-European captain of the club
Son Heung-min was appointed the club’s first non-European captain last summer.
He may have had some responsibility, but by taking care of his individual performance and his teammates at the same time, he was reborn as the best captain.
He finished his season with 17 goals and 10 assists, his third ’10 -10′ in the Premier League.
This was a record achieved by only six players in the Premier League, including Son Heung-min.
It was a great performance considering that he missed a month due to the Asian Cup last January.
The reason why Son Heung-min’s performance attracted attention was because he played according to the team situation.
His main position is left winger.
However, due to striker Heath Charlison’s poor performance and injuries, he played more games as a striker.
He played in 23 games as a striker, scoring 14 goals and providing 5 assists, showing his performance as a top striker in the Premier League.
His ability to lead as captain was also recognized by his teammates.
It wasn’t awkward for me because I was the captain of the Korean national team.
And Son Heung-min was shown to be more happy for his teammates than for Timo Werner, who scored his first goal after much hard work, than for his own score.
New report on Son Heung-min
A new report came out last May when a new contract was likely.
According to the global sports media ‘The Athletic’, Tottenham did not sign a new contract with Son Heung-min and instead activated the one-year contract extension clause in the existing contract.
The contract, which expires next summer, was to be postponed to the summer of 2026.
As this report became known, several transfer rumors related to Son Heung-min emerged.
This is because Tottenham’s failure to sign a new contract could be interpreted to mean that Tottenham could sell him next summer, if not this summer.
He has been linked to several teams, including former Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahce.
However, there was no Atletico Madrid as predicted by AI.
Son Heung-min was connected to several teams during his career, but Atletico Madrid was his first.
Realism is also lacking.
Since Atlético Madrid is famous for not recruiting expensive players, it is unlikely that they will invest 100 billion won in Son Heung-min, who is in his 30s.
Son Heung-min, who has shown his best performance as captain, must change Tottenham’s mind by performing well in the upcoming season to secure a new contract.
Son Heung-min’s Tottenham will begin their pre-season schedule with a match against Scottish Hearts on July 18, 2024.
Tottenham will play two games in England and one game in Japan before returning to Korea and playing two games against Team K League and Bayern Munich on August 1, 2024.
We return to England and begin the new season with a final friendly against Munich.
