Real Madrid have built up a reputation for signing the best young talents in world football and developing them into superstars at Santiago Bernabeu. Yes, they have signed experienced players like David Alaba and Antonio Rudiger in recent years, but both have arrived on free transfers. Thus, it was confusing when the club were linked with a move for Son Heung-min of Tottenham Hotspur.

Son has been an absolute superstar for Tottenham Hotspur for years now, and one the most underrated players on the planet. A big reason for that is because he has no trophies to show for his brilliance.

As a result, rumours broke out that Son was preparing to take the next step in his career and leave Tottenham Hotspur, with Real Madrid believed to be one of the clubs keeping a close eye on the situation.

There is now a major update on the situation though and it looks like a move to Santiago Bernabeu might not be on the cards. As reported by 90min, Tottenham Hotspur are not worried about the prospect of Son leaving and even if he were to want out, the Premier League club would not consider his exit for another couple of years at least.

It does not look like Son to Real Madrid will be happening

Thus, it appears that the doors to Son leaving Tottenham Hotspur in the near future are pretty much closed.

Also, one has to point out the fact that he is 30 years of age now. And with years left on his current deal, Real Madrid would have to splash out a large transfer fee to sign him.

That seems unlikely. Yes, there is no doubt that he is a fabulous player but at this point of time, this does not feel like a move that Real Madrid would be interested in making, under these circumstances.
