Son Heung-min received the attention of Barcelona and experienced the interest of all three prestigious teams in La Liga.

Spain's Carpetas Blaugrana reported on the 15th (Korea time) 'Barcelona will try to reinforce its offensive team'

Carpetas Blaugrana is 'Hanji Flick's choice of players is very clear. Several key conditions have been approved by Deku, and conditions are the experience of the offense, Yamal, and differentiated talent. One of them is Tottenham star Son Heung-min. Son Heung-min seems to have no intention of renewing his contract as his contract expires in 2025. He believes it's time to choose his last leap in his career to win the title, the report said.



Son Heung-min's contract with Tottenham is scheduled to expire in the summer of 2025. However, no news has been heard about the renewal negotiations yet. It may be a relaxed attitude because Tottenham and Son Heung-min's contract included a one-year extension option, but it is also true that Son Heung-min's treatment is lacking. In the case of Harry Kane, Tottenham made various efforts, including trying to renew the contract immediately to catch him with a year left on his contract. On the other hand, the fact that he didn't even talk to Son Heung-min is even more disappointing because it contrasts with his affection.

As Son Heung-min's contract expired, a move to bring in a top-ranked striker in the English Premier League (EPL) with a free contract began, and Barcelona took the lead.

This is not the first time La Liga has taken an interest in Son Heung-min.

The start was Real Madrid. Real have also shown interest in recruiting Son Heung-min in 2022, and in September last year, they watched Son Heung-min as Kylian Mbappe was delayed. Spain's Pichahes said at the time that Son Heung-min's versatility on the field made him the most preferred player for Real to strengthen its squad in the transfer market in the future. Real kept a close eye on Son's move for a while and expressed interest in recruiting him, making the club's fans look forward to it.

It will be a considerable investment, but Chairman Florentino Perez is willing to give the green light to the recruitment. Experienced and talented Son Heung-min can add a new light among Real's stars. The details are still largely rumoured, but the possibility of him joining Real could be ruled out. "His presence will be a real event for the team and an additional quality to Son Heung-min," he said, explaining that Real can expect a transfer of Son Heung-min. However, Real brought Mbappe and showed no further interest in Son Heung-min.

The main character who appeared this summer was Atletico Madrid, another Madrid-based club, not Real. Spain's Todofichahes said 'Atletico is one of the teams with the most moves in the transfer market this summer. Led the league in terms of investment. Julián Álvarez joined as a major player, and he was called to lead Atletico's future. However, the team's leadership continues to make efforts and intends to continue the line for the reorganization of the team. Several names were mentioned, and one of the players who will gain the most strength is Son Heung-min.

Atletico's proposal could have been attractive enough for Son Heung-min. At the time, Todofichahes said, `Son Heung-min is 32 years old, but he is still a top-performing player, and this may be the best opportunity when his contract expires. Son Heung-min has yet to confirm a contract extension with Tottenham, and although he is playing an important role at Tottenham, his future is yet to be determined. According to some rumors, he has also received Saudi attention, but the player appears to want to stay in Europe. Atletico have already contacted Son Heung-min, saying, 'The contact between Atletico and the player has already been made, but it has been made.'"

Meanwhile, in addition to the three La Liga leaders, Saudi Arabia's courtship toward Son Heung-min is also steady. When Saudi Arabia's interest was reported last summer, the British media reported that Son Heung-min could be sold in 2025 and added that Son will be 33 years old then. The opportunity to make a transfer fee by selling it to Saudi Arabia can be attractive.In terms of his value, he said, "I think it is worth 100 million pounds (about 170 billion won) even though he had a sluggish season." Some argued that Son Heung-min could be sold to Saudi Arabia for 100 million pounds.

Barcelona, following Real Madrid and Atletico, are also interested, and despite Tottenham's stagnant renewal, several teams are expected to continue their willingness to recruit Son Heung-min. Moreover, if a player of Son Heung-min's level appears as a free agent, clubs will also be attracted.

Son Heung-min's value is still high in the market, so much attention is expected to be paid to Son's choice.
