Despite the news that Son Heung-min's transfer to Barcelona is difficult, claims have emerged that Barcelona may still be aiming for it.

Catalan media 'e-notics' reported on the 2nd (Korea time) 'Barcelona wants to sign a contract with his replacement instead of Nico Williams'

'e-notics' Barcelona now want to forget Williams and want to sign another winger on a free agent. Already they have proved more than Williams and confirmed the signing of a new economical winger. Barcelona turned to the English Premier League as his replacement. He is Son Heung-min, who can join Barcelona without a transfer fee because of the possibility of the expiration of his contract. Coach Han Ji-flick said, "He likes Son Heung-min a lot, and Son Heung-min can also sign with Barcelona to complete his European career.'

Son Heung-min's transfer to Barcelona has already appeared in October. Spain's Carpetas Blaugrana said 'Barcelona is already making plans around Director Deku. According to the news, Deku is already moving toward recruiting global stars. He is in talks with Tottenham to recruit Son Heung-min. His desire to win leads him to a new challenge, and Barcelona looks a very attractive option. Deku wants to finalize the contract as soon as possible. In addition to his football advantages, Son will also have a very positive impact on the club's marketing,' he said, referring to Son's possible transfer to Barcelona.

Citing Miguel Rico's recent news, the British Tribune denied Son Heung-min's transfer to Barcelona, saying, `The club wants to build a team for young players who can contribute to the team over several seasons.' However, according to the Catalan media, Barcelona's interest in Son Heung-min is still expected to be expected.

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 2021, 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 in the previous 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.'"

If Son Heung-min joins Atletico, he is expected to add weight to the offense on behalf of Antoine Griezmann. Pichahes said, `If Son Heung-min joins, Griezmann's transfer, which was agonizing over a transfer to the U.S., may be completed. Griezmann said he has never hidden his desire to end his career, so he has to watch his choices.

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.

It was argued that Son Heung-min could still be targeted at Barcelona. If Son Heung-min, including Barcelona, decides to leave Tottenham on a free contract, the number of teams to court is unlikely to be small.
