Spain's El Goldie Hidal reported on the 3rd (Korea time) that Barcelona may leave Ansu Fati and Ferran Torres in 2025 and fill the spot with Son Heung-min. Son Heung-min's contract with Tottenham runs until June 30, 2025. The media estimated Son's current market value at 45 million euros (about 66 billion won).
The biggest drag on Son Heung-min's transfer to Barcelona is expected to be his salary.
El-Goldilhthal said, "Son Heung-min is a key player in Korean soccer and plays an important role in the national team along with Kim Min-jae"Barcelona is considering breaking up with Ansu Fati and Ferran Torres, which could give Son a chance."
However, he predicted that Son Heung-min's high salary could hamper Barcelona's choice.
"Even if he moves to a free agent, Son Heung-min's annual salary of 12 million euros per season will be a burden," El Goldihtal said.
Despite such reports, Son Heung-min's chances of moving to Barcelona are close to 'zero'. This is because Barcelona is focusing on recruiting talents who can take responsibility for the future of the team.
Tribuna said on the 2nd that `Barcelona has ruled out recruiting Son Heung-min' and" is focusing on finding young players who can paint the long-term future of the club.'

The Athletic added "Son Heung-min's experience is important for Tottenham. He said, "The link that will continue generations…"Son Heung-min will be with us next season as well", he explained.
Fabrizio Romano, an expert in the European soccer transfer market, also recently posted on his social networking service that `Tottenham plans to invoke the option of extending Son's contract until 2026.'
Son Heung-min is set to end his contract with Tottenham next summer. There has been no news of the renewal of the contract yet. The one-year extension option is most likely to be triggered, but the next contract is not expected to be easy. Since last season, his performance in offensive aspects such as goal determination has not been seen as much as in his heyday.
If Tottenham invokes a one-year extension option, it is expected to sell Son Heung-min to another team to collect the transfer fee. Son Heung-min was rumored to be transferred not only to Barcelona, but also to leading EPL teams, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), and Atletico Madrid. The Saudi Arabian League also continues to send love calls to Son Heung-min.
