Son Heung-min seems to want to transfer to Barcelona.

Spain's Mundo Deportivo said on the 7th (Korea Standard Time) "Barcelona's president Juan Laporta wants to recruit Dani Olmo and Fauvictor other than achieving the drag. After talking with Deku's sports director and Han Ji Flick, he came to the conclusion that the team should be strengthened. From our understanding, the most necessary position is the striker. The priority position for reinforcement is the left wing forward, which was not reinforced in the summer. Strikers who play in the side and score are the priority, he reported.

Another player whose name was offered to Barcelona through an intermediary is Tottenham's Son Heung-min. The Sun, a British media outlet, said on the 6th that Son Heung-min, whose contract with Barcelona will end on June 30, 2025, will already be in contact. Tottenham is reluctant to offer an extension of the contract, and Son Heung-min is also busy completing his 10-year English Premier League (EPL) career, so Son Heung-min can be recruited."

Fernando Polo, the reporter who wrote this article, is considered to be a very good reporter for Barcelona news. He is also very trusted by Barcelona fans. Although the article of The Sun, a British tabloid, was partially quoted, it is the information of reporter Polo that Son Heung-min made a counter-proposal to Barcelona through his agent.

Son Heung-min's reverse proposal to Barcelona can be seen as a clear willingness to leave Tottenham. It is not the first time that Son Heung-min has made a counter-proposal to Barcelona.

Spanish media outlet El Nacional, which has consistently connected Son with Barcelona since October last year, said a month ago that `At the time, Son Heung-min, Tottenham's historical figure and one of the EPL's most iconic players, sent a counter-offer to Barcelona, according to the latest information. Son Heung-min's contract expires at the end of this season, so there is an open possibility of signing him without transfer costs" he said.

Even if the transfer to Barcelona does not happen, it seems that he is planning to say goodbye to Tottenham. In other words, it was decided that Tottenham could no longer try to win the championship. Tottenham has recently been building a team with young players looking to the future. Son Heung-min, who is in his mid-30s, is in a hurry to win. Son Heung-min will also want a transfer because the club and the player's timeline do not match.

Crucially, Tottenham has no clear intention of holding Son Heung-min. Son Heung-min, who played only for Tottenham for the past 10 years. If Son Heung-min had tried to leave Tottenham, he could have left earlier, but Son Heung-min even signed a long-term contract in 2021 when Tottenham began to collapse. Son Heung-min, who even has a special affection for the club, is only looking at Tottenham as Son Heung-min gets older.

Tottenham is expected to consider the future with Son Heung-min after watching the situation by invoking a one-year extension clause, not a renewal proposal. Son Heung-min must have been very disappointed with the club's move as he has delayed even invoking a one-year extension.

Now, rumors of Son Heung-min's transfer to Barcelona are heating up to the extent that he is also interested in the UK.

The Sun reportedly said on the 6th that Barcelona is aiming for Son Heung-min as a free agent. Son Heung-min's contract with Tottenham is scheduled to expire at the end of the season. Barcelona has been struggling with financial problems in recent years, but is considering recruiting players with no transfer fees.'

Also on British Sports Bible, another outlet, "Barcelona is trying to get four players on free agency in a very eye-catching deal this summer. The list includes Bayer Leverkusen's Jonathan Ta, Bayern Munich duo Joshua Kimmich and Leroy Sane. Barcelona are also aiming to recruit Tottenham's Son Heung-min from the EPL," he reported.

Since El Nacional is not a very trusted media, Son Heung-min's transfer to Barcelona seemed like a simple scarecrow, but with the report from Mundo Deportivo, it is not a story that is just empty.

Looking back at what El Nacional reported on the 4th "Barcelona could have a chance to strengthen its offensive with a world-class player. Tottenham star Son Heung-min will be out of contract in June 2025. Tottenham are looking to re-sign, but South Korean striker Son Heung-min will be seriously considering a possible transferBarcelona is considering recruiting Son Heung-min, he said.

El Nacional expected that if Son Heung-min moves to Barcelona, he will help Robert Lewandowski to add additional points and creativity to the offense. He also predicted that the commercial effect would be great due to the meeting between Son Heung-min, the best superstar in Asian history, and Barcelona, the world's most popular club.

However, Son Heung-min is not the only player Barcelona is aiming for. Mundo Deportivo noted that Marcus Rashford (Manchester United), Rafael Leão (AC Milan) and Luis Diaz (Liverpool) are also watching from Barcelona.
