Barcelona is watching Son Heung-min, who is likely to become a free agent.
Spain's El Nacional said on the 5th (Korea time) 'Barcelona could have a great opportunity to strengthen its offense. Tottenham striker Son Heung-min reports his contract ends in June 2025, and he will seriously consider the possibility of change.
"Son Heung-min is an ideal profile for Korean coach Han Ji-flick in the process of reinforcing his attack," El Nacional said. His professionalism and dedication are perfectly suited to the club. However, Tottenham does not want to lose players easily. Barcelona could get a special opportunity to sign Son, and it all depends on whether they can give Son confidence that Camp Nou is the perfect stage for the end of his career.
The British Daily Mail also reported that Barcelona, which is suffering from financial difficulties, can reach a pre-contract agreement with Son Heung-min this month.

Son Heung-min received Barcelona's attention because of the stagnation of his contract renewal. Whether Son Heung-min will renew his contract has already been a hot topic since last summer. It was Tottenham's attitude to renew the contract. Ahead of the expiration of his contract with Son Heung-min, who is already a legend of the club, he withdrew his long-term contract plan and chose to turn to a one-year extension option. England's TBR Football said at the time that `Tottenham had no plans to negotiate re-signing with Son Heung-min. Son Heung-min said he was shocked by the club's decision, adding that `Son Heung-min and his camp discussed a new contract with Tottenham, and both sides were positive about the contract extension, but the club seems to have suddenly changed its attitude.'
Of course, it was expected that the renewal of the contract would take place. It was a natural step considering that Son Heung-min is already one of the leading 'Living Legends' at Tottenham. Considering Son Heung-min's achievements and evaluations at Tottenham, it is also considered a legend that is included in the top 10 in the club's history. Son Heung-min has exceeded 400 Tottenham games and is at the top of the all-time ranking with 169 Tottenham goals. It also ranked No. 1 in Tottenham's career help ranking.
However, Tottenham did not easily negotiate re-signing. Son Heung-min also hinted that there was no negotiation until this season, when the contract was about to expire. Son Heung-min attended a press conference ahead of the Europa League against Karabakh FK and was asked about renewing his contract, saying, `We haven't said anything yet" he said.

The reason why Tottenham decided to extend the contract by one year instead of renewing the contract was simple. It was to save money. Give Me Sports of England 'Tottenham will sign Son Heung-min a 12-month extension instead of offering him a profitable new contract. The club's leadership has decided to remain cautious rather than put more pressure on salaries' he said, adding that Tottenham's leaders are reluctant to give Son big money by renewing his contract for a long time.
Tottenham's attitude also drew attention. Global sports media ESPN shed light on the situation of players whose contracts expire in the summer of 2025. Son Heung-min couldn't be left out. Son Heung-min, whose contract with Tottenham expires in the summer of 2025, has yet to hear any specific renewal. The media conveyed the club's attitude along with this situation.
ESPN said `Son Heung-min has been one of the best left wingers in the league for a while. He broke the defender's balance with his ability to finish with both feet, and his speed and shooting ability made a great goal over the years.'Son Heung-min started to have injury problems accumulating, which is expected for a player in his mid-30s. However, it is still fun and helpful for the team when they play. This season is contributing to creative panna, solid shots, he said.

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.
