Barcelona is eyeing Tottenham Hotspur's star forward Son Heung-min on a free transfer, capitalizing on the Spurs captain's contract standoff ¹. With Son's current deal set to expire in June, Barcelona can agree to a pre-contract agreement with him this month, paving the way for a potential summer transfer.

Son, 32, has been with Tottenham for over a decade, and his contract situation has sparked concerns among Spurs fans. While Tottenham holds a 12-month option in Son's contract, which they can trigger if an agreement isn't reached, the club's management appears calm about the situation .

Barcelona's interest in Son is likely driven by their need for a prolific striker. The Catalan giants have been linked to several high-profile players, including Bayern Munich duo Joshua Kimmich and Leroy Sane, as well as Bayer Leverkusen's Jonathan Tah .

However, it's worth noting that Son has expressed his commitment to Tottenham, stating that he wants to win something with the club and will give everything to achieve that goal ². Despite this, the prospect of joining Barcelona on a free transfer might be too enticing to resist.
