Son Heung-Min Transfer News Reveals Barcelona Interest
Barcelona are considering a cost-cutting move for Son Heung-min as the Spanish giants aim to increase their attacking options next season.
£60 million man Dani Olmo‘s failed registration has cast a shadow over the club in recent weeks. Therefore, the Catalan side will seek free gs to avoid further financial issues
The situation with Olmo has caused a level of embarrassment so manager Hansi Flick will try to avoid a repeat of the situation.
From Son’s perspective, a move to Spain would prove an attractive option at this stage of his career. Especially, if Tottenham don’t consider him a part of their plans for next season.
In September, Son revealed that no contract talks between himself and Spurs had gotten underway. Further casting doubts about his long-term future.
“We haven’t talked about anything yet. In the future you never know what will happen, but I will give everything for this club because it’s been almost 10 years and I give everything.
“I still have a contract with the club which is the very important thing and I just want to give everything until my contract [expires],” Son explained.
Son is expected to be back in action on Wednesday night as the Lilywhites take on Liverpool in the EFL Cup semi-final first-leg. Ahead of the match, the best football betting sites in the UK have all the latest markets and odds.
