I wonder what it would have been like if Son Heung-min was just one or two years younger. Spain’s prestigious Barcelona has completely ruled out recruiting Son Heung-min. The general manager pushed for recruitment himself, but the manager refused because he was old, and the general manager eventually withdrew.
Spanish media Tribune reported on the 2nd that “Barcelona excludes the recruitment of Mohamed Salah and Son Heung-min and prioritizes young talent.”
“Barcelona cites age as its main reason. Mohamed Salah and Son Heung-min have been excluded from the transfer list,” Tribuna said. “According to sources close to the club, Barcelona’s sports director Deku is focusing on finding players who can provide the club with a long-term future.”
Son Heung-min and Sala, born in 1992, are proven to be the top scorer in the Premier League, but they do not fit Barcelona’s stance because they are too old. As a result, Barcelona seems to have excluded the recruitment of the two players.
News of Son Heung-min’s transfer to Barcelona poured out twice in October alone.
“Barcelona will bring in a world star from the Premier League who is better than Nico Williams for free,” Carpetas FCB, which is reporting on Barcelona news, said. “Deku is negotiating with a star whose contract is scheduled to expire.”
“Jonathan David and Jonathan Ta have already been mentioned. Over the past few hours, another name has been added that can significantly improve the quality of the club. This is Son Heung-min, a Tottenham Hotspur striker. His contract ends this summer. This could be his last chance to join the team as a favorite. Barcelona understands that Son’s versatility and scoring ability will greatly contribute to the team’s offense,” Son said.
However, Spain’s El Nacional, who first dealt with 토토사이트 꽁머니 Son Heung-min’s transfer to Barcelona, reported that Barcelona withdrew its plan to recruit Son Heung-min as it dealt with the news again last month.
“Barcelona coach Hanzi Flick did not want even though Deku pushed for Son to be signed as a free agent. He refused to sign Son,” the media reported.
“One of the most interesting opportunities provided by the FA market is that Son Heung-min is the main character. Son’s contract will end on June 30 next year, and he will end his time at Tottenham after more than 10 years by saying he has no intention of extending his contract with Tottenham Hotspur,” he said. “Son Heung-min, considered a Tottenham captain, legend, and idol of fans, will go somewhere else in 2025.”
“He is tired of not being able to win any title, and he did not participate in the UEFA Champions League for the past few seasons. Therefore, he will try to leave to any team by using his status as an FA, and he can go to a place where the trophy is guaranteed,” Son said. “Barcelona was one of the teams that was contacted by agent Son Heung-min. There was a possibility that Barcelona could recruit Son as an FA.”
According to media reports, Son Heung-min does not seem to have any intention of continuing to play for Tottenham, although it is not known to the public yet. Through the agent, the possibility of transfer to various clubs was found, and Barcelona is believed to have been among them.
El Nacional said, “Chairman Joan Laporta and Director Deku are looking for reinforcements for the strikers. Fau Viktor, Ansu Fati, and Ferran Torres are not meeting the required levels. They all have the resources to leave the team. Son Heung-min has very rich experience at the elite level, playing for Bayer Leverkusen and Hamburg, and can play in any position. As a result, it looked like he would be a very interesting reinforcement.”
However, it is unlikely that Son will move to Barcelona after all. Flick, who served as coach of Germany’s Bayern Munich team and the German national team, does not prefer recruiting Son.
The media said, “Coach Flick has already made it clear that he does not want to know anything about this option. He does not raise any significance regarding Son’s amazing skills and physical abilities, but given his age of 32, he prefers other alternatives to improve his offense. Son can come to Barcelona for no transfer fee, but he needs a considerable bonus and a very high salary.”
“From Barcelona’s perspective, it will not be cheap. Flick excluded such recruitment and made Son find another team,” he said, adding that Flick blocked the possibility of a transfer.
