FC Barcelona keeps scouring the market in search of strategic opportunities that fit its delicate financial situation. The priority is to strengthen the attack with a profile different from Raphinha's, and the club has found an option that fits both athletically and financially. We're talking about a proven player, an international, who will become a free agent next June 30 (30 de junio).
Camp Nou's offices are already working quietly to finalize a deal as soon as possible, which could be unlocked within days. The chosen footballer is fast, technical, and skillful, qualities highly valued by Hansi Flick. In addition, his experience in top leagues and his versatility make him an ideal profile to strengthen the right wing of the culé attack.
The club sees him as a possible natural replacement for Raphinha, whose continuity is not guaranteed. Although the Brazilian has had good moments, Barça will listen to offers for him this summer if proposals close to 50 million euros arrive. This situation has forced the sporting management to activate alternative plans with a view to the 2025/26 season.
An interesting option
The footballer who has burst onto the blaugrana agenda is Son Heung-min, Tottenham's star and one of the most sought-after names on the market. The South Korean winger's contract ends this summer (verano), and for now, he hasn't renewed with Spurs. At 32 years old, he's looking for a new sporting challenge and is open to a possible adventure in LaLiga.
Barça has kept initial contacts with his camp and the feelings are positive. Although his current salary is high, the player would be willing to make a financial effort to fulfill his dream of wearing the blaugrana jersey. The deal would be at zero cost, which fits perfectly with the Financial Fair Play restrictions.
Bayern and PSG approach Son
From the sporting department, they believe Son has the ideal profile to make a difference from day one. He can play on both wings, he scores, he has leadership, and a great work ethic. In addition, his signing would strengthen the club's international projection in the Asian market, something highly valued at the institutional level.
Barça is not the only team interested, Bayern Munich, PSG, and even Inter Miami have inquired about his situation. However, the footballer prioritizes a competitive project in Europe and especially values the playing style of the team Flick will manage. The presence of the German coach could be key to closing the deal.
Everything will depend on whether Barça manages to free up enough wage bill; in that sense, the sale of players like Raphinha could enable his arrival. The club is also working on formulas that would allow it to register him without compromising its long-term financial plan. If nothing goes wrong, Son could become one of the big bombs of the culé summer, arriving as a free agent, proven, and hungry for titles.
