Barcelona are pursuing a move for Tottenham captain Son Heung-min once he becomes a free agent, according to reports. Son's future in north London remains uncertain with his existing deal set to expire in May despite talks having taken place between the player and club.

Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou has previously highlighted the importance Son has on his team and the club are keen to avoid risking one of their star player's leaving for free. The 32-year-old is currently able to sign a pre-contract agreement with a club outside the Premier League as he enters the final few months of his commitment at Tottenham that he initially extended in 2021.

Barcelona's cash-strapped financial situation means they are looking at players that will be free agents in the summer and Son's name is amongst a shortlist of potential recruits, as reported by Spanish outlet El Nacional. Son could be tempted by a move to the Nou Camp with the club still boasting a reputation as one of the world's biggest despite their financial difficulties and can offer regular minutes in the Champions League - something Spurs currently can't.
