Barcelona may look to sign 33-year-old South Korean international and Tottenham Hotspur icon Son Heung-min from MLS club LAFC in the winter transfer window.

According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Son Heung-min is the subject of interest from Barcelona. The reigning La Liga champions are keen on reinforcing their offensive unit by signing a versatile attacker in the winter transfer window. So, the 33-year-old LAFC forward has emerged as a target for the Blaugrana.

The Catalan giants are accelerating their “contacts” with the former Tottenham Hotspur captain to seal a short-term loan move in the winter transfer window. With MLS pausing a break between the end of the 2025 season and the beginning of the next campaign for a few weeks, Barcelona can land Son in the coming weeks.

Son Heung-min has hit the ground running since joining LAFC in a bargain move after leaving Tottenham Hotspur as a free agent. The 33-year-old enjoyed an iconic spell with the Lilywhites, spending a decade at the North London club and capping off his fruitiful stint by winning the UEFA Europa League title last season.

While the South Korean international struggled in his final season at Tottenham, he has been exceptional for LAFC, amassing nine goals and three assists in ten MLS appearances. Son’s exploits have not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several well-known clubs. Barcelona will be among the prospective suitors vying for the Tottenham icon’s signature heading into the winter transfer window.

Barcelona’s interest in Son Heung-min is somewhat perplexing but understandable. While the former Tottenham Hotspur captain is on the wrong side of 30 and in the twilight of his career, he has shown incredibly resurgent form in his first few months in MLS.

As for Barcelona’s requirement for an offensive reinforcement, the recent injury crisis has exposed the lack of quality in depth in the attacking unit.
