While the year 2025 started a few days ago, rumors were quick to swell around certain players, whose end of contract this summer inevitably arouses envy. This was the case of Son Heung-min, the Korean striker whose lease with Tottenham was coming to an end.
A situation which did not fail to increase speculation. To the point that the Catalan press, just this morning, was talking about potential interest from Barça for “Sonny”. Except that Barça will have to forget. Indeed, the English club has just announced that an additional year option in Son's contract had been activated. Here is now the Korean committed until 2026!
