Khaberni - Media reports say that FC Barcelona's management has initiated calculated steps toward a surprise deal involving the loan of South Korean star Son Heung-min from Los Angeles FC.
According to the account at TransferNews.com on X, in a move described as smart in terms of timing and goals for the upcoming winter transfer period.
It explained, "This move comes less than a year before the kickoff of the 2026 World Cup, as the player seeks to maintain his technical and competitive readiness through a high-level European experience, with Barcelona seeing the deal as an opportunity to enhance the attack line with a globally experienced player without significant financial burdens."
It added, "Son, who shone for years with Tottenham Hotspur before moving to the American league this year, has a clause in his contract that allows him to undergo a short loan experience in Europe during the US league's break. This clause opened the door for Barcelona to seize the opportunity, especially since the club is looking for temporary offensive solutions that balance experience and cost."
The statement continued, "From Barcelona's perspective, the deal represents a double gain, as it provides the team with a dose of experience and offensive efficiency, and at the same time maintains financial balance amidst the pressures facing the club. For Son, playing with Barcelona would be an experience that reintroduces him to the level of European competition and helps him maintain his key status with the South Korean national team in the upcoming World Cup."
The conclusion stated, "Although the deal is still in its early stages, its success depends on the understanding between Barcelona and Los Angeles FC, in addition to the Catalan technical management's stance on integrating a player in mid-season. If carried out, it could represent a new model for cooperation between European clubs and their counterparts in the American league, based on smart short-term loans that serve the interests of both parties."
