Former Arsenal star Song has been linked with Turkish club Galatasaray, Italian club Napoli and premier league club Tottenham.
Song left Arsenal in 2012 after only finishing behind Robin van Persie in the club's player of the year awards, having set up a number of goals for the Dutchman.
Cameroon international Song has struggled to establish himself at Barca, but he has a great chance to kick-start his career again in the Premier League.
He played 135 times for the Gunners and has made 39 appearances since moving to the Nou Camp.
