Spurs have already been active in the transfer market for new manager Thomas Frank.
The club have brought in West Ham attacker Mohammed Kudus and are interested in Nottingham Forest star Morgan Gibbs-White.
Son, 33, could head for the exit door as SunSport understands Spurs would accept an offer between £15m and £20m.
A potential switch to the MLS would still rely on the Europa League winner agreeing to the move.
The former Bayer Leverkusen ace could instead decide to stay and fight for his spot at N17.
Son is involved in the discussions over the transfer with all parties.
However, a move will be immediate as Son is likely to stay at Spurs for their fixtures during the pre-season tour of Asia.
Last season's 17th-placed Premier League finishers face Newcastle in Seoul, South Korea on August 3.
This match follows on from the North London derby against Arsenal in Hong Kong.
If Spurs were to sell Son before facing the Toon, they would then forfeit up to 75 per cent of the fee they would receive for playing.

Son is down as a "key player" in the contract for the touring Premier League side.
If he were to travel with the squad but not play, then Spurs would be docked half their fee.
The South Korean international is hugely popular in his homeland and wider Asia.
Last season, Son scored seven times and assisted nine goals in 30 Premier League appearances.

Despite the club's shocking performance domestically, Son did become the first captain to lift a trophy since Ledley King in 2008.
Frank has spoken about Son's future and appears to be happy if he decides to stay.
He said: "Right now, I have a player who is fully committed and training well.
"If a player has been at a club a long time, then there will always be a decision for the club to take."
As well as Kudus, Spurs have already signed Japanese ace Kato Takai and made Mathys Tel 's loan from Bayern Munich permanent.
The club has also welcomed young defender Luka Vuskovic from Hajduk Split.
Their pursuit of Gibbs-White is at a standstill despite triggering his £60m release clause.
Forest have halted the transfer after claiming the approach from Spurs was "illegal".
