Confident information has emerged that Los Angeles (LA) FC is actively moving to recruit Son Heung-min.
According to multiple sources, LA FC is strongly pushing to recruit Tottenham Hotspur star Son Heung-min from the summer transfer market, according to the British The Athletic on the 2nd (Korea time). LAFC's interest in Son has already been reported, but LAFC is pushing hard to bring the South Korean international to the league in the coming weeks, it reported.
The media went on to say that although no concrete progress has been made yet, negotiations are continuing, and LA hopes Son will be persuaded to join the team for the rest of the 2025 season and beyond. 'The second transfer window for Major League Soccer (MLS) will run from July 24 to Aug. 21'
The media analyzed that Son Heung-min was pushed out of the competition for Tottenham's starting lineup. Recently, new Tottenham manager Thomas Frank replied to a question about Son Heung-min's transfer rumors, saying, `It's tricky.' He said "Now I have a player who is committed and training well, and I'm going to play tomorrow. "If you've been with a club for a long time, there's always a moment when the club has to make a decision," he said, hinting at a breakup with Son Heung-min.
"Son Heung-min has been regarded as one of the best players in the Premier League (EPL) over the past decade, and he is likely to be one of the biggest recruits in MLS history. Son Heung-min is a hugely popular player throughout Korea and Asia, and can also bring great commercial effects in the LA region. LA has the largest Korean population (320,000) in the United States, more than New York (215,000) and Washington, D.C. (95,000).
LAFC also has an environment that can handle Son Heung-min. MLS has a designated player contract called Beckham Rule. MLS has an annual salary cap that each club can spend on players, but three players can sign a designated player contract regardless of the annual salary cap for each club. LA FC recently terminated its contract with Olivier Giroud, leaving two spots empty on its designated player contract.
The Athletic will reunite with goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, who was an old teammate during his time at Tottenham, if Son Heung-min signs with LA FC. Lloris joined LAFC in 2024 and has made 52 league appearances to date,' it added.
Fabrizio Romano, an expert on the European transfer market, also immediately posted a message on his social media account that `LAFC contacted Son to sign him as a new superstar this summer. Negotiations are currently in the early stages, and LA FC are trying to recruit, but Son Heung-min and Tottenham will make the final decision. Frank also plans to talk with Son and discuss his future course of action.
