Son Heung-min's trip to the U.S. seems to be progressing. I can feel the separation from Tottenham is approaching.
Los Angeles FC is currently actively seeking to recruit Son Heung-min. The news that LA FC approached Son Heung-min was confirmed on the 24th (Korea time). At the time, England's The Athletic were pushing strongly for the signing of Tottenham's Son Heung-min in the summer transfer market, according to multiple sources. 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.
Negotiations were in the early stages when The Athletic reported, but now they seem to be speeding up. Spain's As is trying to recruit Son Heung-min on the 28th, and LA FC's general manager John Sorrington recently moved directly to negotiate Son's transfer. Everything is going smoothly, and according to the information we have obtained, LAFC has already entered the final stage of negotiations between Son Heung-min and Tottenham.
After the individual agreement between the player and the club is completed, LA FC will proceed to the stage of negotiations with Tottenham. Since Tottenham decided to respect Son Heung-min's intention, conversations about transfer fees are unlikely to be difficult.
Son Heung-min's trip to LA FC was also mentioned through leading reporters as well as As. Tom Bogert, a reporter who is fluent in Major League Soccer (MLS) information, said on Give Me Sports in Britain on the 29th that LA FC is advancing negotiations over the recruitment of Tottenham Hotspur captain Son Heung-min. LA FC believes Son Heung-min can be recruited at the end of the summer transfer market and is currently entering the final stage of negotiations on personal terms with Son Heung-min.'
Individual negotiations between players and clubs can never be made without the will of players. In other words, negotiations are underway because Son Heung-min is willing to leave Tottenham for the United States. Son Heung-min himself seems to have made up his mind to make way for a new era, as he solved his last puzzle at Tottenham by winning the Europa League (UEL).
Even if Son Heung-min's transfer to LA FC is completed in a short time, the official announcement is expected to be delayed. This is because Tottenham is about to tour Korea. Bogert said Son is currently participating in Tottenham's pre-season tour of Asia and is contractually required to play in a friendly against Newcastle United in South Korea on August 3. If Son Heung-min is sold before this match, Tottenham will lose significant commercial revenue. According to the sources, no official announcement is likely to be made before the match.
It is understood that if Son Heung-min leaves Tottenham before the match between Tottenham and Newcastle is held, Tottenham will have to give up 75% of the contracted match allowance. Son Heung-min, who has a great affection for Korea, will not try to cause problems.
The last variable between Son Heung-min, Tottenham and LA FC is the dialogue between Son Heung-min and manager Thomas Frank. Son Heung-min returned to the team in mid-July, but it is said that he has yet to talk with Frank.
Give Me Sports will discuss his role and playing time this season with Frank after Son returns to London. Tottenham are also happy to keep Son Heung-min until this season and leave on a free agent, but they do not plan to block the 33-year-old from transfer if he wants a new challenge. Son Heung-min is also a popular figure in the Tottenham locker room and is highly regarded both inside and outside the game. That's why the club plans to respect that decision, whether Son wants to leave now or stay another year.'"
Son Heung-min is considered one of the most iconic players in Tottenham's history. Having left Bayer Leverkusen to join Tottenham in the summer of 2015, he has been the club's main striker for about 10 years and has become the face of Tottenham.
Son Heung-min was recognized as the best striker in Asia at Tottenham, including the Premier League (EPL) top scorer, 11th place in the Ballon d'Or, and EPL's team of the year. As he lifted the UEL trophy as captain last season, he was listed as the club's best legend in history. Maybe the Korean tour will be the last time to see Son Heung-min, a Tottenham member.
