A Spanish media reported that the first target targeted by LA FC in the U.S. Major League Soccer (MLS) was Atletico Madrid ace Antoine Griezmann (34).
On the 28th (local time), the Spanish daily 『As" pointed out the current situation of Tottenham captain Son Heung-min (33) in an article dealing with Tottenham's interest in Hodrigo (24, Real Madrid). This is because the recruitment of Brazilian side striker Rodrigo is an inseparable issue with Son Heung-min, the main winger.
`As' Tottenham hope that Hodrigo will be the core of Thomas Frank's new project at all costs. With Real setting aside 90 million euros (about 144 billion won) for the transfer of Hodrigu, Tottenham expressed a clear intention to negotiate. Tottenham have already asked Real for the authority to speak directly with Hodrigo, the report said.
The €90m won't be a major stumbling block for Tottenham, which has secured a significant financial base with the addition of new investors, 'As' added.

Hodrigo, which has been mired in a slump in the 2024-2025 season, is expected to lose its starting position under Real Madrid coach Xavi Alonso. He also played a supporting role in the FIFA Club World Cup in 2025. It is strongly connected to other league clubs such as Tottenham.

"Hodrigo could become Tottenham's new mainstay in terms of age and potential." Son Heung-min, in particular, is aiming for a spiritual break in the U.S. LA FC, led by former Tottenham teammate Hugo Lloris, are trying to recruit Son after being rejected by Griezmann.
Prior to Son Heung-min, he was aiming to recruit Griezmann, a left-footed striker from France. Griezmann has been active in Atletico uniforms from 2014 to 2019 and from 2022 to the present after playing for Real Sociedad. Within Atletico, Son boasts a similar position to that of Son Heung-min in his 10th year of Tottenham.
Griezmann is under contract with Atletico until June 2027. There is no need to rush to transfer this summer as we do not enter the final season of the contract. On the other hand, Son's contract with Tottenham ends in June 2026. The two sides have not yet renewed their contracts.

In the midst of this, British media outlets are reporting every day that the leadership of LA FC has stepped up to recruit Son Heung-min. The LA FC leaders plan to fly to London directly to persuade Son Heung-min, and Son Heung-min is also more interested in going to the U.S. ahead of the 2026 World Cup in North Korea and the U.S. than going to Saudi Arabia with 'Oil Money'.
Son Heung-min, who is currently visiting Hong Kong for an Asian tour, will play two friendly matches against Arsenal on the 31st and Newcastle in Seoul on the 3rd of next month before returning to London. Locally, Son Heung-min's future is expected to be finalized in early August.
The British daily 'The Sun' reported that Tottenham could let Son Heung-min leave for a transfer fee of between 15 million and 20 million pounds (about 27.8 billion won to 37.1 billion won).
'As' is smiling luckily at Tottenham. In June, many clubs were expected to offer signings for Hodrigo, but Liverpool no longer considered him a top priority, and Chelsea are seeking to sign Xavi Simmons (Leifich). Arsenal are still considering a move to Hodrigo, but the flow of funds has plummeted since Victor Jockeres was signed. At the moment, Tottenham appears to be the only club that can push for a signing of Hodrigo.
