'It is unlikely that Son Heung-min will move to the U.S. Major League Soccer (MLS) '

Looking back, it was a transfer theory that was significantly less feasible from the beginning. Eventually, as expected, it received a brief attention and then sank below the surface. Rumors of Son Heung-min's transfer to LA FC ended with a brief incident.

British media The Sun said on the 5th (Korea time) 'LA FC is unlikely to recruit Son Heung-min right away. Son showed interest in Son Heung-min as a substitute for Olivier Giroud, who moved to Lil OSC, but it is unlikely that Son will go to MLS at this point. LA FC will have to wait until at least January or June next year to recruit Son Heung-min,' it reported.

This is the complete end of Son Heung-min's transfer to the U.S. In particular, this is what Tom Barclay, a reporter familiar with Tottenham's internal situation, told The Sun. It can be seen as almost 100% of the content.

It was at the end of last month that Son Heung-min's 'LA FC' transfer rumors first appeared. The 'The Boy Hotspur' announcing the news of Tottenham on June 29th 'Enze Postecoglou is emerging as the next manager of LA FC' Son Heung-min may choose to follow Postecoglou to the U.S' gave an outlook.

At this time, the contents of Postecoglou's next destination were dominated, and Son Heung-min was treated as an option that Postecoglou wanted. However, gradually 'Son Heung-min's LAFC transfer rumor' has grown independently.




Another British media, TBR Football, said on the 3rd that LA FC talked with Son Heung-min about going to the U.S. LA FC push for stunning deal to bring Son Heung-min to US' reported exclusively.

The media has left the designated player (DP) slot empty to take Son Heung-min. Under MLS rules, each club can have a maximum of three designated players, who can be paid weekly salaries exceeding the league salary cap. Olivier Giroud, who played for LA FC, moved to LOSC Lille and secured a slot. If LA FC uses the DP slot, it is expected that Son Heung-min can be offered a weekly salary that exceeds the 190,000 pounds (about 350 million won) he currently receives from Tottenham.

However, there is one very important point missing from this outlook. It was about the transfer fee.




In the end, reporter Barclay of 「Tottenham Information Tier 1」 also seems to believe that LA FC has withdrawn from recruiting Son Heung-min because this has not been resolved. The fact that `LAFC will have to wait until January or June next year' means that Son Heung-min can be recruited only when he qualifies as an FA and there is no transfer fee.

In the end, Son Heung-min has only two options left. One is how to make sure you decide your role next year and stay in the team while having a solo meeting with manager Thomas Frank. Coach Frank initially said he would not use Son Heung-min as his main player. However, as all attempts to recruit Brian Mbomo and Antoine Semeno, which were promoted in the summer transfer market, have failed, they have not been able to secure a replacement for Son Heung-min. He fully recruited Matistel, but the gap in skills with Son Heung-min is too big.

In the end, there are claims in the UK that coach Frank must catch Son Heung-min for the European Champions League. Coach Frank is likely to present a more advanced role to Son Heung-min. One option is for Son Heung-min to accept this and remain with the team until next season when the contract period remains.

The second option is to sign a contract with a professional team in Saudi Arabia and leave. With this method, both Son Heung-min and Tottenham can make a lot of money. But Son cannot play in the Champions League. Since he has achieved his long-awaited dream of winning, the prospect of using this method to raise abundant retirement funds and end his career is also gaining convincing power.

Tottenham left the decision to Son Heung-min for now. No matter what choice you make, it will be according to Son Heung-min's will. What options will Son Heung-min choose.
