'Korea captain doesn't go to Saudi Arabia. But you can go to the United States?'
While Son Heung-min's future, which can be called Tottenham Hotspur's 'Living Legends', is being talked about as the biggest topic in the summer transfer market, it seems that he is gradually becoming a member of the U.S. Major League Soccer (MLS) LA FC. Of course, Son Heung-min or Tottenham clubs have not made any official positions in this regard. It is not clear whether Son Heung-min will leave the team this summer.
However, British and European media are already almost making Son Heung-min's transfer a fait accompli.
Among them, Spanish media AS reported on the 28th (Korea time) 'Son Heung-min became LA FC's top target during the summer transfer market. LA FC even confirmed the details of signing Son Heung-min as if Son's trip to LA FC would take place soon.
In particular, this media outlet said on the 26th that 'LA FC is making great efforts to recruit Son Heung-min. General manager John Torrington went directly to England to negotiate the recruitment of Son Heung-min. This is also one reason why Torrington did not participate in the announcement of Giorgio Chiellini's co-owner a few weeks ago. The negotiations had already been planned for a few weeks."
Then general manager Torrington visited England to recruit Son Heung-min, and everything is going smoothly. We have already completed coordination with Son Heung-min and Tottenham on the details of the transfer.
If true, it is very shocking. This is because it means that Tottenham club already met with the highest level of LAFC a few weeks ago and talked in detail. However, it is difficult to confirm whether it is true or not. In particular, during the period claimed by the media, LA FC was not highlighted as a target club for Son Heung-min's transfer. Saudi Arabian clubs were more active at the time.
It is only recently that LA FC has been mentioned as a strong new destination for Son Heung-min in earnest. Fabrizio Romano, who is called a first-tier reporter in the European transfer market, is looking into the possibility of a transfer for LA FC to recruit Son Heung-min as a superstar of the new team on the 24th. It is only in the early stages of conversation. As for the transfer, Son Heung-min and the Tottenham club are expected to make the final decision. Frank also said he will meet Son Heung-min to discuss the future.

Reporter Romano's report is more realistic. LA FC's initial proposal came in, and Tottenham and Son Heung-min seem to be just reviewing it. Even reporter Romano said on the 25th that the LA FC sent the first proposal. Son Heung-min will also give his opinion on his future to Frank. Tottenham will respect Son's wishes, he added.
In the end, AS's report seems to contain some exaggerated aspects.

It is unlikely that Son Heung-min will leave Tottenham until at least early August. This is because I have to participate in Tottenham's Asian tour in Hong Kong and Seoul from July 31 to August 3. If Son Heung-min falls in here, Tottenham will not receive up to 75% of the tour's revenue. The possibility that Chairman Levi will accept this is close to zero. After marketing using Son Heung-min as much as possible, the transfer negotiations are expected to proceed slowly. Therefore, even if Son Heung-min leaves for the United States, it is expected to be after mid-August.
