Son Heung-min's transfer to the U.S. Major League Soccer (MLS) is definitive. Team captain Son Heung-min's next destination to leave Tottenham is LAFC (Los Angeles FC).
European soccer transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano said on his social network service (SNS) on the 4th (Korea time) that "(Son Heung-min's transfer to LAFC, here we go!" 'Here we go!' is an expression Romano uses when a footballer's transfer is almost certain.
Romano added "A verbal agreement has been reached between all parties. Son Heung-min is ready to complete his MLS transfer, and Tottenham will receive more than 15 million euros (about 24 billion won) from this transfer.
He added that `Son Heung-min did not return to the UK with the Tottenham squad and is currently waiting to sign a document with LAFC.'
Son Heung-min, who played in the English Premier League for 10 years, recently chose to say goodbye to Tottenham. The decision was made on the judgment that Son Heung-min himself could no longer help Tottenham last season.
Above all, he won the UEFA Europa League in the 2024-2025 season. It was a trophy that Son Heung-min had always longed for, and it was a good opportunity to achieve the end of the season. From the perspective of Korean soccer fans, they would like to see them play in the five major European leagues (Spain, England, Germany, France, and Italy) even if they go to other teams, but Son Heung-min chose the United States. In fact, it is also interpreted that retirement is not far away.
There is a possibility that the 2026 North Korea-China World Cup will be Son's last World Cup. As the World Cup will be held in the United States, it may be a good option to adapt to the local area in advance.
Earlier, Son Heung-min said "In a way, the World Cup is the most important thing. It could be the last World Cup, so I think the environment (to decide the team) was the biggest"A place where you can play soccer happily was also important in your choice, and you're organizing your mind."
Son started in a friendly match against Newcastle United in South Korea on the 3rd. After being replaced in the second half, he sat on the bench and cried and missed the farewell with Tottenham.
