LAFC has decided to release a large amount.
LAFC announced the list of players released after the 2025 season on its official channel on the 27th (Korea time).
loanee Andrew Moran is leaving the team. Moran joined Son on loan around the same time as Son in the summer transfer market. Although he played a great role as a rotation member, he will return to his original team, Brighton, as his loan contract expires.
The same goes for Frankie Amaya, another renter. He joined LAFC ahead of this season, but Amaya was not the mainstay of Steven Cherundolo's managerial plan. He mainly took the field as a substitute and helped the team, but he didn't do much.

Adam Saldana is a player recruited by LAFC as a free agent after seeing the possibility, but his contract expired after barely playing in the first-team game. Odin Holm, who was brought on loan from Celtic, will also return to his original team. He was hired on loan to use him as a first-team player this season, but he was out of it after suffering a major injury and has not played in the first team since.
David Ochoa, who joined LAFC's second team in March 2024, and rose to the first team, was also released. Ochoa served as a backup goalkeeper, but did not receive an offer from LAFC to extend his contract. Jeil Son, a veteran who has experienced La Liga in Brazil and Spain, was also released. Jeilson had played in Brazilian big clubs such as Palmeiras and Gremio, and Celta Vigo, a La Liga club, so he had a lot of expectations, but he failed to settle down well in LAFC.

Lastly, Alexandru Baluta, who was acquired as a free agent in the summer transfer market, also failed and was released by LAFC. Baluta was expected to help Son Heung-min a lot because he was a former Romanian national team member, but he had to leave the team without playing properly for LAFC.
Except for Moran, who adapted well to the team as a loan player, most of them are not the main players in the team. LAFC is expected to clean up players who haven't been of much help to the team and transfuse new blood. LAFC is expected to make aggressive investments as it is expected to continue to challenge for the championship in the Son Heung-min era.
LAFC is expected to change a lot in the future. This is because Cherundolo, who has successfully led LAFC for the past four years, will leave. Although the next head coach has not been confirmed yet, the coaching staff, who coached the team with Cherundolo, is likely to be promoted internally.
When a new head coach is appointed, the team change is expected to proceed in earnest. Hugo Lloris, who has played with Son Heung-min and Tottenham for a long time, will play for LAFC next season as well, the player said himself.
