Son Heung-min on the way to join MLS to compete with Messi, Inter Miami is about to launch De Paul

According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, MLS club Los Angeles FC has taken a big step forward with an offer to recruit star player Son Heung-min in the near future. This team wants to have a competitor to Messi and Inter Miami.

"The decision is up to Son Heung-min. He will talk to Thomas Frank (new Tottenham manager) and clarify his future as soon as possible. Tottenham will let Son Heung-min decide his next move, after Los Angeles FC have presented their initial proposal and key project with the Korean star player," said Fabrizio Romano, a transfer news expert.

Son Heung-min, 33, has signed a contract extension with Tottenham until June 2026. The player is currently valued at 20 million euros (about 615 billion VND), according to Transfermarkt .

According to Korean press, Son Heung-min, after being satisfied with winning the Europa League last season with Tottenham, plans to play the final season of his current contract (2025 - 2026) when he returns to the Champions League arena.

However, with Tottenham having a new coach, Mr. Thomas Frank, there are expected to be many changes. In particular, the team's force has also had many additions in the attack line such as the presence of strikers Mohammed Kudus and Mathys Tel, as well as pursuing many other goals. Thereby, Son Heung-min's position in the main squad may be lost.

"The fact that this team let Son Heung-min decide his next move shows that they have made an implicit offer for him to leave with honor. At Los Angeles FC, Son Heung-min can reunite with his former teammate, goalkeeper Hugo Lloris," Fabrizio Romano expressed.

In case Son Heung-min chooses to come to Los Angeles FC, he will also receive great support from the Korean community here. The presence of this star will be a new symbol for the MLS (USA), besides the presence of famous player Messi at Inter Miami for more than 2 years now.

In addition, it is likely that veteran German player Thomas Muller (35 years old), who has left Bayern Munich, is also planning to play in the US and has been contacted by Los Angeles FC to join.

If Son Heung-min and Thomas Muller both come to Los Angeles FC, they will be a huge rival to Messi and Inter Miami in the near future.

Inter Miami is now preparing to strengthen its squad for this competition in the near future. The team of Mr. David Beckham as president and co-owner has completed the deal to recruit excellent midfielder Rodrigo De Paul and will officially debut in the opening match of the Leagues Cup group stage against Atlas Club (Mexico) at 6:30 on July 31.

De Paul has now arrived in Miami to prepare for his debut and reunite with his long-time friend Messi.
