British media: Los Angeles wants to sign Son Heung-min for about $20 million, and players salaries are expected to surpass Busquets

August 3 According to British media GIVEMESPORT, Los Angeles FC is in in-depth negotiations with Tottenham on Son Heung-min's transfer, with the transaction amount being approximately US$20 million. In addition, Son Heung-min is expected to become one of the highest-paid players in the FC, and may even exceed the $8.7 million annual salary of Busquets, currently ranked third.

According to sources, Son Heung-min's negotiations with Los Angeles FC on personal terms are close to completion, and the South Korean striker has made it clear that he is willing to join. Los Angeles FC also sent representatives to South Korea, when Son Heung-min will represent Tottenham in the match against Newcastle United on August 3, the game is the last game that Tottenham's business contract stipulates that he must play. It is reported that the transfer may be completed quickly after August 3.

Los Angeles FC hopes to sign Son Heung-min at a price slightly lower than the APF transfer record. This winter window, Atlanta United paid a transfer price of up to $22 million (including additional terms) to introduce forward Rut Lass from Middlesbrough.

GIVEMESPORT revealed that Tottenham hopes to get a closer price of $27 million, a price that has dropped significantly from the initial $40 million quoted to Saudi clubs. But Tottenham will not stop Son Heung-min from leaving the team, which makes Los Angeles confident that it will control the final price to around $20 million.

Although Son Heung-min had previously received offers from Saudi Arabia, he was eventually impressed by the Los Angeles FC football program and made the city the first choice. It is reported that the active local Korean community is also one of the important factors in his decision.
