The leader of the South Korean national team and experienced “Tottenham” player Son Heung-min may take a new step in his career. The 33-year-old winger received a very serious and financially attractive offer from one of the well-known clubs in the United States — “Los Angeles”.
According to available information, the “Los Angeles” club is offering Son Heung-min an annual salary of around 20 million US dollars. This was reported by the reliable transfer-focused Italian journalist Nicolo Schira. He emphasized that if the deal goes through, Son will become one of the highest-paid players in MLS history.
Currently, the absolute leader in salary terms in MLS is Lionel Messi. The Argentine superstar, who plays for “Inter Miami”, earns 20.45 million dollars per season. Even if Son also moves to the USA and his salary is slightly lower, he will still be among the highest-paid players in the league.
At the same time, earlier the “Tottenham Hotspur” club management officially announced that Son Heung-min is leaving the club. As a result, the player's future has become the subject of wide discussion. Sources write that “the Spurs” hope to earn around 20 million pounds from his departure.
Son Heung-min’s move to the USA may be beneficial not only financially, but also in increasing his brand value. In recent years, MLS has attracted several stars, which has significantly raised interest in the league. The arrival of a high-level player like Son will benefit not only the club but also all of American football.
Now, all attention is on Son Heung-min’s decision. Will he continue his career in European football or try himself in a new country and a new environment? — This question may be answered in the coming days.
