Tottenham Moving Closer to Selling €25M-Rated Star Before UEFA Super Cup Against PSG | OneFootball

PSG are set to take on Tottenham Hotspur on August 13 in the UEFA Super Cup, a high-profile clash that will open the 2025-26 season with a trophy on the line.

Tottenham could be without a prominent player ahead of the matchup, hoping to strengthen their squad before facing the reigning treble winners. While PSG was marching to the FIFA Club World Cup final and dominating last season, Chelsea would show this summer that the Parisians aren’t invincible.

Spurs have already brought in 24-year-old Mohammed Kudus and appointed Thomas Frank as their new manager. However, a key departure could be on the way out before this match, weakening Tottenham’s chances of pulling the upset against PSG.

CaughtOffside reported Wednesday, citing sources, that Son Heung-min is getting closer to a stunning move to Major League Soccer, with LAFC in advanced talks to sign the Tottenham star.

Negotiations have reportedly picked up recently, as LAFC enters a crucial stage of discussions with Tottenham and Son’s representatives.

If the deal goes through, the South Korean forward could join Los Angeles soon after Tottenham’s pre-season friendly against Newcastle United in Seoul on August 3. Should Son leave Spurs on this date, it would be before the Super Cup, and the Premier League side will be without a significant attacking threat.

Spurs reportedly value the 31-year-old attacker at around €25 million. With his contract set to expire in less than a year, he played a key role last season, scoring 11 goals and assisting 12 as Spurs capped off the campaign by winning the Europa League.
