Heung-Min Son stated in an interview with TV Chosun that rumours linking him with a possible transfer to Milan in the January transfer window are not true. Son also said he has never discussed a transfer to another club during the winter.

Heung-min Son, a 33-year-old winger for Los Ángeles FC, is reportedly seeking a temporary destination to maintain his competitive level for the upcoming World Cup. The conclusion of the Major League Soccer season in December 2025 would leave the South Korean inactive for several months. To address this, he may use a loan arrangement, sometimes referred to as the “Beckham Clause,” which allows him to play elsewhere during the MLS offseason. Among the alternatives being considered are Milan, a return to his former club Tottenham, or a move to South Korea. According to Transfermarkt, the player's current market value is €20 million.
