Son Heung-min is reportedly close to joining LAFC for the upcoming MLS season, raising questions about how his potential salary would compare to Lionel Messi’s earnings at Inter Miami. The MLS continues to attract top international talent that once starred in Europe.

The Leagues Cup has brought Lionel Messi and Inter Miami happy memories in the past, but this season's edition has proven painful early on.

After ten years at Tottenham, the club's captain, Heung-Min Son is now set to join LAFC this summer after playing what is expected to be his last match as a Spurs player on Sunday in a friendly game against Newcastle in front of supporters from his home nation at the Seoul World Cup Stadium in Korea.
