""We have communicated with Hirving and his representatives that he will not be part of the sporting plans moving forward," San Diego sporting director Tyler Heaps told reporters. "That was not a decision that was taken lightly. That was something that was well talked through from owners down to leadership down to myself and [head coach] Mikey [Varas], and has been communicated with the rest of the group.""
"Signed as the expansion team's first-ever Designated Player ahead of the 2025 season, the winger joined San Diego from Dutch side PSV Eindhoven on a four-year contract through the end of 2028 with two option years. Lozano was the fifth-highest earner in MLS last year, with guaranteed compensation of $7.6 million, making any transfer potentially difficult. "At the moment, we're open to anything," said Heaps regarding whether the club were seeking a permanent transfer or loan for the former Serie A title winner at Napoli."
San Diego FC announced that Hirving Lozano will not be part of the club's future sporting plans and the club is working with his representatives on an exit. The decision was made after consultation from owners through leadership and coaching staff. Lozano signed as the club's first Designated Player from PSV Eindhoven on a four-year deal running through 2028 with two option years. He was among the league's highest earners with $7.6 million guaranteed, which complicates transfer possibilities. The club says it favors a sale, but remains open to loans while citing fit and environment as factors in the decision.
