Lozano Reportedly Rejects January Exit as San Diego FC Seeks to Move On

A high-cost contract running through 2028 complicates any exit.

Overview

  • San Diego FC general manager Tyler Heaps said Hirving Lozano has been told he is not in the club’s sporting plans for 2026.
  • Goal reports, citing Fabrizio Romano and Súper Deportivo, that Lozano is unwilling to consider offers requiring a move this window and intends to stay.
  • Lozano’s reported $7.6 million annual salary and multi-year deal make a transfer or loan difficult without a significant compromise.
  • Several teams have been linked, including Cruz Azul, Atlanta United and Tigres, while Chivas, Monterrey and Pachuca publicly denied interest.
  • Marca reports Real Oviedo has explored a loan, though any deal would require San Diego’s cooperation and resolution of substantial financial hurdles.
