"Our stance still remains the same. Hirving is not and will not be part of our sporting plans heading into this year. With the decision initially announced in January, the sporting director and club remain steadfast after previously revealing that they are looking for an exit for the league's fifth-highest earner from last season."
"When San Diego FC earned a resounding 5-0 victory over CF Montreal last Saturday in their MLS season opener, Lozano was nowhere to be found on the gameday roster. No, he wasn't injured or otherwise unable play. San Diego simply didn't want him on the field or on the bench -- and that won't be changing anytime soon."
Hirving Lozano, the Mexican star who gained fame scoring against Germany in the 2018 World Cup, now faces an uncertain future with San Diego FC. Despite being signed as a marquee player for $12 million in 2024, the club has excluded him from their 2025 roster and actively seeks his departure. Sporting director Tyler Heaps confirmed the club's stance, stating Lozano is not part of their sporting plans. This decision threatens Lozano's availability for Mexico's upcoming World Cup campaign, raising questions about why San Diego would abandon their fifth-highest earner and inaugural season headliner just months after his arrival.
