Can Apple Care+ be transferred from buyer to seller

Hello, I just got an iPhone 14 pro max second-hand with Apple Care+ (month to month) and I would like to transfer it in my name from the previous owner. I tried Apple store, they told me to call Apple, we called Apple after swapping us around 4 times, the last representative we spoke to was "I am not too sure if it can work, let the Apple Care+ expire and maybe there will be an option". So can you advise me, please? Thanks.
