Olivier Giroud Joins LAFC, Leaving AC Milan and Impacting French National Team

The move could affect Giroud's participation in the Paris 2024 Olympics due to overlapping schedules with LAFC's commitments.

  • Olivier Giroud has signed with LAFC until December 2025, enhancing the team's attack but potentially missing the Paris 2024 Olympics.
  • Despite other lucrative offers, Giroud chose LAFC due to personal connections and the club's competitive status.
  • Giroud's transfer is a significant loss for AC Milan, where he was a top performer, and poses a challenge for the French national team's planning.
  • LAFC, which has struggled early in the 2024 season, hopes Giroud's arrival will boost their performance.
  • The move ends speculation about Giroud's future, previously linked with clubs in Saudi Arabia and other European teams.
