Olivier Giroud Signs with LAFC, Leaving European Leagues After 18 Years

The 37-year-old French striker joins Los Angeles FC on a free transfer, aiming to bolster the team's attack through 2025.

  • Giroud departs AC Milan after scoring 14 goals this season and helping the team secure a Serie A title in his first season.
  • He holds the record for most goals scored for the French national team and was part of the 2018 World Cup-winning squad.
  • LAFC has pursued Giroud since last year, opting to wait for his availability this summer instead of signing another Designated Player.
  • Giroud will reunite with Hugo Lloris, his longtime teammate from the French national team, who also joined LAFC recently.
  • The move is expected to elevate LAFC's offensive capabilities, complementing their existing strong attacking lineup.
