French striker Olivier Giroud is set to begin a new chapter in his football career with Major League Soccer club Los Angeles Football Club (LAFC). The move comes after a verbal agreement was reached in March, with the contract running until December 2025 expected to be finalized in the coming hours.
Giroud, who will be leaving AC Milan as a free agent, has had a distinguished career in European football. Known for his physical presence, aerial ability, and proficiency in front of goal, Giroud has made significant contributions at every club he has played for. His journey has seen him compete in France’s Ligue 1, the English Premier League, and Italy’s Serie A, showcasing his skills at clubs such as Montpellier, Arsenal, Chelsea, and most recently, AC Milan.
During his tenure at AC Milan, Giroud played a key role in the attack, leveraging his experience and knack for scoring crucial goals. His move to LAFC marks a significant acquisition for the MLS side, as they look to bolster their attacking options with a player of Giroud’s caliber.
As Giroud prepares to make the switch to LAFC, fans and pundits alike will be keen to see how the French international adapts to the challenges of Major League Soccer and whether he can continue to make an impact on the pitch in this new phase of his career.
