Los Angeles FC (LAFC) is finalizing a deal to sign Olivier Giroud, the France all-time leading scorer, on a contract guaranteed through December 2025. The deal, set to start after the EUROs, has been in the works since interest was revealed in October, with a formal bid made earlier this week. Despite receiving higher offers from other clubs, LAFC emerged as the favorites, partly due to Hugo Lloris advocating for his friend Giroud to join him in MLS. Giroud's potential move, not yet signed but close to being finalized, follows his impressive performance of 12 goals and 8 assists in 1,851 league minutes for AC Milan this year. This transfer is seen as a significant coup for LAFC, enhancing their competitive edge in the league.
