He had chosen to cross the Atlantic to join his friend Hugo Lloris at Los Angeles FC, in the summer of 2024. But Olivier Giroud's plan did not go as planned. Little success in America, the 2018 world champion will do not make old bones there.
And against all odds, it is in Ligue 1 that the French international striker will settle down in the days to come.
Olivier Giroud will leave California.
According to Foot Mercato information, Olivier Giroud has chosen LOSC to complete the loop in his career. The top scorer of the French team and the northern club would have already reached an agreement for a one -year contract, plus an optional season.
Giroud returns to the fold
By opting for the northern club, Giroud is preparing to take up a major challenge, in a club that targets the summits of Ligue 1. From the height of his 38 years, the French should bring all his experience of the high level, even if he will also have the task of succeeding Jonathan David.
Giroud is about to play his last game with the LAFC. A club that allowed him to discover the Major League Soccer. In total, the former Blues goalscorer will have made 37 appearances, for 5 small goals scored.
