Following Lionel Messi, another soccer star is close to entering Major League Soccer (MLS).

“Los Angeles FC (LAFC) is discussing a summer transfer with Olivier Giroud, the highest scorer ever for the French national team, when his contract with AC Milan expires.”

Giroud started to make his name known in French Ligue 1 club Montpellier. He was the league’s top scorer with 21 goals for the 2011/12 season. Montpellier won the first Ligue 1 championship in the club’s history.

Giroud joined Arsenal in the English Premier League based on his performance at Montpellier. He excelled in playing with teammates at Arsenal. He scored double digits in the league every season from the 2012/13 season to the 2016/17 season despite his poor goal-getting ability. Giroud had 105 goals and 41 assists in 253 official matches for Arsenal over five and a half years.

Giroud transferred to Chelsea in January 2018. Back then, Chelsea hurriedly signed a contract with Giroud as Alvaro Morata, who was brought in to replace Diego Costa, failed to adapt himself to the EPL stage. Giroud displayed somewhat better performance than other strikers. He became the top scorer in the UEFA Europa League in the 2018/19 season, giving Chelsea the trophy.

Giroud headed from Chelsea to AC Milan in July 2021. Giroud is burning his last flame in Italy. He has 11 goals and four assists in 29 league games during the 2021/22 season. Last season, he had 13 goals and five assists in 33 games. He has 12 goals and eight assists in 26 games this season.

Giroud has also left a significant mark on the French national team. Giroud, who scored 56 goals for the French national team, is the highest scorer in France’s history. Giroud has scored 56 goals in 129 games for the French national team. Giroud won the title at the 2018 FIFA Russia World Cup. 안전놀이터 추천

Giroud’s contract with AC Milan ends in June this year. Under these circumstances, LAFC is seeking to recruit Giroud. Already, players who commanded Europe, such as Messi and Hugo Lloris, are playing in MLS. Lloris, who played with Giroud in the French national team, is currently a member of LAFC. However, Giroud’s trip to the U.S. has not been confirmed because there is a possibility that he will remain at AC Milan or go to another European club.
