Olivier Giroud’s transfer to LAFC is close.

European soccer transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano said on his SNS account on the 27th that “Jiru has reached a verbal agreement with LAFC to sign a contract that is valid until December 2025. Last October, LAFC expressed interest in Giroud and made an official bid earlier this week. Now, the first agreement has been reached. Nothing has been signed in writing yet, but it is almost done.” He added, “Here we go, soon.”

Giroud is a legendary French striker. Based on his tall height of 193 centimeters, Giroud actively participates in the race from the front. He has good exchange movements with teammates, as he is nicknamed the “linked king.” Not only is Giroud capable of connecting, but he is also decisive. In addition, he made many goals with his head as he is physically fit.

Giroud drew attention as he performed well in Montpellier and entered the Premier League while playing for Arsenal. Giroud displayed his competitive edge while playing for Arsenal. After playing for Chelsea, he played for Milan for the 2021-22 season. Giroud lifted the scudetto upon his transfer to Milan. He is now 37, but remains in good form.

When LAFC and Giroud sign a contract, Lloris and Giroud will be in the same team. After moving through Nice and Olympique Lyon, Lloris joined Tottenham Hotspur in a uniform. Upon joining Tottenham, he assumed the starting goalkeeper position. He consistently maintained good performance and was appointed captain in the 2015-16 season. Last season, he had to leave the club due to injury, but he has secured Tottenham’s goal.

Last season, he suffered from injuries and saw his performance drop sharply. Lloris, who had Tottenham’s goalkeeper for nearly a decade, appeared in 25 league games last season. He played in the second fewest games since moving to Tottenham. In addition, Tottenham signed Guglielmo Vicario last summer. Eventually, he moved to LA FC.

Giroud and Lloris are legends about the French national team. Giroud has scored 56 goals in 128 matches while playing for the French national team. Giroud’s 56 goals are still unbreakable in French history. Lloris has the record for most appearances in 145 matches in French history. Lloris retired from the national team after the 2022 Qatar World Cup.

Giroud and Lloris shared a glorious moment. The two players played at the core of France and experienced the final of Euro 2016. However, they knelt to Portugal. Two years later, it paid off. France beat Croatia in the 2018 World Cup in Russia to lift the World Cup. It reached the final again in Qatar 2022, but lost to Lionel Messi’s Argentina.

Recently, Major League Soccer (MLS) in the U.S. is attracting players who have passed their heyday in Europe. The most notable one was Inter Miami. It completed the Barcelona Connection by recruiting Lionel Messi, Sergio Busquets, and Jordi Alba. Ahead of this season, the team strengthened its squad by embracing Luis Suarez.

Miami is currently ranking second in the MLS Eastern Conference with 10 points. The top spot is FC Cincinnati. Cincinnati has played one game less than Miami, with 11 points. LAFC is ranking sixth in the MLS Western Conference with seven points. It is the same as the third-place Vancouver Whitecaps.

Meanwhile, LAFC is also the team Kim Moon-hwan was on. Kim performed well at the Busan I-Park and was evaluated as a resource to play the next full-back on the right. He solved military problems by winning a gold medal at the 2018 Asian Games in Palembang, Jakarta, and started his first European career in 2021 when he joined LAFC. Kim moved to Jeonbuk Hyundai after one season and now plays for Al Duhail, Qatar. 토토사이트 순위
