MLS is about to hire a French star

Olivier Giroud (37) for most of his sporting career he was underappreciated by the general public and well liked by his various coaches. Any striker will not play an important role in teams like this Montpellier, Arsenal, Chelsea, Milan and the French team. At the highest level, few things are given away. For some reason he is France’s all-time leading scorer, with 56 goals.

In June 2024, his contract with Milan expiredwhere he is still a starter and performs well, with direct involvement in 20 goals in 26 Serie A games (12G + 8 A)but he seriously considered leaving European football and play in the MLS. Not in any team, but in Los Angeles, where his compatriot and friend was already there Hugo Lloris, which will force him to take the step. The American team wants to unite the two world champions to bring down the mighty Inter Miami of Messi, Busquets and Suárez.

He has big challenges ahead: Europa League, Euro Cup and Olympics

The French and Italian media considered the agreement, but they also mentioned all the challenges ahead to put an end to a top-level career in European football.

With the Milan The options for raising a title are reduced to European Leaguewhere they are in the quarterfinals and will face the reborn Rome since the arrival of Rossi. In France you can have up to two options. The first – unless there is some setback – is the German Euro Cupwhere he will continue to be a key player for Deschamps, either as a starter or in a substitute role capable of changing games. In addition, the Olympic Games is his other great asset, because he is one of the good candidates to get on the list by Thierry Henry as one of three players over the age of 23 to be part of a squad that will be aiming for a gold medal at home, in Paris.

In principle, the decision will be announced after the appointment in Paris, as MLS is leading the race to acquire his services, but both Milan and other European teams continue to tempt him.
