LAFC and Olivier Giroud Mutually Terminate Contract After One Season

News summary

Olivier Giroud and Los Angeles FC have mutually agreed to part ways after a single season marked by limited scoring success but notable contributions in key matches. Giroud, who joined LAFC in May 2024 from AC Milan, scored five goals in 37 appearances, including goals in the 2024 Leagues Cup and U.S. Open Cup finals, helping LAFC secure the latter trophy. Despite struggles adapting to MLS and LAFC's style, the French striker was praised by the club's management for his professionalism, humility, and winning mentality. Giroud will play his final match for LAFC on June 29, 2025, before returning to France to join LOSC Lille, filling the void left by Jonathan David. His departure frees up a Designated Player spot for LAFC as they look to strengthen their roster for the MLS Secondary Transfer Window. Giroud, 38, is France's all-time leading scorer and has enjoyed a distinguished career in top European leagues and international football, including winning the 2018 World Cup alongside teammate Hugo Lloris.
