Lille has expressed interest in signing Olivier Giroud from LAFC, where the veteran striker has struggled to perform, scoring just three goals in 20 appearances since his arrival a year ago. Although Giroud is contracted with LAFC until the end of the 2025 season, his high salary of $3.68 million as a designated player may pose a challenge for Lille. This potential transfer would mark Giroud’s return to Ligue 1 for the first time since 2012, when he left for Arsenal, after a successful career that included winning a World Cup and a Champions League title.
Despite being France's all-time leading scorer with 57 goals, Olivier Giroud has struggled in MLS, netting only three times in 20 appearances for LAFC.
Giroud, contracted with LAFC until 2025, may need to reconsider his high salary demands if Lille aims to secure his return to Ligue 1.
