The United States has witnessed a new era of soccer. The ongoing edition of the MLS has seen some of the top stars in the world join the Lionel Messi hype train. Just months after Hugo Lloris‘s surprise move to the LAFC, the club is close to landing another French icon. French World Cup winner Olivier Giroud could soon board the flight to Los Angles!

Olivier Giroud is among one of the finest strikers in the game. The ex-Arsenal star will surely be a top signing, with MLS fans witnessing Luis Suarez, Hugo Lloris, and Emil Forsberg’s arrival this season. Despite his unparalleled success with AC Milan, the upcoming decisions suggest Giroud could soon be house-hunting in the United States.

Olivier Giroud’s move to the United States is a fresh sign that players have been willing to join the MLS following Lionel Messi’s footsteps. The Argentine could have been a deciding factor, as he has ample money to last his life. The Frenchman’s net worth is estimated at around $10 million, with the French star earning a hefty $5 million per season at AC Milan.

Apart from his wages from his work as a player, the soccer star also has some notable brand endorsements. Giroud is exclusively contracted with Puma, as fans saw him sporting the brand’s Ultimate cleats. A move to the United States could open more doors for the Frenchman, who will have the chance to take things to the next level under the bright lights of the country.

Is LA FC becoming the new Inter Miami as Olivier Giroud looms closer?

While this might seem like a reach, LAFC in recent months has been adopting a similar approach as Inter Miami. Rather than focusing on developing new stars, the club has roped in some of the top players at the final run of their careers. Both Giorgio Chiellini and Hugo Lloris fit the bill, and a move for Giroud also falls under the same category. To connect more dots, similar to Inter Miami, who have been roping former Barcelona stars, LAFC might have shifted their focus to French soccer players.

Notably, Olivier Giroud and Lloris have simultaneously come through the ranks with Les Blues. The two have enormous experience thanks to their impressive careers, with both a part of the French World Cup winning team in 2018. It will be absorbing to see if a move for the Frenchman will help the club establish their footing in the Western Conference standings as they look to book their berth for the playoffs.
