French centre-forward Olivier Giroud, currently playing for LAFC in the MLS, United States, may be on the move back to his home country.
At 38, Giroud’s contract with LAFC is set to expire on December 31, 2025, and there are strong indications that LOSC Lille in France’s Ligue 1 is a potential destination for the seasoned player.
Despite his age, Giroud remains a valuable asset on the field. His market value stands at €1.50m, which converts to approximately 11.2 million DKK, showcasing his enduring appeal.
LOSC Lille’s interest in Giroud comes as they currently hold the 5th position in Ligue 1 with 60 points, a standing that has secured them a spot in the UEFA Europa League. Adding Giroud to their roster could provide the necessary experience and tactical acumen to boost their performance in the league and in Europe.
As today’s date is August 1, 2025, the transfer window is open until the end of this month. With Lille’s potential to offer Giroud a return to his homeland and a chance to compete in a top European competition, this transfer could be a win-win for both parties. However, as with any transfer, it will be subject to negotiations between the clubs and the player.
