Olivier Giroud
39-Year-Old
Lille
Ligue 1
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Giroud had a challenging first season in MLS, struggling to find his rhythm after arriving late in 2024. The veteran striker still showed glimpses of his quality, but consistency eluded him without a full preseason to adapt. In 2025, with the benefit of complete preparation, Giroud is expected to play a more decisive role for LAFC, contributing both goals and assists. His experience and ability to link up play will be key, especially in support of Denis Bouanga, as he looks to make a significant impact in his second year.
Signs one-year extension with Lille
Giroud signed a one-year contract extension with Lille, committing to the club for the 2026-27 season, the club announced.
ANALYSIS
Giroud delivered a highly productive debut campaign with the Dogues, contributing 11 goals across 44 appearances in all competitions including seven in Ligue 1 and four in the Europa League, proving that his hunger for top-level football remains fully intact at 39. France's all-time leading scorer with 57 international goals, Giroud has brought not only goals but also leadership and a work ethic that has served as a model for the younger players in the dressing room throughout the season. His extension means he will participate in Lille's 10th Champions League campaign and his own 12th in the competition, as well as his 16th European campaign overall. He also made his 800th club appearance during the season against Auxerre, underlining the remarkable longevity of a career that shows no signs of slowing down heading into what will be another demanding season for the Dogues.

ANALYSIS
Giroud has decided to leave AC Milan in the summer once his contract expires, and it seems LAFC are leading the race to acquire him. He'd join another former France legend, Hugo Lloris, in the Black & Gold. Giroud would be an instant hit in MLS, and he'd automatically become one of the league's best players.
