The 37-year-old French forward Olivier Giroud has officially announced his departure from AC Milan. Giroud is familiar with the European playing style. Giroud, who was a successful player for Montpellier, Arsenal, Chelsea, and now AC Milan, is closing his time. The outstanding lights of Major League Soccer (MLS) are the next challenge for him.
Giroud Reinforces His Decision to Leave and Signs for MLS
In a video message, which was posted on AC Milan’s social media, Giroud has declared his decision to leave the club at the end of the current season. “I will play my final two matches with AC Milan,” he said. “I will carry on my career in the North American championship. “
Although Giroud did not specify the MLS city that he wanted to play in, the reports strongly suggest that he is a candidate for Los Angeles FC. This action would lead him to become a teammate of his former France player, the goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, who was transferred to LAFC in late 2023.

Looking at the time at AC Milan
Even though he left, Giroud stated his strong gratitude for the time that he spent with the Italian club. “I am very pleased with what I have done with Milan in the last three years,” he said. “My story with Milan is over this year but Milan will always be in my heart. “”Undeniably, his contribution at AC Milan was huge, as he became the club’s top scorer during his three seasons with 38 goals in Serie A. This number included a personal best of 14 goals this season, thus proving his continued goal-scoring ability.
A New Chapter Beckons
Giroud’s choice of moving to the United States is not only related to the game. He stressed the family as a major reason of his decision. For me and for my family, it’s the right time to have a different way of life, so I think it’s the right time for us to have a different fashion experience of life, he said in an interview with AC Milan’s internal media. The family makes sacrifices during a player’s career. We live our lives at 200 miles per hour and now I want to think a little more about her. ” This move allows Giroud to concentrate on his family while he is still continuing with his illustrious career in a brand new and exciting environment.
Last but not least, the farewell and the approach to the future
Giroud will play his last game for AC Milan, in the red and black jersey, on May 25th against Salernitana at San Siro. The World Cup winner (2018) and World Cup runner-up (2022) left AC Milan with a legacy of success, as he/she/they had contributed to the club’s 2022 Scudetto (Italian championship) title. The period of Giroud in Serie A is over, and fans will probably see him show his skills in MLS, most likely along with Lloris at Los Angeles FC.
