The Talent League … and champions. This summer, Ligue 1 should accommodate at least one or even two 2018 world champions. Indeed, Paul Pogba (32) will join AS Monaco according to our information. This file has entered its final phase and formalization is only a matter of days. But another winner of the World Cup in Russia could return to France. It is Olivier Giroud (38 years old). As explained by us yesterday, LOSC is trying to recruit the attacker, who is currently playing at Los Angeles FC in Major League Soccer.
We also revealed to you on Tuesday that Giroud and the American franchise must meet after the FIFA club World Cup in order to take stock and discuss the future. Under contract until December 2025, the native of Chambéry has an option allowing him to extend his lease for an additional year. But it is the LAFC that has the hand to activate this option or not. It will be discussed during the exchanges planned in the coming days, since Los Angeles has been eliminated from the World Cup.
A file that advances positively
There will also be a question of the LOSC, which pushes to get their hands on him. What Olivier Létang did not deny, in the columns of The team. “Olivier Giroud is a very high level player who, since 2012, has only played in very large European clubs, where he performed. He is a remarkable man just like his family. I would love him to join us because he has everything we are looking for in terms of play, experience, requirement but also human values. But it belongs to a club and I do not see how it could be feasible. ”
Except that Olivier Létang has more than one trick in his bag and that he is quite capable of making this type of transfer. Besides, this file is moving behind the scenes. According to our information, the DOGUES are confident and discuss around a one -year contract, plus an optional year with French. For his part, Giroud is seduced by the project. Some sources even assure us that the player wants to sign in LOSC. A club where he would evolve under the orders of Bruno Genesio, who appreciates the footballer and the man. The LOSC is attacking this summer!
