Meeting with Pogba Ligue 1? Team News: Lille wants to bring Giroud back to Ligue 1 with an annual salary of 3 million euros

June 26 According to the "Team" report, Lille may bring Giroud back to France, and the relevant negotiations are progressing very smoothly.

Lille club chairman Olivier Le Tang is determined to bring Giroud back to Lille. Giroud's contract with Los Angeles FC will expire at the end of this year. Although Lille and Giroud have not finalized yet, negotiations have been going very well for weeks.

The next question is to know exactly how the 38-year-old striker is in. He is not a starter in the MFA and this year's Club World Cup, and his team was eliminated in the first round.

Le Don admires Giroud very much, as does Bruno Genesio, who has asked for the introduction of experienced players and is worried that Jonathan David, whose contract is about to expire, and Edon Gegrova, who has the terms of leaving this summer, left the team at the same time. Lille needs to find a replacement who can replace the Canadian star, the only reliable shooter when the team lacks firepower on the offense.

"Girou is a very high-level player. Since 2012, he has played for only the top European clubs (Arsenal, Chelsea, AC Milan) and has performed well there. He is an excellent person, and so is his family," Le Tang said. "I really hope he can join us because he has everything we are looking for in terms of game style, experience, professionalism and human values. But he is currently affiliated with another club and I can't see how joining can be achieved."

However, it is uncertain whether Le Tang is really so pessimistic, but he certainly doesn't want to announce in advance that Girou may arrive in order not to ruin the deal. In terms of salary, about 3 million euros per year (before tax) will not be an insurmountable obstacle, and both sides have the ability to reach an agreement. Most importantly, the Los Angeles FC will contact the constraints of his contract in advance for the remaining months. As a "designated player", Giroud's contract is not subject to the rules of the UEFA and can be easily left.

In fact, after the Club World Cup exit, he has flew to Los Angeles where he will meet with the club management, and they are not expected to set obstacles to Giroud's departure. Both sides will benefit from it. Giroud's wife and children love life in the United States very much, but the proximity between London and Lille could also be an advantage in these negotiations.

Giroud is the best scorer in France's history, scoring 57 goals in 137 appearances. In July 24, he transferred from Milan to Los Angeles FC. This season, he played 10 times for Los Angeles FC, scored 3 goals and scored 1 assist. Currently, the price of Qide's turnaround is estimated to be 1.5 million euros.
