French media reports have revealed that veteran French striker Olivier Giroud is keen to join Lille during the summer transfer window.

According to the "Foot Mercato" website, Lille has shown significant interest in signing Giroud, who is currently playing for Los Angeles FC in Major League Soccer, and sources have confirmed that negotiations are progressing positively behind the scenes.

Giroud has a contract with the American club that runs until December 2025, with an option to extend for an additional year at the discretion of Los Angeles FC's management. It is expected that both parties will hold a meeting in the coming days to discuss the player's future, especially after the team was eliminated from the FIFA Club World Cup.

Reports indicate that Lille is preparing an offer that includes a one-year contract with an option to extend for an additional season, amid optimism within the club about completing the deal, given the player's desire to return to Ligue 1.
