Olivier Giroud he dropped a cheeky hint Antoine Griezmann joining him in MLS.
The veteran striker chose to make the move across the Atlantic as part of his desire to extend his career in the United States.
Giroud has confirmed his international retirement after France's Euro 2024 semi-final exit and will no longer compete with Griezmann for Les Bleus.
After signing a contract with Los Angeles FC until the end of 2025, Giroud admitted that Griezmann will one day move to MLS.
Griezmann has always hinted at his desire to play in North America before retirement, with Los Angeles a possible option.
“When he saw the news that I signed for LAFC, he was a little jealous!, Giroud said in an interview with MLS Soccer.
“I told him, 'Don't worry, we'll meet, hopefully soon.' said “Let's see.” I know he loves the United States. One day or another he will come here.”
Griezmann has been omitted from Atletico Madrid's last two pre-season games this month, in Hong Kong and Sweden as the club look to get him back into action after an extended summer break.
The 33-year-old is currently under contract at Madrid until 2026, but there is the possibility of a move next summer if his level drops.
