Ten months after his last match, Hugo Lloris will make his debut with his new club Los Angeles FC next weekend. The former captain of the Blues opens the last chapter of his career.
At 37, Hugo Lloris concludes his superb career outside Europe, in MLS, under the colors of Los Angeles FC. The captain of the 2018 world champion French team has signed up with the Californian franchise for six months, with an option to extend until 2025 and another until 2026.
The native of Nice is obviously giving himself a few months to find out if he still wants to play at a high level on the other side of the world. It must be said that he has not played since April 23 with Spurs (for a 6-1 rout at Newcastle). After agreeing with his London managers to leave, he refused Saudi Arabia or Lazio, while being announced to PSG and Real Madrid.
“The final stage of my career”
Lloris announces it, it will be his very last club. “I come here to integrate, bring my experience, and always look for performance. This is the final stage of my career, I still feel the desire to do things well », thus launched the former Lyonnais, as reported by beIN Sports. He is delighted to discover this “breath of freshness” and will not return to a European championship.
The training led by Steve Cherundolo, with Hugo Lloris but also Denis Bouanga, begins with the reception of the Seattle Sounders at BMO Stadium, next Saturday (LAFC plays in the City of Angels, on the campus of the University of Southern California). The North American season resumes on Thursday with a match for Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami against Salt Lake.
