Hugo Lloris has accepted a massive pay cut to join MLS side LAFC after leaving Tottenham in December.
The former Tottenham goalkeeper signed a one-year deal worth $350,000, a fraction of what Lloris earned in the Premier League and a lower salary than many of the club’s goalkeepers. the MLS. After turning down a move to Saudi Arabia that would have tripled his previous earnings, the World Cup winner appears happy with his decision, seeing the move as an opportunity to start a new chapter with his family on the Pacific coast.
Lloris told The Athletic: “I’ve come to a point in my career where I feel free to decide my next project and my next destination, and I’ve loved everything about MLS. They have a budget for the goalie position that they couldn’t exceed because the rules are different, so there wasn’t even a question about salary. That shows how much I wanted to come! I no longer have the national team because I retired a year ago. It was therefore an opportunity to discover a new continent with my family. California is an extraordinary place. »
Lloris loves his new club
After 11 seasons as Spurs’ undisputed number one, Lloris’ time in north London came to an ignominious end when he lost his place in the team at the end of last season. He never entered into the plans of new coach Ange Postecoglou, who trusted Guglielmo Vicario, who arrived during the season.
Lloris continued to train with his teammates despite having no chance of being selected, but things finally settled in December when the Frenchman joined Los Angeles on a free transfer.
