Hugo Lloris has significantly reduced his salary to join Los Angeles FC.

It is a franchise that breathes France and its Ligue 1, that of Los Angeles FC, one of the richest in Major League Soccer (MLS), this 2024-2025 season. The two former French internationals, 2018 world champion with the Blues, play there, goalkeeper Hugo Lloris and scorer, Olivier Giroud. With them, Maxime Chanot, born in France, Luxembourg international, he notably worked in Ligue 2 at the Ajaccio club.

Los Angeles FC is the most French of the MLS franchises

And then the exes, notably from AS Saint-Etienne who are Sergi Palencia and Denis Bouanga. The latter is the highest paid player in the California franchise ahead of his partner in the center of attack, Olivier Giroud. They are the “Designated Players” of their team, that is to say those who have salary advantages beyond the limits of the salary cap.

However, this is not the case for goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, who considerably reduced his English pretensions, when he played for Tottenham Spurs, to join the City of Angels. Base salary and additional bonuses combined, it barely exceeds 25,000 euros gross monthly, depending on the exchange rate in force between the dollar and the euro.

The fourth payroll in the North American championship

This 2024-2025 season, the payroll of Los Angeles FC is 20.3 million dollars (18.8 M€), almost identical to its neighbor and rival Los Angeles Galaxy ($20.4 M) and in -below Toronto FC ($29.36 million) and Inter Miami which crushes the salary championship with Messi ($41.7 million in payroll).
