France international Giroud, 37, spent three years at the San Siro and helped Milan lift the Serie A title in his first season.
“I am delighted and excited to join LAFC,” Giroud told the LAFC official website., external “I can’t wait to get to Los Angeles and to play in front of the 3252 [supporters' group] and all of the incredible fans.”
LAFC co-president and general manager John Thorrington said: "His championship ambition and his qualities as a man and as a player directly align with ours as a club."
