The light has not yet faded from Argentine soccer legend Merce, and another soccer superstar is about to embark on a journey to the US professional league. According to ESPN, a 37-year-old soccer veteran will be saying goodbye to AC Milan and joining FC Los Angeles as a free agent as the summer draws to a close, leaving a photo with former national teammate Lloris as he says goodbye.
FC Los Angeles has been in contact with the veteran for several weeks now and both sides are well on their way to reaching an agreement. Keot himself is looking forward to starting a new chapter in the USL. Given the team's pressing need for Keot, he is expected to represent France as an overage player in the men's soccer tournament at the Paris Olympics. Chiote is expected to officially retire after the European national team tournament and dedicate himself full time to club play. In 26 Serie A games with AC Milan this season, Chiote scored 12 goals, showing remarkable strength.
Los Angeles Football Club has made a number of moves recently, signing a host of stars including former Real Madrid winger Galif Bali. Although the Wells players' half-season stints didn't last, they helped the team win the 2022 USL Championship. At the end of December last year, FC Los Angeles even announced the signing of marquee player Lloris, a one-time captain of the French national team who will bring more honors to the team. Chiote and Lloris have played alongside each other in the national team for many years, having helped France win the World Cup in 2018. Their reunion will undoubtedly bring new glory to FC Los Angeles.
