Lloris has spent the last two seasons with LAFC, arriving from English Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur. He won the 2018 FIFA World Cup with France and, from their EPL days, was reunited this summer with league-record signing Son Heung-Min.

The Black & Gold are also in talks to retain midfielders Frankie Amaya, Mathieu Choinière and Andrew Moran after their respective loans.

They all arrived this past summer – Amaya from LIGA MX side Toluca, Choinière from Swiss Super League side Grasshopper Club Zürich and Moran from EPL side Brighton & Hove Albion. Choinière is a Canadian international and CF Montréal homegrown product; Moran plays internationally for Ireland.

The 2026 campaign will be LAFC's first full year with Son, who tallied 12g/4a in 13 games upon debuting in August. He formed a formidable partnership with fellow DP forward Denis Bouanga.

LAFC will also have a new head coach next year. Steve Cherundolo has departed for Germany after four seasons, a decision he announced in April.
