LA Galaxy fail in bid for André Pierre Gignac

MLS side LA Galaxy have failed in a bid to sign French international striker André Pierre Gignac, according to L’Équipe.

Representatives from the Californian side visited Marseille this summer, where Gignac and his family were spending their holidays, to convince the player. A broadbrush salary agreement was in the process of being worked out, but the Galaxy cannot afford the fee that Tigres are demanding for APG.

Gignac is staying open-minded and even though joining up with old team-mate Romain Alessandrini in California is off the table, he could be convinced to sign an extension with Tigres instead.
