With the 2025 MLS season fast approaching, San Diego FC is making waves as they seek to build a competitive team, and their latest target is none other than French striker Andre-Pierre Gignac.
With the club looking to make an impact in its inaugural season, the potential signing of Gignac has caught the attention of fans.
The club’s ambition is clear: with a hefty $350 million investment, San Diego FC aims to bring in top-tier talent, and Gignac could be the next big name to join their ranks.
Despite the club’s recent attempt to sign Paul Arriola, which didn’t materialize, another door has opened with the possibility of San Diego FC signing Ukrainian Oleksandr Zubkov.
San Diego FC’s bold move for Andre-Pierre Gignac

The 37-year-old forward has been an icon at Tigres UANL in Mexico, but reports are now suggesting that San Diego FC is in talks to bring him to MLS, offering a lucrative salary in the region of $8 to $10 million per season.
According to Nacion Futbol, sources in the US, and Salary Sports, Gignac is now a prime target for San Diego FC, who are keen to make a statement in their debut MLS season.
Gignac’s impressive record at Tigres, where he has been a talisman for many years, makes him a highly coveted asset.
However, despite San Diego’s interest, Gignac has yet to announce his plans for the future.
Club Tigres has reportedly made efforts to retain the French striker, but rumors linking him to a move have intensified.
Not long ago, Gignac was mentioned as a potential option for Club America, one of Mexico’s top clubs.
Although the rumors were never officially confirmed or denied, they raised questions about whether Gignac would remain with Tigres for the 2025 season or seek a new challenge abroad.
Hirving Lozano’s confirmed move adds to the excitement
San Diego FC isn’t just after Gignac, as they have already secured the signing of Mexican international Hirving Lozano.
The 28-year-old winger, who has previously starred in Europe, will be joining San Diego FC for the 2025 MLS season, with a salary of around $10 million per year, making him one of the highest-paid players in the league.
Lozano’s confirmed move adds further excitement to the project, and a potential deal for Gignac would be a game-changing addition to the squad.
It remains to be seen if Gignac will make the move to MLS, but with San Diego FC pulling out all the stops to recruit top talent, the club’s ambition is undeniable.
