Amin Boudri, 21, had a strong season in the Allsvenskan 2025, where he was one of the league's most prominent players and contributed to GAIS finishing in third place, according to multiple reports. Interest in Boudri grew, and during the winter it became clear that he would leave GAIS, multiple reports indicate. In January, the winger was sold to Los Angeles FC in MLS, according to multiple sources. Transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano reported the fee landed at 3.3 million euros, equivalent to about 35 million kronor, which GAIS themselves confirmed as a record deal. The exact date of the transfer's finalization in January and Boudri's specific role at Los Angeles FC remain unclear, as does whether he has debuted or is still in training.
Despite the successes at GAIS, the decision to leave was not obvious, multiple reports indicate. According to Fotbolltransfers, Amin Boudri described it as a tough decision, noting GAIS is in a good position with European play, but he had a dream to test his wings. He also speaks out about his first time in the USA and a possible place in the Swedish national team, according to multiple reports. According to Fotbolltransfers, Amin Boudri described ensuring GAIS got their share as important, saying he wouldn't have gone if they didn't get a proper share. Aftonbladet reports that Boudri talks about life in MLS, the luxury in LA, and why it 'is like a movie'. The exact terms of the deal beyond the fee and how GAIS plans to use the funds are unknown.
It was a really tough decision. GAIS is in a good position with European play now and all that stuff. But somewhere I've had a dream within me to test my wings.
110 percent. It was important that GAIS got their share of the cake. They brought me in, believed in me, and that's where I've had my two best years. I wouldn't have gone if they didn't get a proper share.
Haha, you could argue for that but as long as GAIS is happy, I'm happy.
