Olivier Giroud’s contract will expire at the end of the season and a decision will be made by all parties then. According to a report, however, the Frenchman’s family could push for a contract renewal with AC Milan.
Gazzetta dello Sport reported this morning that Giroud has attracted interest from MLS, among other leagues, and that his Milan renewal is far from a certainty. Indeed, the parties are expected to sit down and talk about the future after the season.
As added by Calciomercato.com, Giroud will factor in his physical condition, the role he would have at Milan and the wishes of his family. The latter is very happy in Milano and could thus push for a one-year renewal, although the 37-year-old will decide in the end.
This season, Giroud has found the back of the net nine times in all competitions and that is not a bad record by any means. He also has five assists to his name but Milan will be hoping that he can find some more consistency, having had one longer goal drought already.
The Frenchman is set to play from the first minute as Milan will take on Salernitaa tonight (Friday) and you can read all the match facts here.
I appreciate Giroud and all he has done but it’s time to move on.
This should be his last season at Milan. If we feel the need to have an experienced striker then get Muriel from Atalanta.
14 goal contibutions is very respectable for a 37 yo, and since he knows the club and is settled he should stay as ne no2 striker for 1 year *at least* imo.
Thanks Olivier, but it’s time to move on.
Excellent player in a few things, but very limited in many others.
We don’t need an alternative to Giroud, we need a replacement of Giroud.
Giroud is class ,,,just hope he stays for another season .he still has got what it takes ,,so Olivier just silence the doubters again and score two goals this evening .
9 goals and 5 assists already ..so what do you want.
I have great faith in this team and in our coach pioli .
This season could turn out a much better one than many of you seem to suggest..
So come on Olivier ..you have confidence in your ability so have i ..
Currently he’s the best scorer (9) and best assistant (6) in the team. 15 goal contributions in 20 matches, but it’s time to move on? I wish we had more players like him.
