Olivier Giroud turned 37 six days ago but the Frenchman has no intention of hanging up his boots at the end of the season. And AC Milan are now preparing a contract renewal, a report claims.
Giroud didn’t have the best of games against Dortmund earlier this week, missing a big chance in the first half. It remains to be seen if he will start against Genoa tomorrow or not, but he’s surely eager to redeem himself.
As reported by today’s edition of Gazzetta Dello Sport (see the featured image), Milan are ready to offer Giroud a one-year renewal. The striker will be free to negotiate with other clubs in January and the Rossoneri thus want to act quickly.
Milan’s idea is also to sign a new striker, as the newspaper concludes, so that Giroud won’t be the starter for next season. Medhi Taremi remains an option, but there are also many others that are unknown for now.
Giroud could play from start tomorrow as well, per the newspaper, and he will be looking for a late birthday goal. In 93 games with the Rossoneri, he has scored 36 goals and could look for 50+ with the renewal.
Fine with a renewal if he gets two weeks off between games. The man needs his beauty sleep.
If the managment renew Giroud it is clear that they are not takinh the team nowhere
This sheer madness, why renew a player’s contact, who does nothing for the team !!!
What kind of foolishness is this going on in Milan. Giroud can’t even score a goal from open play.
I’m grateful for what he has done for us during the scudetto winning season but it’s time to say goodbye to Giroud.
This is good news, he still has a lot to contribute. He can’t be expected to play every game, but one miss against Dortmund doesn’t mean he is finished.
The way most of you judge and condemn player so fast it’s really unfair yes it has not work for him off late he has not scored but still give him some credit renewing his contract doesn’t mean he is going to be a starter come next season atlist for experience to give to the team. As for teremi I will only approved his signing January aside that we need a vibrant young striker come next season as a starter
After last night’s goal keeping heroics, give him a lifetime contract if he wants
