Giroud has earned a reputation for being the man for the big occasion throughout his career and that extended into his time with the Rossoneri. He scored vital goals in Milan’s Scudetto win, such as his brace against Inter and winner against Napoli among others, and he has already netted against the Nerazzurri this season.
La Gazzetta dello Sport (via Calciomercato.com) recalls how Milan paid €1m to sign the Frenchman from Chelsea, and he has scored 14 goals in Serie A which works out at €71,428 per goal.
This is about 90 times less than what each Dusan Vlahovic goal costs to Juventus, while the paper also notes that each Marko Arnautovic goal costs €150,000 to Bologna, while for Udinese’s Beto the ratio is €625,000 per goal.
