CM: Giroud and Milan have mutual desire to renew but striker makes key request

AC Milan have not yet been able to reach an agreement with Olivier Giroud over a new contract and one key demand might be behind it, a report claims.

According to a report from Calciomercato.com, Giroud is happy at Milan and the positive feeling is mutual as the Rossoneri are very happy with the performance of the French striker. There is a common will to move forward together, however a deal has not been struck yet.

The source states that Giroud – who will turn 37 in September – is wanting a two-year extension in order to renew with Milan, therefore a deal that runs until 2025.

It is not stated what Milan have offered or if they have even put a bid forward yet, however there have been widespread reports stating that directors Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara are aiming for a one-year extension with an option for a second year.
