Olivier Giroud scored the goal which earned AC Milan passage into the semi-finals of the Champions League with his goal at the Maradona, and he should mark it with a renewal.
Calciomercato.com report how Giroud scored Milan’s biggest goal of the season, making the most of an extraordinary solo run by Rafael Leao to get 13th of the season and number 27 in the Rossoneri shirt, guiding the Rossoneri through the quarter-final stage.
That ended a long wait to reach the final four of the competition – 16 years to be exact – and another long wait is about to end as this afternoon Giroud will be in Milan to sign his new contract. It ended up being long negotiation that ended positively also by virtue of Giroud’s strong will to stay at the club.
The Frenchman will turn 37 on 30 September, and will sign a one-year contract until June 2024 (with a verbally agreed option for the second year) at €3.5m net.
AC Milan cannot depend on 37 years striker as full starter. Time to buy prolific striker under 30 years to regenerate frontline, giroud still ok for back up and tutor our young striker. One or two year renewal are good for giroud
