Tuttosport: Milan plot extension of Giroud’s deal and are willing to offer a pay rise

AC Milan will meet with the entourage of Olivier Giroud in the coming weeks to agree the renewal of his contract, a report claims.

Giroud has had a golden 2022 for club and country as he scored some crucial goals to help guide Milan to their first Scudetto in 11 years and also became the top scorer in the history of the French national team, scoring a winner in the World Cup semi-final against England.

According to Tuttosport (via MilanNews) this morning, in the next few weeks the Milan management will also meet the agents of Giroud, who will be offered a contract renewal for another season, therefore until June 2024.

He will get a pay rise in recognition of what he has done in the last year and a half and the role he has in the current squad as a leader, with the expectation being that the parties will continue their journey together.
