Sky: Positive meeting held over Giroud’s renewal but a distance between the parties remains

By Oliver Fisher -

A meeting took place today between the AC Milan management and Olivier Giroud’s entourage over the renewal of his deal, and the parties are close to an agreement.

One of our reporters spoke to one of Giroud’s agents after the summit today in which he gave a rather cryptic response. According to the latest update from Gianluca Di Marzio, the meeting was positive but has not yet led to an agreement for the renewal of the Frenchman’s contract.

The difference between the parties is currently minimal, around €200-300k between the salary offer put forward by the Rossoneri and the demands of his entourage. More specifically, the 36-year-old today earns about €3.7m net per year including bonuses while now he is asking for a renewal at €3.7m plus bonuses.

The parties will speak again shortly since there is a mutual will to reach an agreement, with Giroud having rejected a potential move to Everton late in the January window.

      1. Wow… That copy-paste looked nothing like I copied. 😀

        Let’s try again:

        1. By far the best “goals per 90mins”-ratio for Giroud. Also joined second place in assist. You want to “upgrade” him to let’s say Lazetic who has zero goals and zero assist and has showed nothing? Or CDK who has one assist? 🙂

          1. Dude, he is a center forward that most balls go to. But his shot accuracy is awful considering he doesn’t shot outside of the box. You always bring up stats and then you don’t understand most of it, just generalize without any context. Clown.

          2. “But his shot accuracy is awful considering he doesn’t shot outside of the box. You always bring up stats and then you don’t understand most of it, just generalize without any context. Clown.”

            LOL. Stats say his shot accuracy is far better than Leao’s.

            I don’t understand stats and I’m the clown? LOL. CLEARLY the evidence – once again I might add – proves quite the opposite. But I’m not a 14-year-old kid who resorts to name-calling when things don’t go my way like some. 😉

  1. They made Leao unhappy with low offers and now Giroud is getting 4M or more. Same with Origi. Money wasted, pay Leao what was asked so he can focus on his football and we have a player that can actually create something. I wouldn’t even renew Giroud if he asked for a raise. He won’t have 25 Serie A goals in 2 seasons. 4M per year for that? Beto from Udinese is paid 400 000€ and he has the same stats as Giroud.
