Giroud in Ligue 1, the crazy rumor!

As he prepares for a third season at AC Milan, Olivier Giroud, 36, suddenly panics Stade Rennais supporters after a rumor launched on Twitter.

Eleven years after being champion of France and top scorer in the championship with Montpellier, Olivier Giroud, 36, will he make his comeback in Ligue 1? The rumor was suddenly launched by a supporter of Stade Rennais on Tuesday on Twitter, and the other followers of the Rouge et Noir were then inflamed at the idea of ​​rolling out the red carpet to the striker of the Blues, 2018 world champions.

The arrival of Giroud in Brittany is not impossible… The Rennes leaders had already inquired about the native of Chambéry in 2020, during the transfer of Edouard Mendy to Chelsea, but the Blues had ruled out any sale of the so precious center forward of 1.93 m.

Already Matic in Rennes…

This time, the SRFC still has the means to afford (and pay) a Giroud who would peak at 3.5 million euros in Lombardy. The sale of Lovro Majer and that expected of Jérémy Doku could offer a fortune to the club of the Pinault family, which has already just offered the services of a very experienced player in the person of Nemanja Matic.

With the Rossoneri for two years, with a real impact on the results of the 2022 Italian champion (14 then 18 goals in all competitions), Giroud is preparing for the new season as Stefano Pioli’s starting centre-forward. But Milan would still be looking for a number 9 to assist the 36-year-old veteran, still under contract until 2024. The end of the love story is scheduled in a year…
