AC Milan would like to keep Olivier Giroud, but in a completely different role…
While he just wants to celebrate his 37th birthday, Olivier Giroud remains an integral part of Stefano Pioli’s eleven. This is why the Milanese leaders are preparing to offer him a one-year contract extension, i.e. until June 2025, according to information from the Gazzetta dello Sport.
It must be said that the top scorer in the history of the Blues sees his lease end on June 30 and will therefore have the possibility of negotiating with the club of his choice from January 1, 2024, with a view to a free arrival on next summer.
A supersub role next season?
Yes, but now, if today the former Montpellier player is a full-fledged starter for this Lombard team, he could become a luxury replacement next season. Indeed, the residents of San Siro would like to recruit a high-level number 9 during the next summer transfer window. It remains to be seen whether Giroud will agree to move down the hierarchy of Rossoneri attackers…
On the sidelines of the Champions League match between Dortmund and Milan (0-0), the Savoyard did not close the door to an extension. “ A prolongation ? We will think about it in June, for now I want to do my best for Milan. I don’t plan anything but I feel good here, and I’ve been happy since the first day. »
